Whatever happened

[Atreides 144]

To Gerald's MIG-21 FINAL pack ? When I clicked on the link for downloading from the file annoucement's section, it say's the link was removed ?

[+Dave 2,319]

it was pulled, because he included core games filesagain. i.e. the LOD's. After he had been told not to on a few occasions.

A shame. A very good package with good ideas

[Mladuna 0]

That sucks. Well rules are rules. There's some chance he creates another one whit out those files (and one that works without them)?

[Atreides 144]

Pity. That truly suck's, couldn't have happened at a worse time, had to format my HD because XP was corrupted beyond repair couldn't even back up anything, now I'm a few Mig's poorer

[+Jarhead1 27]

If the LODS were excluded then they might be able to let him re upload it

[+Viggen 523]

You didn't ban him did you? I needed him to help me with a MiG-35 mod.

[+Jarhead1 27]

Did who ban him? Me? I am not a Moderator, or do u mean USAFMTL?

He's definitely not banned. He's prolly just busy with real life...

I don't understand ..yes I'm Brainless but why was including these LOD files a problem ( serious question here)?

[Guest Saganuay82]

The lod files are core game files that were included in a purchased game. They are not something that you post up. Now if you have purchased the game and it already has the lods for the aircraft model in it, then all you need is the inis and paint. There is no need to upload the lods.

.Whatever happened...

 

....to Randolph Scott?

....to Randolph Scott?

Good one But I'm not old enough to know who he was, had to search IMDB for him.

It was one of the Packs I was trying to upload and they had the LODs. Plus it was a package that some send to me that had

the LODs. So I made the mod from that and forgot to remove them. So mistakes are mistakes.

[+NeverEnough 78]

Hey gerald14, glad to see you're still in the game! Really appreciate your efforts and contributions.

[Wrench 9,635]

don't you guys worry, Gerald is pretty good at fixing things. And mistakes DO get made, which is why we moderators sit in our heavily armoured, fully armed and operational orbital battle station...

 

Besides, you'd do it for Randolph Scott!!!

Oh..I think I sort of see. Does duplicating LOD's cause a problem then or is it a copyright issue?
