Henry -Forgive me one moment about source files

When I was made aware that source files were available (potentially) on how to create new scenery I was ecstatic. Finally someone could teach me and others the very complex process of making a new theater. From my perspective all I wanted to do is learn from someone who made these add ons so I too could make a few new theaters.

For whatever reason this became misunderstood and took on a life of its own and some how I feel my integrity has been maligned.

What a shame.

Good bye and farewell.
 
Please don't leave this site.Your work here brings so much excitement and is so very much enjoyable.....it would break my heart.
 
Ted

I appreciate your point of view and I am sorry to hear that you have decided to leave the community. I hope you and others who are considering or have also made the same decision will reconsider.

IMHO there is or there never has been any question about your integrity, nor that of Steve's in the purpose of obtaining Ed's source files so that you would be able to learn how to create new theaters.

I think it is a real shame that Ed's investment in time and effort has now been lost. His work which was a part of the files that were transmitted to Steve was made a toxic asset to have by a few words.

An apology to both you and Steve I do believe is in order.
 
Ted, from reading through what happened yesterday, I do not believe for one minute that your integrity was in question.

There has already been one decision taken without due thought and consideration for what was really being said; it would be a shame if this were to be another.

Please take the time to rethink your position - we would miss you, whatever your contributions may or may not be.
 
Ditto to all the replys, We need you to stay.

"To err is human; to forgive divine"

Reconsider. we cannot lose you.

:kilroy:Ted,

I have to agree with every statement here so far. At this point, there may be a hundred reasons to leave. Please stay anyway. We really appreciate your work. You have done many good things here.:d
 
Hi Ted
I always admired the work You made and I can't think of CFS3 w/o your wonderful models.
Please reconsider your choice and stay with the Team.
I also prey You to go to the private forum and to read what I wrote there...... and to agree with my suggestions if possible for You.
Many thanks for all what You did for the community and, I hope, for what You will do.
Have the best and take the right decision.
Cheers my Friend and have always good flying wherever You may go.

after all youve done , all youve seen , and all youve created , why leave , like war there will be statements out of context and at times , out of the world . i feel the true meaning for you and your work is in your understanding of man - yes mankind throughout history .


as a result i feel you must stay and move on with the odd misplaced , comment if there was one , or alike, and be the one you are .


stay cont.... and fight the long battle of memories of those to be kept alive .

Ted, don't let the remarks of a couple individuals send you packing. Those people that typically spout off, are also the ones that typically offer the community nothing but criticism. Their the ones we would prefer to see leaving this forum. Stand your ground cuz you have nuthing but respect from all of us.
 
Ted, mate having worked with you on several projects, I have found you to be nothing but honourable and generous. Anyone who knows you doesn't doubt your integrity. Forums are places where misunderstandings are all too common (as I know to my cost), and some people don't think before they type. There are many of us who will seriously regret your departure as your enthusiasm for this old sim inspires those who become a bit jaded with it. I for one will miss working with you.

Although I generally try to steer clear of discussions like the one that has been going on about 'the source files', I know how you feel Ted. After reading all the posts this morning, I went to work rather pissed. All this talk about "controlling the world of CFS3", "source file rape" and the other negative sh*t when it comes to doing someting for the community, whether it is for ETO, MAW, PTO or any other combination of letters, strongly makes me feel like throwing in the towel myself. Why the *BEEP* am I sitting all these hours in front of my PC when I could be doing lots of other interesting things?? The sun finally is shining outside, for crying out loud!

Apparently there are people who feel that the process of trying to learn from others or lifting CFS3 (or any mod) to a different level, is sacrilege. I do respect that some are trying to protect their work and rights - no probs here - but the negativity with which the news of Ed's DVDs was met, is simply stunning and unworthy of this community.
Personally I was never interested in obtaining anyone's work in particular, but more like you, Ted, I was interested in the "how to". I simply wanted to learn more.

I haven't taken a final position on whether I will continue doing something for the community or not but I do want to say that I find some comments on the ETO effort - intended or not - truely hurtful.

Thanks a lot - NOT!!!

well said.

Ted, you will really miss to the community.
 
A lot happens in 24 hours. I went to bed last night with some complaints about effects and extensions to MAW starting to buzz and after a pleasant day out looking at aircraft and cockpit instrument layouts for modelling, I look back to find a man's work on CFS3 theatres has been destroyed and another highly respected modeller is saying goodbye.

I'm speechless.

The one throws a bomb into the room not thinking... not caring...
another fires for effect and the bullets find their mark... and then some.

Meanwhile has anyone seen Little Red Riding hood?
 
Ted,

I don't know if you would want it or not but when I first received the DVDs I had sorted thru them and copied off the Solomons terrain work that Ed had done and saved it on a DVD to mail to Bob. There is not much on it, only Ed's theatre development along with some palm trees from the ACC group (God Bless them) and a couple of Korean Houses. There are no aircraft or any other items.

It is all that is left and since it does not involve anyone except the Solomons Development team and the property of Clive and his boys I would be glad to pass it on to you. It may be helpful to see how Ed built Solomons.

Thank God I overlooked it when the other DVDs were deleted. There is nothing left of anything remotely associated with the MAW Theatre.

Let me know, and please consider this a bribe.

Steve
