Thanks for the compliment . Nor-Cal Prop Club has many more in the works . There will be a pause in uploads as its time for my vacation
from work. As soon as I return we will continue to post more of these great aircraft that we all enjoy in our hobbie.

I have to add my compliments to those above for the great packages from NorCal. I had the chanse to fly with Wreckerman in multiplayer tonight and look forward to more flying and great aircraft!

I have slowed down a bit with the uploads , work has been keeping me very busy . I will still try to get at least two files each week uploaded to simviation. I still have a lot more to come and hope everyone continues to enjoy these aircraft.

Just a thought for the Nor-Cal website:

For most of the aircraft in your library they are shown with the original designers names. Some are not - notably Rick Pipers JP, and Dave Garwood's(?) Beaufighter and Dragon Rapide. At least give them the credit there.

This is a personal struggling for me too Dave take a look

Origianal readme files are for previous fs versions .
missing files are minor errors that have been replaced
also for some odd reason the files posted at sim v keep
having missing files with the uploads ?
butcher no fs hobbiest yes .

Interlect...

Spirit or St. Louis

So you get a choice???

"Unreal numbers" is probably right.  As far as pollution, after you leave, so does the pollution.  Coincidence?  I doubt it.

B'bye

Ive sort of followed this thread with some interest.

Im still a little confused though. Basically 'Nor Cal Man' dowloads these aircraft from sites such as this as we all do - and then alters them 'for the best - to make aircraft designers fix there stuff/ to make them work in fsx'


Then 'Nor Cal Man' uploads them to this amazing site (Nor Cal Mans Site) where tens of thousands of people go because they have seen 'Nor Cal Man' using these now fabulous planes (somewhere? where?) and beg him for these aircraft.

He sounds quite intelligent - if i download somthing from here or Avsim, or where ever, and it doesnt work or is a bitch to install, then ill maybe try and get it going, depending on how much i want the aircraft. Other than that ill bin it.

Ive a rough idea on how to sort Poskys bewildering amount of files and folders for one aircraft, im not immune to altering a few things to get some textures to work.

But i certainly wouldnt alter major things, then go proclaiming to 'tens of thousands' of people that id fixed it, and here it is on my new fangled site...all done by me, fixed by me, aint i good and heres my email for the thankyou letters, thanks very much?

Oh and some bloke who couldnt get it right first time designed and painted and worked out all the complex stuff, but me! i fixed it for all the good people out there in flight sim land who must hang on my every word and wait with baited breath for my next release!

Is that whats going on?

I know i only do repaints, and yes i get the odd email (well ive had maybe 4 so far -not tens of thousands, not yet anyway!!), but id hope anyone wanting to use them on a site such as that with the tens of thousands of visitors would at least ask me first....

Even more so if id spent months making the whole thing - which ive no idea how to do anyway.....!

I certainly hope MY Cardinal wasn't modified..  

It had a tricky brew of texture formats for good FPS and good sharpness and detail.

I've seen attempted repaints ruin that... Tell-tale evidence is the cylinder cooling fins..  they become blurred..

What honks me off is his attitude towards the original designers of FS9 add-ons.  He claims he "fixes" them because the original designer hasn't bothered to make sure his FS9 aircraft is not compatable with FSX. 

The original designer built his add-on with FS9 in mind, and FSX may not even have been on the market yet, so there is no "fixing" because the add-on was never broke in the first place.

I prefer "adapt"  or, more accuratly "modify".

Copying and distributing someone's work without their permission is illegal, though, and if you have any of their files in a package, let alone distribute it to these so called thousands of people, you could be in some deep feces.

P.S., I saw the planes on your site, maybe use some of that 'interlect' and apply some anti-aliasing

Intellect - I'm only saying that as I had to look it up myself about 5 minute ago.


Garry, I agree. Sadly, as we've found, there isn't much we can do about it.

Oh yeah, so you did! Sorry! I can never get it right though...

...bit like su(r)prise!

It's odd how your brain goes when you stop writing any form of coherent English in your day job!

I think this thread is still alive not against wreckerman ,its more because of  what symbolize to the right of the designers ,many has being doing this,and freeware designers can't do anything about it , this guy has not evil intentions either and perhaps many give him credit for what he does,

This is a very old thread and its difficult for many not to feel frustrated and post something about it because of what it mean to the freeware world designers.

Wreck learn Gmax its free, its much more easy to get info now ,you can make money and even good reputation too. 

Just think when I made this I didnt know about the whole issue about this and now its a all out flame war

bob this is no " FLAME WAR " just opinions being displayed through the forum . In reallity we are all fs junkies and all like places like simv and
the models and so on.. but our opinions vary on usage , but I think other than that our interests are probrably simular . It is a game & a hobbie and Im sure we have all ended up here in hopes of having fun
and meeting others online who are here for the same reasons .

I have noticed alot more updated models here at simviation by quite a few more fsx users . This has really brought alot of dormant models back to life .It is a wonderfull thing to see more and more people getting involved in such a huge community and sharing with others their fix or update so we can use these great older models .

Can I assume that this organization is now getting permission from all original authors to upload their work to various websites?

Norcal appeared to have recently shut their doors.

Seems there will be quite a few happy freeware FS developers out there.
