For all of you Mirage fans out there like me, there is a new Atlas Denel Cheetah D by Johan Jacobs of JDS Models based in South Africa. There are 2 seperate paint schemes by Brent Best and 2 different model configurations for both, "clean" and "with assorted loadouts".
The model comes with a supurb 2D Panel and VC with XML gauge programming by Thinus Pretorius.

I've always been a "Cheetah" fan.

Claudius, this is NOT directed at you, so no worries on your part. I appreciate you providing the information regarding access to the download for the Cheetah D model.

Membership at FSWorld is free... just as membership here at the SOH is free. While I respect the concerns that some of you may have regarding "registration for membership", I thought having the Cheetah D model was worth registering for... and now I'm flying it. I learned about the model from another very reputable flight sim website.

I reckon if you want the Cheetah D model, go and get it, if not, then dont. Any freeware for FS9, I consider as a gift from those developers that still take the time to create their artwork for that sim.

LOL... I gotta admit, I have probably done that to a few obscure sites here and there... but it was nothing malicious, just that over time, I just lost interest.

Hi All,

I am also a Mirage fan. I have d/l'ed the "D" but when I go to use the installer, my Norton anti-virus, specifically the SONAR function auto deletes the file citing suspicious activity noted. I can disable SONAR but am leary of any problems. Any input appreciated.

Cheers
Hank
 
Well if not at Claudius may be it was directed at my comment. I understand that the registration is free, but like most it will require an e-mail address to sign up and potentially more unwanted e-mail. I am not implying that this particular site does anything bad....but I prefer to err on the side of caution.

I very much appreciate all the work freeware developers give us. Including this Mirage in my hangar would be nice, but since it is not my usual round engined, piston powered fare I can at least for now pass if it requires yet another sign up.

That's really not a problem of mail.
Never use your private email account for register any forums. :)
In 2 minutes you can make a hotmail or Gmail account (hotmail.com gmail.com) and register with this mail adresse.
After download you can forget this mail and registration :)

Norton parano crisis :)

I am using AVG 2011 and I had no probs with the installer. I always run installers to a temp folder and scan them manually just to be sure.


As far as registering to another website is concerned, Claudius is right, I apologise for being so "blunt" as it were, but I get a little "on edge", now and again if I feel people want to criticise freeware. I'm sorry Stefan, it's nothing personal.

No worries BB686, I did not particularly like the "not directed at you...." part of your post since I prefer being addressed directly but I understand your motive behind it.
Being involved with Manfreds Team Constellation project I have learned that people do sometimes have a weird sense of entitlement with something they got for free.
99% of the time my tech-support then found that a simple **** would have solved all their "problems"

Thanks for the reminder on the SPAM e-mail....i think i still have a yahoo account open i can use for that.

Hi There,
It is with mixed feelings that I've read through this post. First, a happy feeling to see that there are actually people who have downloaded my Cheetah D, and enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind words, and as long as you are enjoying it, it make it all worth the while.
Secondly, and sadly, people complaining about the fact they need to register to download the model.
Now I have to explain a few things:
A) There are numerous reasons that you need to register in order to download the model, and one that really stand out is the fact that there is some control over who download the model. One freeware developer told me the other day, he found some of his models on addon DVD's that is for sale. a Bit unfair, don't you think?
Also, the support forum for that model is on the site, and once registered, it is easy to get support, and give feedback.
FSWorld is my site, and our policy is to be friendly and kind to anyone, and although we are a small forum, we really are like a family. Notice that there is no adds on the forum, unlike other forums,although it cost money to run a site. I want to keep it clean.
It is not our intent to get more members by registering to download.

B) The installer I've used is the one used by many developers, Clickteam Install Creator. The reason I used this installer, is that I wanted to make the installation as easy as possible for anyone. When installing, it also states that should you want to do a manual installation, you can simply install to a temp folder, and then do a manual installation. So, best for both.
When I first run Clickteam, my antivirus ( at the time CA Antivirus) picked up the Clickteam program as a thread. But after various tests, on different machines and antivirus programs, it came out that CA Antivirus see that as a potential thread. So I have removed CA, and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, and scanned it again, with no problems. I also use AVAST now, with no issues whatsoever. It is thus interresting to me to learn that Norton also have an issue with it.

For those who enjoyed the Cheetah D, I am glad that almost 9 months of hard work, trial and error, and research paid off. The Cheetah D is my favorite machine to fly, and thanks to ex (and current) South African Air Force members and pilots, the Cheetah D is a success in my eyes.


All of the best,

Jakes
 
-I tried several times to register,and there is always a problem!!!

Jakes, can I take the opportunity to thank you for this wonderful addition to my virtual skies.

And just to put other minds at rest; since I registered I have had precisely 2 emails from FSWorld, to notify me of a few changes to the forum; not intrusive, not pestering and a perfectly fair tradeoff for such a wonderful aircraft.
 
Hello Johan,


-Thank you very much for sharing!
However,i do not understand that my registration does not work!!!!
Again,thank you.:salute:
