Hi Astradanthanks for the writeup mateI am not SkysimI made the Hawk for Skysim who sell the packagea good place to get support is probably the Skysim support forumthere are 1000's of Flight simulation forums and i can't monitor them all as i have stuff to doI have spent 12 years of my spare time making Freeware and a message like yours really makes that time feel well spent."Have a Nice Day mate"you could possibly have e mailed me as a quick "Google" of Rick Piper will send you to my forums or where i hang outranting like this is just pointless :( RegardsRick

Hi Billyes much like you would view it as a compliment when an Eaglesoft model turns up for download on their site.it makes no difference in my view and most developers view.there is right & there is wrong there is no maybeRegardsRick

Hi BillNot sure what you mean My copyright says the model cannot be uploaded.which they have done.my annoyance at this type of thief is when i kindly asked them to remove my file by posting on their they barred me from their forum.The model is covered by Horizon Simulations Copyright anyway as they had to agree to the copyright before they could download the model in the first place.RegardsRick

Hi Billyes mate it's still there.the link was their frontpage until about 4 hours ago when they edited the site.now you go to FSX when it asks you to choose then you will see STOLSeekers at the top right and it's at the bottom of that page when it opens.RegardsRick

Hi AllSomeone e mailed me to say my A-22 Foxbat model was uploaded to a group website.we need to name and shame these people but i will only show you the proof!http://www.simgameit.com/i asked them politely to remove it and the site owner almost instantly barred me from the forum and all those that posted in my supportI am totally sick of the of my stolen work turning up on Websites & Ebay discsJust wanted to warn other developers as your stuff will be here sooner or later and these guys don't follow the LawSorry if this is the wrong section guys & feel free to move it to the correct place if you need toRegardsRick

Hi JimThere is no add remove tag for ASX as that went with windows Vista.RegardsRick

Hi JimNo Mate Vista decided that it would automatically resize the C: drive's partition so it would not boot.(good old Vista)GRRRRRRRRR!My FSX install was ok on another drive (all i did was rename the FSX install to FSXold then install FSX fresh then add sp1 etc.Then i renamed this to FSX Default and bought my original FSX back by renaming that to FSX . (ie: so the registry etc was happy with paths etc)It works fine with all my addons and development models & scenery.I am guessing thats why ASX won't reinstall ?hope this makes sense ?. ;o)RegardsRick

Hi Support teamASX & ASG have been working fine since release but i have gone back to Windows XP as Vista is not useable for me.Now the installer for ASX just bombs out with this error message.(see att screenshot of message)(I downloaded the installer again fresh but still same error.)Have removed all spyware as i usually do.Any idea what it means ?.RegardsRick ;o)

Hi Tim83 is a small amount ;o)My Viscount 800 folder has 176 liveries! ;o)Trouble is i'm getting flack both ways.some people want to paint some liveries and others are requesting liveries so i have given up and released the paintkit.I waited until i had made the Large Freight door modelas now all model shapes are covered so people will hopefully put the right paint on the right model.There where quite a few unofficial repaints released but mostly painted on the wrong airframes so now they can try agin with the correct ones ;o)RegardsRick

Hi BlairI still have a few more to paint but pack 3 grew a little too large.the aim was for 25 liveries but it ended up 34.Thanks for posting a heads up mate.RegardsRick ;o)

Hi JanneI will ask Fraser and i do understand about forums.I probably belong to about 40!.I will post his reply here or if he will allow i will send his e mail address.Sorry but i know so little about xml that i can't be much help.In a year or so i might be ok as i'm slowly learning the black art of xml now that i have no problems with the rest of the model making stuff.RegardsRick

Hi JanneIf you take the time to post the question i am 100% sure Fraser will answer your question as soon as he sees it.Honestly you won't be fatally injured by the effort involved ;o)busy trying to keep 1700 people happy that dowloaded the base pack only & can't see it says file 1 of 3 and wondering why they can't fly the 748 model :-yellow1RegardsRick

Hi JanneI have tested the sequence you said is wrong 6 times now and it works perfectly every time for me.Fraser does not give out his e mail address and you must use my support forum.Have you at least taken the time to read the postings on my support section ?.I cannot bring the whole thing here just for you mate.I'm guessing you have a key repeat problem as mentioned by someone on my site.RegardsRick

Hi JanneFraser Made the gauges as i don't do XML.you need to be posting this on the 748 models support forumas Fraser can answer it there.Big AlStill waiting for reply to message about your settings.RegardsRick

I also placed the Rolls Royce plate just above your head in the VC with the info printed on it !A i knew nobody would RTFM ;o)RegardsRick
