hell yeah! F-16XL!!!! SWEET!

Oh dude....joygasm!!!! Thanks for the screenshots. Do you take payment plans? The "moral" comment was way out of line and border line retarded. I was rather proud of the fact that we were having a spirited, yet civil conversation about something and then that comment happened. I am a free mod guy. I give my stuff away for anyone who wants to use it and all I ask is that they come to me and ask me if they want to include it or release a modified version of it. That is ALL I ask of people who download my things. Hell, if one of the pay mod guys wanted to download my skins, I say more power to ya man! Just more people to enjoy my hobby with. I understand I am very lucky to not have to pay for server costs because of guys like Erik and all the CombatAce crew. I also understand that servers can get expensive, especially with people downloading files, sucking up precious bandwidth....so what better way to recoup the costs than charge for the very file that is being downloaded, wasting that bandwidth. Morals has absolutely nothing to do with it, so leave em at the door.

Did I mention that I love you guys? (obligatory shout out to the most awesomest host in all of servertopia)

Yeah, I have to agree with Russ on that....it isn't the whole payware thing that gets my goat, it's the way this one was presented. Take Prowler's stuff for example, he has always been payware...so it is easier to swallow. When you see a "Coming Soon" screenshot from him, you know it is payware and his stuff is priced (at least IMO) fairly. When you look at the price for the terrains, it is a tough pill to swallow. Granted, I am sure a lot of work went into them...but 15 bucks worth? Especially considering you can get a pack of new aircraft models with multiple variations for less. If these were priced appropriately, I would probably be crashing into that new terrain right now. That said, if Prowler ever decides to bring over his Skyhawks packs, I am first in line for those (hint hint). I have been dying for a two seater Scooter since day 1

Ahhhh.....can you feel the love? BTW....your check is in the mail And USAFMTL is right....this is a civil conversation, just people airing out different opinions. THAT is what seperates this community from the guys over at SHQ. I haven't seen one person call someone a doo doo head once!

For the record....I want it known that this in no way reflects how I feel about the users in question....Please do not take my words as a personal attack against Razbam or Edward, they are no more than personal opinions voiced in a public forum. I have never had dealings with them and would never blatantly attack anyone because of their methods of distribution.

To me, it is the whole idea of payware I have a problem. The bottom line is this is a user made mod. This isn't something that I can go down to the software shop and buy in a box, that was made by a professional company. Why should I bust my ass making mods and give them away for free while Joe Schmoe down the street is making 15 bucks per? It doesn't make sense. In my opinion, payware has no place in a community like this. You mod it because you want to...because you want to improve it. I have been into modding for 10 years now, starting painting cars for Grand Prix 2 and then mapping Unreal Tournament and making full blown mods in EA's F1 series before making WoE my home. The thought never once crossed my mind to sell my mods. The day I sell a mod is the day I stop modding.

Yeah, I was having that problem too....I tried out WoE on my new LCD TV and when I switched it back it crashed....after changing the res back to a 4.3 ratio res it worked fine

Yo

Yeah, it's all Vista's fault....I think Vista might be responsible for Jimmy Hoffa too. I didn't realize how bad Vista was until this last thursday. I live about 10 minutes from the Microsoft campus...one of my neighbors is a long time MS employee. We went golfing thursday and I found out he was on the OS team for 15 years and when he found out some of the things they were planning with Vista, he told his team lead where he could stick it and left the team. He now works for the Office '07 team. He said Vista crashes the work machines at Microsoft all the time. He won't even install it on his own computers at home. I think his exact words to describe Vista were "Steaming pile of ****"

Agreed. 15 bucks is way to much for each of these. I have already paid close to 100 bucks with SFP1, WoV and WoE, now I need to spend another 45 bucks just to get some decent terrain? Maybe I need to start charging a couple bucks per skin just to break even....I need to get a third job just to catch up with all this YAP and Razbam stuff....it's getting ridiculious.

DING DING DING!!!! We have a winner! That is exactly what you do. With the right compression, I can turn my 15 gig installation into a 4 gig .7z file, burn it to a DVD-R and then keep it should anything go wrong. Then, if something blows up and the original doesn't work all I have to do is unpack the files from the disk and I am back to where I was two weeks ago, rather than starting from scratch.

As goofy as it sounds, I actually backup my WoV/E installations when I install it. So I have a clean fresh working install waiting on a DVD-R just in case. I will also rar up the entire directory and burn it to disk every 3 months. I have been modding way to long to know if you keep adding and changing things, eventually something will foul up somewhere.

Never had a problem with Sparrows..... Besides them missing sometimes. Just switch radar to boresight mode, get a radar lock, and let 'er rip

deadly cobra kai trained midget ninja assassin team go!

You can ask, but if we tell you we would have to dispatch a top secret lethal team of deadly cobra kai trained midget ninja assassins armed with robot lazer arms to make sure the secret never got out. And frankly, you don't want that to happen. I saw it happen to a guy in Tokipsee one time....when they were done, his private parts were up to his shoulders and his shoulders were down by his butt....and his arms and legs looked like those big soft pretzels.......very ugly. So....still want to know?

you need to get some new tools, son!

Did you say "Paint"? As in "MS Paint"?

Wait for Wedge to make a head on pass and blow up the TIE Fighter.....oops...I mean SU on your tail?

Why are we bumping 2 hours apart? (Moderator mode on) Please do not bump threads for the sake of bumping threads. 2 hours between bumps in excessive. (Moderator mode off) Carry on

It's kind of like 7-11s....No one ever sees a 7-11 being built...just one day Poof! there is a 7-11 with slurpee goodness...like some bizare chemical reaction.

It is a sign! The apocalypse is nigh!!!! Oh the fire and the brimstone! Oh the...wait...did you say six legged cow? Damn freak! Let's eat the damned freaked thing!!!!

See the light!

No thanks.
