The PMDG forums are for PMDG product discussions and support. Posting topics here related to other games, non-illustrative images (as in, I have a problem, here is an image of it), news items not related to PMDG etc. are OFF TOPIC. We are going to get a little more agressive in ensuring that those posts are moved to appropriate locations within AVSIM or deleted. Please do not post off-topic (NON-PMDG) topics, and please do not try to circumvent this. We ask everyone to help us by reporting any off-topic posts here. Thank you.

We started to send a PM yesterday to everyone which is repeated here. Some who received it interpreted it to mean that we were accusing them specifically of copyright violations. That was NOT specifically addressed to a single individual or individuals, but as below, intended to be a general reminder to everyone. After it became clear that some were interpreting it as a specific message to them, we cancelled the PM distribution. Most of you did not receive that PM and that is the reason we are repeating the reminder here. THIS IS A GENERAL REMINDER TO EVERYONE.. PLEASE READ... We are seeing more copyrighted material being placed in the forums of AVSIM. This is in direct violation of our Terms of Service and everyone registered in our Forums is receiving this PM as a reminder. Here are some examples of copyrighted material that WILL NOT be placed on or in AVSIM's systems: Entire "cut and pastes" of news articles, posts from other sites, etc. Images uploaded to or embedded in forum posts from any other site than your own AND which you OWN, or have written permission to use . Example; images from AIRLINERS.NET, cartoons from the Washington Post, etc. What is allowed? Excerpted material. That is, a small bit of a post or news article which you reference in your message. Excerpting is allowed under copyright laws and is allowed here. Excerpting is NOT wholesale copy and past; it is a short bit of material which acts as a reference to your own material. Or, if you wish to cite the entire article, provide a link (URL) to it. AVSIM's system will open another window for that destination to appear in. Links to images; not embedded images, but the URL to the image at another location, IF THAT OTHER LOCATION ALLOWS LINKING. Again, this is not providing an embedded image in your post, but a URL link to it that a fellow member can click on and follow. Conversely, AVSIM's content is also copyrighted. Please do not copy and paste from AVSIM to other locations, unless you own the material Very simply stated, if you do not own the material, image, etc. OR you do not have specific permission to use that material, image, etc., do not post it. Copyright violation is a serious matter, and people who violate our Terms of Service put AVSIM in jeopardy as well as themselves. Those who continue to violate our ToS' will be shown the door. Thank you for your cooperation.

Just a quick note to remind all users it's NOT ok to post copyrighted images into a forum post. It's never fun to be the one opening a nasty gram from a major photo website with legal notice to remove images. Been there, done that, and don't want anyone to be in that position on our forums. A suggestion might be to provide a link to the website where the picture is hosted if their policies allow that. Please know that if this is spotted, which has been increasingly prevalent, pictures will be removed and your account may be moderated depending on the severity and frequency.

I don't know what I was thinking... In the original instructions on how to vote for an image in the X-Plane contest, I told everyone to click on the little green UP ARROW shown in each of the image's main display screen... Doing that only increases the participants "reputation". We are not contesting reputations, of course, so that was a wrong instruction to give. Instead, to vote on an image and have it mean anything, you need to select one of five STARS that are at the top of each image pane. The fifth star represents the highest vote. Doing that will determine whether the image wins or not. If you have done the green arrow approach, please go back and recast your rating. I suggest you continue to go back during the course of the contest to update your voting for images as they are uploaded t the gallery. Growing old is, ahm, er, ah ... I forgot.

We are slowing turning on Topic Ratings for all forums. Since we have a couple of hundred forums, that may take us awhile. As of this writing, we have turned on ratings for AVSIM specific forums and all of the Microsoft forums. We're working our way down the list, and sooner or later all will be turned on. We have added a feature that allows you to open up the forum category, say MS FSX and in the list of topics, you will rating stars next to each topic. These stars represent your opinion of the topic and your rating of it using 1 through 5 starts, with 5 stars being best. The total numbers of stars displayed in gold are the average of every user's vote. You can only rate a topic once. There are no negative ratings, but a 1 star should be assumed to be "not good".

Vous vous souvenez certainement de la Belgique photo réaliste de l'équipe WaffleFlightPro, indisponible depuis la disparition de Megaupload. Gerard Salden propose une nouvelle scène en 1m/pixel (dont Bruxelles en 50cm/pixel). Le tout pèse +/- 3,5 gigas et vous trouverez screens et liens dans son annonce. Profitez-en vite, les liens n'étant actifs que jusqu'au 25 mai.

Hi guys, I just checked with Damian. There are some routing issues to the primary server. Just to let you know what is going on. The secondary is ok but may take up for the slack under peak usage periods. It is being worked on. Please don't flood the service desk with tickets on this it is being looked into. Again the WX servers are "not" down. -Dave

Announcement We, the management of AVSIM have permanently banned Mr. Srdan Kostic, longtime member and onetime Administrator and Moderator of the Hardware Forums. Srdan has a lot of friends that have much respect for certain aspects of his technical and organizational abilities. For many years he was a positive contributor to this institution. When Word Not Allowed was appointed the Hardware Forums Manager he asked if he could put together an FSX hardware guide. Over the course of the next short while he accumulated the various pieces most of us hardware and software orientated people had collected and stowed in files, favorites links and buried in old forum threads hither and yon. Over the next few weeks and months we began to get buffeted by the blowbacks from Srdan's human interaction skills, or I should say, the near total absence thereof. The longer he moderated the hardware forums, the firmer and harsher he became. The harder he became, the more members resisted and the more authority he was granted to enforce his methods of moderation. Srdan seemed to have a gift for finding the wrong way to say something to members that he was moderating. Complaint after complaint was filed, but we would judge his deficiency to be some kind of cultural thing and go over the same basics repeatedly. Now don't get me wrong, there are some clear advantages to a firm handshake, so to speak, and many felt the strong sense of order he brought was exactly what was needed. If that were all there was, I might have even agreed with them. One lesson he had a difficult time learning was when to remain neutral, that expressing his personal opinions on commercial products is inappropriate for AVSIM staff. The problem with that, besides often being wrong is, as a staff member, everything he said carried greater weight than the average members. This also caused problems with certain developers. The stress within the management team caused by Srdan really began to be evident with his accumulation of power, and his willingness to use it with little restraint. With Administrator power came the ability to move threads forum wide into the Hardware forums. There were no halfway measures with Srdan, so he became a hyperactive agent of motion throughout any forums that caught his interest. The most serious strain of the troubles began to grow as the information Word Not Allowed strung together was massaged and compiled into an easier to read format than what Nick Needham's various posts had attained, although a lot of Nick's work was indeed his own (as was Bojote's). That is where things became increasingly surreal. It was no longer our team's guide but Word Not Allowed's. First it was our ideas, then their ideas, then his ideas of what had been a number of different ideas into what now amounts to his guide of accumulated FSX knowledge. Word Not Allowed's blatant abuse of power, the ongoing conflicts with individual members and his embarrassing tendency towards self-aggrandizement began to effect our management relationship we had with him in a negative way. I am sure we share in the blame for not being able to help him overcome these difficulties, but as time went on it became an unmanageable work environment. Srdan began just doing what he wanted when he wanted, any way he wanted. The end had to come, and it went something like this: Srdan decided to support people in the guide on helping their FSX software to run in P3D. It was AVSIM policy that we rigorously oppose any violation of software EULA's with their licensed users. Srdan still wanted to put it in his guide, and Tom said no, Srdan went ahead and did it anyway and put "His" guide on his own domain, and Tom fired him. All members of the AVSIM senior staff agreed 100%. Although Word Not Allowed was fired as Admin, moderator, staff member and was no longer our hardware guy, nothing seemed to change. He still hangs out here, answers the enquirers the same way, still tells everyone to go to his blog which still helps people break their EULA. He is thereby still doing the things he got fired for and are drawing members out of AVSIM to his blog with impunity. After several months of this conduct and being warned repeatedly by senior staff, I officially wrote Srdan asking/ordering him to stop this activity, especially the poaching of our members. He agreed, but did and changed nothing. Last month Paul Johnson was asked by Tom to consider taking the job of running the Hardware forums. Paul agreed and amazingly was willing to write an Official AVSIM hardware and software guide for FSX. He has done an excellent job and produced, what in many people's opinion is the best and most comprehensive FSX guide in the industry. Of course Srdan was not pleased. At first his comments to Paul were almost brotherly. One day last week he let loose and didn't bother mincing words or pretending common cause or comradely rivalry. He was vicious and direct. I don't know if Srdan knew it or not, but the day the guide came out Paul's mother died. The day Word Not Allowed went on the attack was the day she was buried. Between that and a very ill wife Paul was at his ropes end. Who wouldn't be? Paul is gracious enough that he is going to keep publishing the AVSIM guide for the members of AVSIM, but will be announcing stepping down from moderating the Hardware Forum. Yesterday Word Not Allowed again began to directly pull people out of AVSIM with the same old line. He was warned by Chase who was mocked for his effort. No more. We are asking our present moderating staff to do whatever needs to be done to keep the peace and the progress going in the hardware forums. Between Jim, Zach, Chase, Tom and I, we will be fine. We are looking for a specific hardware moderator, but do not want a superstar with an eye for self promotion, but a knowledgeable moderator. In addition we ask our members to step forward and be the drivers of innovation and advancement in the hardware forums. The ordinary hardware tinkerer like myself can be helpful to others. That is our goal for present. We still have Paul helping to keep the guide updated, so we still have what it takes to be the best for those that need guidance, help, and most of all, encouragement. We are human, and this is a human organization. No one is perfect, everyone is mortal and subject to fallibilities, failures and faults. Meanwhile Srdan is not welcome to be a part of the future AVSIM, nor is his guide welcomed to be hosted, posted or linked to from here. We have a better guide in place that will be updated as needed. We have made a difficult decision, but it is made, and we move forward. Sincerely,
