PAD Sherpa is out!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing a whole new level of boring.
 
congrats to these guys though, I'm glad they're making good FS9 freeware.

Ok I got it, cutter in the front and extracting equipment behind. My mind made the connection to your words by seeing two guys in a loud room with a piece of equipment that just sits there and does what it does, like a generator or some such thing. lol
 
I'm afraid I'm going to join the crowd of people saying "I won't be getting it and this is why..."

All credit to them for the FS9 freeware, but as has already been said, that's what it is. I'm playing with Gmax to reduce my limitation of using other peoples' models for the stuff that I release FREE. However, it will be using FSX tools, not FS9. Releasing an FS9 model and saying it's for FSX does not make it an FSX model.

Payware or freeware, doesn't matter. It's an FS9 model.
 
Sometimes i really wonder:sheep::sheep:,
why people just dont learn basic manners
I guess we should make all freeware for compulsory
down loads then people can really bitch
Jeees!
PAD makes some great aircraft for what i pay for
and i fly a few of them in FSX
This particular model
is not really my style of airplane
so i probably will not get it
but thats my personal choice
thanks for the HU Joe

Seems we are also experiencing a whole new level of being inconsiderate.

While I can truly appreciate that guys like you and kiwikat (and myself) prefer a fully native FSX model, let's try to keep inappropriate, nonconstructive and even rude comments left unsaid as they benefit no one and can actually hurt some

PAD has already expressed their stance on not using the FSX compiler for their FSX compatible models

Let's try and think before we type from now on guys.
 
I'm sorry, but I did think and I was not impolite. I'm also not getting into an argument so this is my position and if you don't like it, I'm sorry, but that's not my problem.

The fact is that FSX is not new, it is not an "unstable platform", it is not "impossible to develop for", as many developers, freeware and commercially, have shown. It is, however, disingenuous to release anything, however much it costs, and to state that it is for a simulator that it is not. I had a problem with that when Peter Tishma did it for years, I have a problem when Abacus do it now, I have a problem with it when freeware developers do it - particularly those who do it without the permission of the author whose package they are "upgrading" (you all know who they are).

Is that a complaint? Yes. Is it a valid complaint? In my opinion, yes. I have no problem using ports in FSX, although with two installs (one on XP32, one on Vista64), I keep them on the XP installation. Have I developed models for FSX? Very simple ones, yes. However the techniques I used apply whether they were for an aircraft, a boat or a crate.

I'm getting more than a little fed up of the constant cries of "it's free, therefore beyond reproach" from certain quarters. I also dislike some of the posts above from people whose comments have no real point to them at all (you know who you are as well) denegrating this release. Had it been released as "FS9 (works in FSX)" I would have no objection, but these are not - and should not be advertised as at any price - FSX models.

It's that simple.

Edit: I should add that I *expect* criticism of the stuff that I provide to people. The fact that I get very little, I put down to exactly the same reason that I have never received an e-mail thanking me for it. Most people don't care enough to comment. I do. Hence I am trying to improve and build on what I do as well.
 
Ian
Actually i was not referring to your post
and in general i agree with it
its the you now who you are posts that i disagree with
H
 
I didn't say that there was anything wrong with it, or that it showed shoddy craftsmanship. I said it was a nice freeware FS9 setup, and I said Sherpas were boring. Not PAD, not specifically the model, Sherpas in general. I was attempting to be funny. I highly doubt anyone at PAD would get their feelings hurt by my saying that. When a C-5 lands here, and I lose my mind, There's more than one person who calls it boring.
 
Very well said Ian!!! :ernae:

I've been against the false use of "FSX" in any product description since FSX came out. The worst part is when payware companies do it and KNOW they are doing it but won't change it.

I've spent MANY hundreds of hours beta testing and doing repaints. I know what it takes to do a project and I know what goes into it. Go ahead and criticize my paints. They are waiting for you on AVSIM. You won't get a response, but maybe it'll make you feel better anyways.

Or perhaps maybe I'll even listen to your criticisms and become better at what I do. There's an idea!

PAD stuff has been a favorite in the past (like when I used fs9). If they ever decided to make real FSX models I would be very pleased. I'm sure others would be too.

Yes,,,, I´ll check your great paints and give you ..your due criticism, I hope my manner of giving it will be constructive and never denigrating or offensive as I thing you have given others that do freeware for all......:amen:
