Nonsense. He's a paying customer and needs to be given what he's paid for, without dancing the dance as you suggest. + 1,00000 ! Incidentally to the OP, I had exactly the same issue a year ago. Bought; no download link live, no reply to emails. That was for the DC-9 VC pack. Got it eventually but I would never, ever deal with McPhat again. Totally unprofessional outfit IMHO. Search the forums - many people have had this experience with McPhat.

What a massively negative take, on what in reality is just some people's viewpoints! When people ask in threads "what is a good plane?" do you expect forum members to list every add-on available? Of course not ......... people give their viewpoint on what ticks the boxes for them just as people have done in this thread. I see no-one complaining ; apart from you.

Thanks Bill. I'll try firing one off to rwhitwell. Anyone in the AVSIM team able to help clarify regarding this matter?

Mmmm.... I've just received a "domain does not exist" email rejection, concerning the email address that is given as a contact email address on the PayPal transaction:- kwhitwell at someplace.ca Message: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain; email address does not exist. So no email address contact for PayPal transactions to AVSIM at the moment. :( Respectfully, (and you guys do an amazing job and EVERYONE should donate), you guys really need an active email address as your contact on your PayPal account.

At my peak, about 6 years ago (before kids, business and degree study), 2-3 per day; every day. Now; 2 per week (so about 8-10 per month) is all I can manage, time wise. But I find the more my time is constrained for FS, the more I value and enjoy each flight. :smile:

On Vimeo, next to the "Download" button, there should be a "Watch now" button?

When they're done by Rob Young, Alexander Metzger, Majestic, or PMDG.... :wink:

Oh well, at least I'm not alone. :smile: Perhaps they need 'adding' manually by someone. If this was perhaps added on the donate screen, at least people would know and wouldn't then chase. I've sent an email to the PayPal contact too, although just sent it today to be fair.

Just the first sets that are suggested on each page..... haven't had time to look in more detail or tweak yet, so these are just "Set 01" etc for each category.

Hi Folks, I made two separate donations to Avsim yesterday, using the PayPal system thats integrated into the donate forum section. Both were elligible to have the "donator" banner added to my ID, but as yet it has not been added? If there's a time delay, forgive my impatience - no hurry - it's just not clear to me whether it does take some time to update, or whether the donations haven't been picked up. Thanks. Dave.

Beauties! I too use OpusFSX for weather, and REX4 Textures, but don't use ENB at the moment; tempted to reinstall it after seeing these beauties!

Just bought REX4 Texture Direct today, to accompany Opus which is my weather engine of choice :smile: This is a short (buy foggy) flight from EGGD > EGNT. The weather at EGNT on arrival was really low viz (we've had really heavy fog here all day), so a nice CAT III autoland was performed. :smile: Low viz arrival in to EGNT :-

Hi Florian, I would honestly give the opinion that you are one of the most polite, patient and mild-mannered people that posts around here. So I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that some people just get bees in their bonnets about certain viewpoints, or more likely, certain people. Today, I posted the following statement in a thread about the excellent new Alabeo Piper Sport:- Not one bit of criticism about the product, just a logical reason why I'm not buying this particular add-on, and this got a "Dislike". I'm open to my posts getting some 'dislikes', just the same as they get some 'likes'...... this is because I am a person who is not backward in coming forward with my opinion or viewpoint. I therefore tend to attract like-minded or opposite-minded people, with this type of posting style. In the event, the person who made this "dislike" is an individual who is part of a commercial entity, and I once gave some criticism of one of his works. He is well known to take this really badly and he started PMing me under new, different accounts he'd set up. The account that he gave his "dislike" from today, was yet another brand new account that he is using to go around following my posts, disliking them, to "exact his revenge"... ha ha :lol: So the point is - there are some psychologically challenged people on any forum, and no matter what you do, they may decide to object to you.

Bit strange that someone would "dislike" a post above, simply stating a fact, that the Alabeo doesn't come with RXP integration for the 430 unit, just the 530 :- ........ until you discover that the new user here "Freeware FDE Designer" is actually Bernt Stolle !! ..... That's right - I dared to criticise a couple of Mr Stolle's FDEs some months ago and as others have seen lately, he's opened several new user IDs, purely with the view of harrassing me by PM, and as in this case, to randomly "dislike" posts. :smile: Pretty sad huh!

Great fun! - enjoyed it.

Ah, @tooting, so you read the Daily Mail ... :lol: .... that explains! ....seems I got you right on the money in the other thread :lol: Joking apart, nice 'pit the guy has built here. I built a NGX cockpit using Engravity / Project Magenta stuff in 2007 and it was amazing but swallowed me entirely for a year; my wife was literally a widow!

It looks fantastic but the only reason I've not bought it is because of this habit that ALB/CAR have of only offering RXP integration for the RXP530, and not the 430. Most vendors like RealAir, for example, would offer support for either unit. I don't own the 530, just the 430, and don't fancy using the default CAR 530, so have sadly had to give this one a miss.

Isn't the 50North 737 just an external model ?? Can't see how using that with a default panel, no VC etc is "better" than the feelThere 737 !

I mean, "you northerns" ?? ....... You are showing your true contempt and colours here matey ..... :girl_devil: Watford's probably the North to you. :rolleyes:

What makes you think I need educating on this? Thanks for your wisdom but I was not in any way talking about the instruments of governance, like politicians, I was talking about the head of state, who is the Queen, and who let's not forget, appoints and (supposedly) calls the government to account. I am happy for you in your Conservatism - hopefully you're in a group and regional demographic that get's "looked after". Until you've seen entire communities wiped out of industry and a living, across 3 generations, then perhaps suspend judgement on how others are affected by the divisive tory regimes this country has suffered over the years. Any way, last post in here on this - if someone was entitled to show support and encourage for the leader of the non-democratic state regime in Britain, then I was entitled to object to it. But I've no interest in arguing with narrow-minded tories on a flight sim forum.

It seems someone was naive (foolish) enough to pay FSXGenius a considerable sum of money for a PC, which never then materialized. You'd have to wonder how anyone who was supposedly so knowledgeable and genius-like with FSX, was not a known presence here on AVSIM ?? ............ Wouldn't you expect someone who was being put up there in the realm of so-called FSX geniuses, that includes NickN, Word Not Allowed, Froogle and all the other (mainly self promoting) "celebrities" of the FS world..... wouldn't you expect them to have a known presence here in AVSIM ?? (which FSXGenius apparantly doesn't). that would set alarm bells ringing for me. But then again, I would never ever buy a PC from someone via a YouTube channel any way! I hope the guy get's his money back, and that the people in this thread who championed "FSX Genius" and his "services" reflect on what this guy was really about. If it seems too good to be true ........... it usually is.

Happy Birthday to her as a human being. :smile: As a member of an unelected 'elitist' family, who rule a country purely due to a blood line, rather than anything democratic, I'm less keen. It is funny when you think about it, that the western world is keen to 'force' democracy on the arab nations etc, yet one of the oldest nations in the West isn't a democracy at all!!..... with an unelected, unchallengeable head of state based purely on herederitary lines! :lol: Here's hoping the Scots will have sense and will break away from the UK, and following that all the nation states of the UK will become democratic, independent countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each led by people that understand each individual country's priorities and interests; rather than by some self-interested old Etonian posh school boys in Westminster, who still think it's 1740. These views aren't about left wing versus right wing - they're about democracy, hypocrisy, and the death of elitism, that preserves the interests of the rich and privileged in the UK. But, of course, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZIE !!!! :smile:

There is an irony in that coming from a French speaker, considering how many consonants and vowells you don't voice at all in that language! (Joke :wink: ). Joking apart, I think what you are describing is not a 'habit' but in fact just part of the dialect. The UK has very diverse accents and dialects and I would certainly rather have someone speaking in their natural accent than a 'queens english' over-pronounced "voice over" style. I think the guys could speak a little slower in the vids (which has been widely fed back, and they've said they will slwo down the speech on future vids), but criticizing the guys for talking in what is their own accent is a little harsh IMHO. Anyone who does not speak English as a first language is likely to find it hard to pick up every word someone is speaking, regardless of their accent or dialect. The guy is a real pilot, and comes with all of that knowledge and experience he is sharing with us - presumably he was recruited on that basis, and not on his regional accent. So I think the key is - slowing down the speech - not over analyzing speech 'habits'. Just my 0.2p

I loved those parts. To me, they are part of the whole appeal of having a real life pilot who works on the line day in day out, explaining how the things that we tend to skip over in the sim, work in the real world.

Well, then, uninstall it and move on. :wink: There are two types of people around here; those who encounter problems, and calmly and politely ask for help and advice until their problem is resolved...... ......and those who encounter problems and put the parades and fanfares out, and create a big drama. The first type tend to have a lot more fun.
