Definitely sucks. I got a lot of stuff from them. Nice guys over there too. I was reading that later on... it may be back, but only time will tell. Sucks cause I was just there last night too!

they seem to be very mad at the FS community.... it's strange, since the FS scene is probably one of, if not the most, friendly and welcoming out there...

try some mindless shooter community... those guys will eat your heart out

There have been too many people in this FS world getting a free ride."




What a load of crap!  "A free ride"?  Why do you become a freeware developer then?  Really!? :-?  A free ride? ::)

Apparently the "hate mail" exceeded the "thank you for the hard work you do for free mail."

Exactly.... people bitch and moan about things from a freeware developer and drive them to close up shop. It has happened countless times to some very talented people. If you think you can do a better job making aircraft/scenery for FS... have at it. You will see it is in no way easy. So taking all that bitching and moaning for something that is free is more than enough to drive them to close up shop. I dont blame them one bit. If you paid for something, and it didnt work as advertised... then you have a legitimate complaint. If its something free... who are you to complain that it isnt perfect?

Anyways.. hope to see them back!

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That is bad news.

I remember once posting a request for a repaint on a website totally irrelavant to UKMIL. They read my request, and personally made me it without even knowing and popping a private message to me to download. I am still waiting till this day for my original repaint request to be done.

Hopefully, they will come back.

Its a shame that people can become so negative and thankless towards the people who have done nothing but work hard and and help this hobby grow. If you like download an addon and like it, thank the designer. If you don't quite like it, simply delete it. There's no reason to discourage the designer from improving.

In this day of age when the future of MSFS is bleak, and when there aren't a lot of freeware addons for FSX to begin with, this sort of negative attitude and behavior is completely unacceptable >:(

See my point, YOU HAVE NO DARN IDEA ,WHAT I HAVE TO PASS THRU IT,YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD ITS TO MAKE ANY ADD ON ,YOU DON'T APPRECIATE OUR WORK AT ALL, I BEEN PERSONALLY I BEING ACCUSE AS A THIEVE, OTHERS CAN TAKE A FREEWARE AND SAY HERE THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH IT BECAUSE ITS FREEWARES IT MEAN IT NOTHING..MAYBE A NORCAL ITS MUCH IMPORTANT IN FS ,I WAS IN A PROJECT ,I COULD SEE AS ALWAYS MY POST WAS NOT IMPORTANT ,MY WORK IS NOT IMPORTANT ,

TO ALL YOU FS ARMCHAIR CRITICS WHO CANNOT EVEN BUILD A PEA

You have force another FREEWARE DEVELOPER to close its doors, with constant snipes at the aircraft models and paints, and the truth is, you can't do any better!

GOODBYE FS WORLD
