Fsx Native DH-88 Comet !

Craig just told me he is going to recompile the installer so that the Fs9 Comet is required to get the FsX version working, and than he will re-upload it.

Perhaps it would have been better if the default Fs9 Comet was required to get the FsX version to work (Gauges panel, sounds, perhaps even the aircraft.cfg). . . . .

Ahhh, there ya go Ferry_vO. . .that would put the stamp of "legitimacy" on piracy and everyone would be happy then, lol, by the way, I'm not being a SA about your comment, just expanding on what the mindset seems to be here, which is "OMG, he's taken an airplane that was useless in FSX and made it better and then. . . ."made it available to everyone". Therein lies the problem. . .he went and opened his big mouth and let everyone know what he did, lol, lol. Sorry Craig, that was just to make a point. . .

So every individual who has FS9 can take the Comet, do some of the normal portover changes necessary to get it to work in FSX (Which I did for the England to Melbourne Race) and life goes on. But someone goes a bit further in updating and refining to have it work in FSX and then makes it available for download and the world stops spinning and he's labeled a pirate of the worst kind.

Sorry, Craig did a great thing, I appreciate his making it available to those who appreciate his efforts and shame on Microsoft for not making what was a very popular "default" airplane also available for the next generation Sim that is "X".
 
Thanks alot Craig! Awesome job on this.

Anyone know if Craig plans on converting the Vega, Tri Motor, and maybe a few more of the cool default fs9 planes? Spirit of St Louis etc.

Seems that this new way of doing this installer everyone is cool with it now? and he may continue to bring us the rest of the default planes now? :applause:
 
So Craig is going to change all the work he did, not because of Microsoft, not because of lawyers but because of us, the flight sim community ?

Great work chaps ! Are we really helping ourselves here ?

I am lucky I have already downloaded it. I couldn't be bothered to dig out my FS9 game and search one of 4 discs to find the original plane.

If I was Craig, I would keep any further works to my self for my pleasure only.
 
yes, very happy guzler, its that slight change that changes it from full on potential piracy to just a grey area of the law.

PS,
The best example i could think of is this

"I AM GOING TO MAKE LIONHEARTS KODIAK AVAILIBLE FOR FREE ON MY PERSONAL NONE A2A WEBSITE,...

...Ill just 'trust' you guys that you paid for it previously :mixedsmi:"

And thats it, end off. The chaps expressing concern like myself are not nazis, were not EULA red tape numpties, we just
a) dont want this site to look bad (this legal issue isnt only raised here by us)
b) expressed concern for Criag who did the conversion and wished to make him aware so that changes could be made or he is aware of ramifications

Owning a valid copy of FS9 is a satisfiable enough hoop to jump through, IMHO.
I too would very much like to see the Vega and Tri-Motor go FSX native.
The ports are just not the same.

Thank you for all that you are doing, Craig! :guinness:

Nothing that couldn't have been done better by private messages or e-mails eh Lewis?
 
Roger, this entire forum, as any other, could be achieved with pm's or emails.

The forum allows open discussion, with multiple inputs, from multiple users.

With hindsight it would have been better to do this with a pm, but thats the trouble with hindsight, ...and roger with hindsight would you admit that we were right to voice concerns given the examples and reasons we have provided?
 
I thought the forums were for heads up on new products, constructive citicism and generally expressing the love we all have for FsX...not semantics and laboured points of possible legal infractions. If you really only wanted to warn Craig you'd have kept it to messages or e-mails. This constant barrage smacks of something else.

I get what you're trying to say.
However there's a difference here. A MAJOR difference:
- if you make the Kodiac available, that means that people who never gave any money to Lionheart will be able to get the plane, and Lionheart won't get a single penny.
- if somebody makes the default Comet available, people will need FSX in order to see it, so Microsoft gets the money, not like Lionheart.
See the difference ?

so what are people supposed to do who missed the original link ? like me for example?

I won't even suggest the possibilities there but only say that without the original download, you'll have to go with what has been dealt here. . .I don't agree, but I am the minority.:salute:
