FS Planet

[Knick]

Yea i'm new too the whole fs thing. And i recently downloaded a bunch of planes, and I was wondering, why do authors prohibt their aircraft from going on FS planet?

Partly because the website owner is rude, doesn't respect anyone, and puts unauthorized files on his website

WOW, so pretty much he downloads a file from here and post's it's on his site? What a jerk. Can't you just like sue him for stealing ur aircraft?

I think people have looked into it, but were not able to for different reasons

That is correct , I didn't knew things about this page, until I get the news 3 month ago, was too late and personally upload it two of my models,was a huge mistake , and from now AT least my models will be Not For Distribuition just  Simv and my site.

This was presisly for that site and some others ,Yes I will add that the Owner its a liar and take things without permission.

I don't know if Ferdy (owner of FSPirate) still does it but he used to sell CDs of freeware to make money for himself as well. Alas he has done more to drive designers out of the hobby than perhaps anyone else in the FS world. The dark side of our hobby he is........

wasn't he a school Bus driver? or bus driver ? thay was the one who I talked to

We've had long discussions on this subject before. I've had no dealings with this site myself so can only go on what I'm told. I know my opinion is unpopular but I can't see the problem if the files are true Freeware, providing full credit is given & it costs nothing to download them. I'm sure that the same thing happens with the more "respectable" FS sites including Simviation.

To me free are means it is free to download but ask for permission if u want to post it somewhere else

I wonder how many files posted on the 3 major FS websites fulfil those criteria.
