Pretty sure most know Francois Dumas.

The other day we discovered a problem. I tried to make a purchase on his new website , as he had to change it when he moved to Italy.

Seems Internet there is horriable. Anyhow. he can no longer upload to his store . So. That puts him like out of business.

He can get Sat. Internet, but the equipment is expensive, and alas the wife said no on that... LOL Imagine that.

We are trying to help him out as he has added a "Donate Button" to his site .

If ya can, please help . he has spent endless years and time and resorses helping us all out.

Even a buck if thats all that ya got is cool

Thanks from Francois I am sure.

Geeez, thanks Mason.... and THANK YOU who contributed !!!

I hate ASKING..... been self supporting and independent my entire life... but right now I am hitting a wall here. It is because of dwindling income from the FS products, because of the bad infrastructure here in rural Italy... but basically it all started with being FORCED to change my shop and websites by the European Union's ridiculous new tax measures. Now ALL of our existing products are gone too (except from simMarket etc., but that means earning even less!).

I've explained it on my website..... http://fssupport.com/fsaddon/?page_id=2610

MANY THANKS to all support, even moral :)

(And 'uploading' to the shop is just one problem, I regularly upload and download files with my authors during development, THAT is gone too currently.)

Simon and I currently have FOUR aircraft on the drawing board..... two of which are freeware....... !!

why not just get someone to upload for him
Click to expand...

I'd have to burn things on a DVD, send it my mail, have it uploaded.... would work only for finished work, so stop-gap solution. Looking into it. But I need to be able to up- and download stuff that's under development almost every day. :dizzy:
 
Do you have mobile phone access? Maybe internet access over a 3G / 4G router would be not as costly as a satellite solution.

Cheers,
Mark
 
Where do you live Francois? If Telecom or Fastweb ADSL lines are too expensive you can try to look for internet via wi-max such as Siportal or, as suggested, with mobile operators. The quality is not excellent, but probably it can be enough for your needs.
 
Thanks all !!!

As for other 'access'...... I tried 3G first, but we're in between two antenna masts and I cannot get past 0.7 - 0.8 with the router and receiver put in the attic (highest point). Tried.... failed....

We don't have a fixed line to the house, so ADSL is 'out' too.....

So currently I am stuck to radio internet.... but they don't offer more than 0.5 mbps upload and usually it is less..... hence the problems.
 
Thank you everybody.....so many generous people around in this hobby !! Every penny helps approaching my goal to replace the radio internet with satellite internet..... and lets just hope that once installed THAT will do the trick !!! :dizzy:
 
The SOH crowd is the best !!! Thank you all for reaching out !! :applause::applause::wavey: I can't tell you how much this means for me..... now, back to work with Simon....
