  1. YOU HIT SHIFT F-12? OMG......RUN, YOUR COMPUTER IS GOING TO SELF DESTRUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. I was throwing that at there for general public knowledge, in case someone was thinking that. I wasn't implying you were thinking that. As far as my slight dectection of animosity, if you say you weren't then that is good enough for me. You did touch on a touchy subject because the bottom line is that people are used to getting things for free in this community. When that changes, then we get threads like this one. If we had all been payware from the beginning, then I doubt this would of even been an issue. My suggestion to EVERYONE on payware is, 1. If you don't want to buy it, then fine. That is your choice. 2. Please treat the payware people here at CA with the same amount of respect you give freeware modders. 3. Try not to stir the pot about the freeware vs payware thing because the site owners fully support all of it. It would look bad if people were bad mouthing the subject when this very site is helping them. I'm not saying it can not be talked about though. Just exercise good judgement when doing so. All I'm asking. This has been a good thread, so no hurt feelings here.
  3. Patches are here at CA. In the SF2 section.
  4. Eric Oh you mean YAP..... well since Diego and Crab_02 left, you arent the first person to report that kind of shoddy QA and customer service. But hey that's YAP for yeah, he is right and the customer is wrong.

  13. Flight Simmers and their books

    Dave replied to Sakai's topic in The Pub

    Here are just some of mine within arms reach of my computer desk.
  14. * Save mission button has been added to the Debriefing screen. OH YEAH!
  15. Diego brings up a good point, you know that Desert Storm mod, you are enjoying Dogzero1, that cost me and another member about $200 worth of research material and decals to scan so we would have the correct markings for aircraft. I am working on the F-15 Baz with a team and I have spent $140 on books just for that mod that is coming out soon. Just so you can get it for free. So I think its not much to ask if someone wants some money for their time.
  16. I detect a hint of animosity or spite in your post. As if the payware guys are bad. They aren't, a couple of them were pioneers of this series and they should be thanked for blazing the trail for the other modders. Crab_02 and Diego have been here since 2002 when we all started. Their knowledge is used by the modders today. Razbam has set a new standard in cockpits alone, that others follow. Oh and all of them have given away plenty of free stuff. Its a fine line you walk when people seem to have a "I am not going to buy payware." stance. As I said CombatAce fully supports payware or we wouldn't have Razbam's and Overkill forums and or sites hosted here. So give them credit and not sell them short. For the record I do not get any free products them, I do pay for their mods and can show you the receipts if you so desire.
  17. ?
  18. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. If you aren't buying something payware then you are missing out. You just do not know what you are missing and if you can buy a beer, you can buy a payware plane. You might actually like it.
  20. Right here at CombatAce There is a link at the top too...
  21. Ok that is freakin' funny.
  22. Overkill by Diego and team.
  23. Incredible.......
  24. It is their choice and I fully support payware (just not all the douche bags who do it, but that is another story) I have bought many a payware item and have not regretted it. One reason I do know is that it takes hundreds of man hours to create a plane for example. Some people would like to be compensated for their time. Nothing wrong with that. These guys are artists. Just like a fine painting. I have committed 8 years to this sim and I have kicked around the idea of payware a few times. Time = money to some and I fully support their right sell their items. To answer your question, yes there is a market for payware. Razbam's stuff is a fine example. Diego's O-1E Bird dogs are just fantastic and worth the small price you have to pay for them. The items created by Diego, Kess, Crab_02 for YAP1 was worth every dime. The problem is that the community has been so used to getting things for free, that they feel insulted at the possibility of having to pay for a mod and that is a terrible mindset. If you do not want to buy it, then fine, but blanket statements saying " I will never buy payware." is unfair. Some of you will spend more on beer tonight then fork a couple bucks on payware. Their is great payware out there and some of you are missing out big time. CombatAce fully supports payware and its creators.
  25. Create a terrains folder. Put the IsraelME file in there with my edits. Then edit the options.ini and you are set.
