There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The costs of offering what you suggest is extremely prohibitive.:isadizzy:
I bought the Liberty XL for some of its gauges and found out the hard way. I will have to be very careful on exactly what I want to do with the aircraft before spending on another Eaglesoft product.

Well we do build integrated packages gentlemen.
I'm unsure about other developers but do expect that they have the same policy.
Imagine trying to remove the avionics from a Flight One ATR and use them in another vendors freeware aircraft for example.:isadizzy:
There is nothing wrong with that as long as both aircrafts reside in my HDD and my HDD alone, and both are obtained legally.
I can buy 2 different cars and interchange their parts. I can no longer expect warranty support after that, but there is no law against it. If car company A makes their part to stop working just because it is used in car B, it is their right but that would be the last time company A get a cent out of my wallet.
Fortunately, not all developers share the same policy and I know which developers I shall gladly do business with. At the end of the day, it is about value, as perceived by the customer, not the seller.

So, so true!
This applies in any product or service. Flight sim addons are no exception. Especially as the price rises.

I did not imply there was something wrong or illegal about the practice...
I well remember doing the same thing when I first began flightsimulation.
I've come to realize that a fully integrated package is much more enjoyable [read reliable and bug free] for me personally so that is my take on user perceived value.
Of course the other side of that coin is that some do weird stuff with avionics that should remain in the original aircraft then show up in forums asking support for what they broke.:isadizzy:
If your purchase criteria includes the ability to strip out avionics for personal use in other aircraft for personal use then so be it.
In our case the SR20, SR22, and SR22 Turbo Avidynes are specific to each aircraft and true to the real thing.
What that means is that users cannot take SR22 Turbo Avidyne and place it in some freeware SR20 and receive support when it doesn't work well.

I believe we both agree on 2 points: Ripping is for personal use only, and do not expect support from developer when something screws up. :ernae:

Yes the C400 "Portrait" Avidynes have an Engine Page which contains TIT and other C400 specific features.:mixedsmi:
Chad: Doing well, thanks. Good to see you here this day as well. Saw that Nick finally got his
black repaint with the bunny on her tail, heh. Good on him! Hoping all is well with you.

We like both and would start with Cirrus and then get the Columbia 400.
Yeah, saw that too.
Still flying that stang?
All is well up here considering current affairs. Take care bud.

No other rational than personal preference I suppose.:mixedsmi:
Excellent choice! I actually enjoy both so can't think of a reason to not own both...
