Hey Don,I figured you dropped off the planet!!! The only place I visit anymore is AVSIM, You can't get in over at the other guys most of the time. The last airport I did was only loaded here. I just wish the library search was as friendly as FS.com's. Thats my only complaint.Take care buddy!Dale

Same here....The only reason I still use FlightSim is because I WON a Free First Class Membership. There's no way I'm paying for the ability to dl freeware...it's paradoxal!!!Thanx a bunch AVSIM!!!!

I find I can get into F.s.com providing it is at 0600 GMT. Most other times are no go.

Drop by my site buddy. I have a great forum filled with fun loving folks there too. www.avsim.com/alaskaHope to see you!!!!!DonI have 2 sites now! Drop off the face of the earth? Don't have time....SORRY! LOL!!Don

I recently visited the "other site" and now you can't go a page without 3-4 obnoxious ad's popping up. Some of them even crash Internet Explorer. Not a good time. :-mad[TABLE BORDER=0][tr][td]

LONG LIVE AVSIM!

Same here, I always start and eventually return to AVSIM when I do my daily surfing. This is the place to be! Thank you AVSIM.

Absolutely agree! Cheers,Paul

I am a freeware designer, and I must say I hate the way FSPLANET (Ferdy) steals freeware stuff and make many with it.My team latest release was Fouga CM170 Magister. In readme-file we require asking permission for upload. It is there because I just like to know where Fouga package is available. Ferdy just put Fouga in his site, he even don't bother to send a simple e-mail.I send message for Ferdy, I demand him to remove Fouga from FSPLANET, and that reply that I have no legal rights to demand this!.So this is how much Ferdy appreciate freeware designers, he think we are here just for making many to him.There is no need to visit in FSPLANET. Everything in that site is stealed somewhere, so files occure day or two later. I am sure that you don't like to make that kind of man any richer...

Same here. Uploaded something to Avsim only, within a week it was at fsplanet, fsfreeware, fs.com, simviation and probably other sites I don't know about...Maybe next time put something in the readme stating that distribution outside channels I choose (naming those specifically) is not allowed (but then, I think I did that....).

I've already found sites that changed their terms of service to read that use of adblockers is not allowed unless you have a paid for membership.Not that they have many ways of preventing it of course, but that's only a matter of time I'm afraid.

You have legal rights! Its your work! And it says, 'BEWARE! This site is addictive!" That should be transfered to Avsim! :)http://www.someplacesomewhere.com/uploaded/9vsve/sig.jpg

It's called "file poaching", and you do have the right to control where your files get distributed from. We have removed a number of files from AVSIM's library when a well-intentioned user downloaded from one site and then up to AVSIM. When the authors ask us to remove those, we do.
