Erik brings up a good point, all the books, dvd's and videos I have bought for research, decals I bought for scanning to get a high quality look to the skins, better computers to take my modding to the next level. So yeah my mods are payware in the end. As in I paid for them. So its 6 in one hand, 1/2 dozen in another. I say we just drop this whole thing, enjoy then benefits both payware and freeware and have fun. And that is all I have to say about that.

I hear yeah Russ and thank you for explaining . Your contributions have always been appraicated and always will be. Looking forward to your Bucc.

I do know that site does work because I downloaded a bunch of his skins the other day.

No I think his bandwidth for the month got used up. I am going to contact him and see if CA can help him with that problem.

Spec Yeah I got pics of the 262. I just uploaded it. Jedi It was about 612.

That'll be the day......

Yes TK says he has no problem with payware. As far as the RAZBAM forums are concerned, I just help out anyone with SF questions. I am not making any money or selling anything. I am a technical advisor. I mean really Russ, known you for years why does this chap your ass so much? Its not hurting you and your creativity at all. I would even buy from you if you went payware. This system works for MSFS and even though we are smaller than them, it is still a choice whether to buy or not to buy. Its really not as a big a deal as you think. Its all about choices. But make no mistake, I am purely freeware have been since 1998 when I started modding.

Ini files are not copyrighted, TK said that is part of the open structure and doesnt mind them being used. He just has issues with core game files.

There is a thread about it somewhere. Do a search for it. I am looking now if I find it I will post it.

You would have to extract it using the cat extractor. Or wait 3 hours (on duty) and PM with an email address and I will send you mine.

@ Sky Captain Oh now you have to start the crap slinging.....poo poo face......

Once you have added squadrons to the ini you have to put it in your PilotData folder. Then the sim will read it. I have an extensive squadronlst file and it works fine. Also when adding squadrons to a campaign it is highly recommended you have it match the campaign entries and what you listed in the squadronlst file, despite what jtin says. It will make the campaign run smoother. Not that I haven't built a campaign or 2 for the sim.

As usual Zur, it's pure crap.... Can't wait to fly it.

Payware and freeware have their place in this community. You DO NOT have to buy any of it, you do not have to like it either. But you will not get on the asses of the people who are making mods and selling them. Period. The community has gotten so used to freebies that they can't get over the payware thing. Well get over it. It is not taking money out of your pocket. Why is this even an issue? If you were being forced to buy it then you can whine, but you are not. Some people had the forethought to take this to the next level. Good on them. I do think Edward should of told everyone sooner it was going to be payware. Even I thought it was going to be freeware. But he didn't. So deal with it. YAP is working fine, RAZBAM is working fine. There has been no issues with them being payware for months. So press on, and have a nice day. Sheesh......all this hub bub over a game......once again we are our own worst enemy.
