People like YOU are the ones the moderators need to have a word with. You are OBVIOUSLY trying to provoke someone with this extremely aggressive post of yours! I don't mind your opinions ... they are yours to have. Just don't come in here acting like this and tell us to "pi**-off" if we feel like responding to you. That is acting like you are above us and better than us and I for one, WILL call you on it!!! This is a FRIENDLY forum and I for one would like to see it stay that way. We don't ATTACK others in here.

If designers put their stuff out there, they had best be sure that it is good work if they don't want negative feedback on it. Put out junk, and people are going to gripe whether you like it or not. I will call-out junk IMMEDIATELY because if I give others the heads-up on a crappy or flawed aircraft I can help them avoid having the same problems I did with it. If the designers don't like negative feedback, then they need to work harder on their models.

FREE JUNK IS STILL JUNK!!!

On reading some of the comments in this thread I'm not surprised that Mike packed it in.

Let me try to make one thing clear. We're talking about Freeware. This costs absolutely nothing to try & you're not forced to download it or keep it if you dislike it. Nobody minds criticism if it's constructive but having to suffer personal abuse & even death threats like Mike did is completely over the top & unforgivable.

He got death threats over freeware aircraft  :o?

This is the internet ... there are ALL KINDS of freaks and weirdo's out there and you have no way of knowing who you are corresponding with or  what to expect from them! I never heard about the death threats but it doesn't surprise me. If you put your email address out there for just anyone to have, you have to expect anything and EVERYTHING! There is also the fact that we don't know how Mike reacted to some of the people who were emailing him. Maybe he became short-tempered with one of his e mailers or got into a heated argument with someone which resulted in the death threats ... who knows.

But to blame others for Mike "packing it in" is just ridiculous! He is a "Big Boy" I am sure and therefor, responsible for his own actions. If I (or any of us) were to get mad and leave this forum over an argument or something like that, does that mean that I can blame everyone else here on the forum for it and hold you ALL responsible??? I think not! I would be leaving on my own accord just as Mike quit modeling on his own accord. Blaming others for that is just silly.

I was fortunate to get everything he had that was of interest to me before he shut down. I am glad I spent the time to do so...
