hey
why is it when i try to download somt'n form FSPLANET its says dat downloads start from some place else and then it says that it cantt find service.
Also FsFreeware doesnt work for more then 5 days whats up with it!!

Boris, best to ask FSPlanet why you can't download from their site.
And what is this FSfreeware?

Ozzy

As far as FSPLANET goes, when the little window comes up when you try to d/l jusy follow the links in that window and it will take you to the FS files on their server, they are just trying to get you to buy a membership. On the FSFreeware deal, I can't find a way around every since they went with the pay membership, guess "WE" won't be going there any more!

FSPlanet & Sr Serena, the bozo who runs it, is the biggest pirate in the world of FS.

Ozzy;

Fsfreeware.com is another download site, with a good amount of detailed scenery. But, they charge for most of their files.

Don't know the origin of the files. I don't want to make any assumptions, but charging $14.00 for a chunk of scenery sounds like "supplimental income" for somebody. But, who knows for sure?

Later,
Al

Hmm, okay thanks. Never heard of them, so they can't be that good!
My advice, if you want help or something ask here first. Someone is bound to know the answer, and not get all bent out of shape and shout at you.

thanx pple

done , he's off my fav list now

Well i agree whole hartedly the clown who runs it, is a pirate and i am one of the designers he has made more than slightly annoyed, on his site he posted my space shutttle package, that not in its self a crime. I dont mind re-distribution as long as it remains as it was when it came of my site but it wasn't it was modified by someone else and when i sent him an e-mail asking him to remove it i did not even get a reply i think we should boycot FSPlanet forever as we can get most if not all of the aircraft on his site from Simviation.com without the hassle of his site and its membership things (con)

TLUK has had problems with them already, they have uploaded our files to them before, after we asked them not to. Me, Dan and Alan had talk with Ferdy before, he also brought in the owner of FSFreeware. I don't know but I think those two are in league with each other, they both offer First Class Membership etc etc. Enough is enough. As im on a roll here

Can everyone who's had files stolen by them have legal action taken?

Yes you can.

However, this is not easy. I have been personally involved in internet litigation when a couple of pages from one of my websites were blatantly ripped off. It took me over a week of constant searching before I found a solicitor who knew anything about internet law as it relates to copyright, never mind one that would actually take the case on.

Because you're often persuing a matter internationally, it can get hideously expensive. I was fortunate. The offender was in the U.K. and a phone call to his I.S.P. (who are also legally liable in cases like this) resulted in his site disappearing.

Unfortunately, the practical difficulties of persuing legal recourse against a site in a foreign country deter most people. I have to say that a phone call to an i.s.p. as was recommended to me, is often far cheaper and more effective, as long as you can prove that the files were originally yours and subject to copyright.

Cheers.

Oh and funny how elriko is banned but im not.. hehe... my work anyway; but as far as im concerned i'd rather sell my soul than upload to his site  ;)

Done and good luck.

FYI, my 2 cents worth.
I agree completely with your views on FSPlanet, as I too had some files taken from the 1 and only site I uploaded them to. They suddenly appeared at FSP without my knowledge. When I emailed and got no response, I posted my complaint on their forums.  Needless to say, I was deleted and blocked from their forums...LOL

FSFreeware...well..I go to that site almost everyday.  I've never paid once for access to the free files that are stored there.  While with the recent change, it is quite hard to access the free file area, they don't really have anything that you can't find here at Simviation.
