here here

Ok here goes.Maybe I was a little harsh with the terminology I used but I'm not to far from the mark here.Bort has a history of being OVERLY thin skined.I pointed it out.Maybe I shouldn't have in an open forum,thats my own issue and If somone has a way to reach bort I'll be perfectly happy to say that I was out of line in my use of words and the venue i used to say them but the underlying messege is still valid.He makes his models for himself(as I do with my skins)but if somone brings up an error or gives me a hint how I can inprove things I don't pull my stuff and trash them on my site.He did recieve some bashing but no more and prob less than I have seen others get.Indio your right in some ways and I was overly heated when I posted,about many things, some not First eagle related.As for the A-team I have never had a beef with them and if i did I would bring it up.Maybe with little more tact this time around but I'll always speak my mind.I have no hard feeling towards anyone here wether involed in this situation or not.

"but atleast they make the effort." And for that i am very greatful.

I agre with you Dagger and also appologize for my semi-rants.I would never argue anyones right to do anything they wanted with their site or models.If combatace decided to close up shop tomorrow I would be very sad but I wouldn't flame you guys.The issue I had was his rantings and acusations that were in general false. from his site, "there you go as i said this site closed by democratic community request...why is the community whining about the fact that i have actually done as requested??..or did the community not expect that to happen??...and if not what is this community you speak of and what exactly does it expect??...the community gets what the community wants..isn't that what it's all about?? you can thank me later... " as far as I remember no one ever wanted him to stop his work or close up shop.that was his decision and his alone.He just seems to blam everyone else for all his problems and I got sick of it.I was a supporter of his untill the rants and such started on his blog.I accepted his work for what it was and never said anything but good about it.I just had an issue with the way he handled the community rather than the communities treatment of him.I'm sorry dagger for going off and i'll drop it as of now. On a side note Dagger your a truck driver by trade?Are you Indipendent or do you drive for a line?My father drove for Global/Allied for 30+ years.

I'm glad no one was killed.I also hope that traffic isn't an issue for you in the near future,that sounds like it's gonna be a mess for a while.

very cool plane and skin.Thanks guys.

"Anytime you place yourself or your work in front of the public you must be prepared to endure criticism, either the positive or the negative kind. Rightly or wrongly, that's just the way it is. If you cannot, then it's best not to enter the arena." Amen

"please don't attack Bort for no longer wishing to allow you the privilege of downloading his work. That's his right. " I would never question anyone's right to do what ever they want with their stuff.the thing I can do is call it like I see it and what I see is someone acting like a baby.He wasn't being picked on in an unfair manner. I have been criticized(rightly so) for the work I have done and never once did I cry about it. I flied away the BS and used the rest to improve my work.Most "artist" types tend to be rather thin skinned,I guess it goes with the territory,but a small few just can't take any sort of heat at all.It's the privileged mentality that really eats at most people.Look what I can do and if you don't like it I'll just have to remove my great stuff.LOL.I could care less as I don't have a dog in this fight really. I liked Borts stuff.I enjoyed his planes for years and gave praise where it was due and usually kept my mouth shut otherwise.But the whole crybaby stuff is the part I have issue with.If you have been to his blog all he has done for the last month or so is cry and whine about every perceived injustice that the community has done to him.Som one wants to make a skin for my planes,they must not like the ones that came with them,there fore I'll get upset at this injustice.and so on and so on.he criticized others works just as much as his were but doesn't seem to think that there is anything wrong with that. I'm done with this whole issue unless someone else brings it up.If Bort want to "man up" and return to the community I'll be the first to welcome him back he had much talent and his style was unique.Im sure what will really happen is he'll come back at some point and have a list of everyone who has "wronged" him and not let anyone of them into his little playhouse.

I loved a lot of his stuff and use it alot but he was one of those guys that no matter how constructive it was critisism was somthing he couldn't stomach.He got some mean spirited coments for sure but no more and probobly a lot less than most.his I'll take my toys and leave mentality was rather childish to be honest.I wish he would come back too.as stated I had nothing but respect for his work but to run and hide when he didn't get unconditional praise for everything he did was rather pathetic. Bort if your reading this I have enjoyed your models going back to the old CFS2 days.I enjoyed them for what they were and appreciated them but nothing is ever perfect including your work and to run away because a flaw was exposed or somone wanted to improve a flight model just rubs most people the wrong way.to punish the whole community like some spoiled brat just gives more ammo to your critics.

Great stuff....as usual.It's great to have you back here at work.

leg is still weak in some ways but i biked 16 miles on it monday and another 4 yesterday.I'm hoping to get my leg ready for one final season.I have till July 7th to get ready.Thanks for the info.

well i figure if enough planes are available for the Italian/Austrian air forces some kind soul will be inspired to make some terrain to fly them over.And a campaign wouldn't be far behind.

I have one question.Is there a way to make the sam sites have all the same type of missile?In lots of cases I get a mix of SA-2 SA-3 and SA-6 in the same battery.

Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,Thank you! Anything Austro-Hungarian you(or anyone else)makes is allright by me.It will be great dog fighting over the Alps with it when it's finished.

Very cool,Thank you

well is it lite or isn't it?I'm on a restricted caloric intake and jenny craig is bitchin at me that I need to drop some inches.If the game isn't lite i fear Richard Simmons will show up at my door in a flight suit and start crying about my plight.

i think a C-123 is being made for the excellent addon "Yankee air Pirate" "i will start to make some cargos like C-5 and Il-76... " Please do we need more transports.
