IMPORTANT NEWS!!!!

[ibpilot]

I paid for it. it does some cool stuff and it was his work, i like to be paid for my work. why shouldnt he. dont think i would work if i didnt get paid, fsuipc is a good and simple little program that does not take up valuable puter resources and provides outstanding support for a myriad of add ons.  I hope peter makes enuff money to take a vacation with all his family and friends quit his job and write payware programs that make my simmin more fun, for a few dollars.  If i can pay hundreds of dollars over the years to microsoft for everyone of their flight sims they ever made. i dont see why 30 bucks for a cool little program like peters should bother me.

Oh yeah ive spent bout 40 grand since 1996 flyin the real ones.  its just money go figure

Aw, for crying out loud!  This is the so called land of freedom and opportunity.  None of us "depend" on Pete's work! We can still breath without it. Stop your griping and donate some of your own time and creativity before condemning the man for charging a reasonable fee for his services.  If you're sitting in front of a pc playing fs9, then you're not starving! Sheez!

Hi Ozzy,

   What is exactly an FSUIPC payware?

[HeyChief]

A $30 payware program to enable a $2000+ computer to run a $40-$50 game more effectively.

How many of you have payware planes, scenery, and other programs?

There's nothing wrong with his decision, it's his intellectual property, and he can do with it as he wishes.

.......... if you read carefully his web site you will see that he has been more than fair..........he has made the essential components (the ones we depend on) of the program free, but charges for the luxury items.  And he gives the full version to anyone who DID contribute before.........

j_g_parker   wrote this earlier in this thread.   i haven't heard any one else even mention this.  
 if this is true..........i can see no reason why this thread even exsists.     i currently don't use fsuipc,  but recently downloaded roger wilco(  for free )  and i'm personally going to pay the man.        
   but if it is true........ that the free version of pete's program has all the functionality needed to run the add-on's   that are "dependent" on fsuipc,  then those of us in this community that persecute pete for selling the extra's should have a hard time looking in a mirror.

Well i think Pete should be rewarded for his efforts.but 20$ for a program thats less than 2MB in size.i think thats a little steap.more like payware robbery or the queens ransom if you ask me.ill pass Petes program on to someone elese.ive been useing fs9 since it hit the shelves and i havent needed it yet.and to those that like to fly online with real ATC you dont need petes program like with vatsim.net just go to eskyworld.com less to download and run = more system resorces for running fs9.just get teamspeak sighn up login and fly.and to get the fssound.dll to work in fs9 with out haveing to buy petes program Put this entry in your FS9.cfg file and it will work.
[OLDMODULES]
FSSound.dll=1
so it looks to me its just dollars and sence if you need it buy it.if you dont need it buy something you need more.as for myself i dont think its something i halft to have to enjoy fs9 any more than i allready do.and the tip for the day is gang check out the freeware section before the payware section.that is if your not mad at your money.cause those freeware guys and gals are working just as hard as pete and some other payware programers.lets remember to send a big thank you to those giveing us freeware.to some that would mean more than money just to hear a big thanks for there hard work and effort.

Can anyone please tell me how to get the radar scope to "scope" in the F16? I've tried the replacement program for FSUIPC but am unable to even tell if it is running. Thanks for any possible help.  ::)

keep track of changes on the following site http://emarciano.flightsimmer.com/

It's dirty business.

You don't release a program for free, then realize it's a hit so you start charging for it.

If you're going to be a commercial developer, you're going to have to take the wins with the losses.  Release it payware from day one.  If it fails, so be it.  That's called risk, and it's an inherent part of any business.

Shame on Pete Dowson for not having the courage to take such a risk.

[X56SB]

so does this program cost money or is it free?

Hi,

Maybe this is old news...........

Found a discussion that Pete is using to assist simmers use the free version of FSUIPC.

http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?t=10812&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I only use FSUIPC for AFCAD, so didnt dig in to far, but appears he is providing keys for many freeware addons, both new and old..

As a service to FSUIPC users who don't want to pay for FSUIPC because they have no use for its main facilities, I am starting this "registry" of Freeware access keys.

Might be worth a read.

Cheers,
Dave
