Selby,

I don't think you're an "@$$hole` or a troll. I'm simply saying that I'm keeping my own counsel on the the issues raised in your particular case until if and when Ramsa chooses to reply to them.

On a more constructive note, you haven't actually described what the problem was that you wanted him to resolve.

If it remains unresolved, perhaps you could post it here  and we could all have a go at helping you out with it. That is, after all, a considerable part of what people do here.

I'm quite happy to have a shot at it myself, as I'm sure a lot of other people here would be.

This is unbelievable.

Yes he sent me that file and I immediately deleted it from my machine because it was really bad Fs2000 scenery and yes I told him that I wouldn't use it and I don't.

And yes I requested that he would "pay" me with a different file and I think that he agreed and than I never heard from him again.

If he had recontacted me and told me his feelings than I would have said the following.

"It has taken me years of training at very high cost to me to have the knowledge that I have and that what I was about to show him would increase his computer awareness by leaps and bounds and that there is no way that he or anyone for that matter can think that one lousy plane or scenery can match that experience or knowledge"

This agreement is something that I have with the members of this site and should never have been treated in this way.

And with all this I still would have done the work until he was happy as I have with all of you.

As to these accusations I make it very clear that these files should be bought in my name and sent directly to me if at all possible.

There are payware sites that allow files to be sent as gifts to someone other than the buyer and there are sites that don't but should. So I don't have one bit of a bad conscience about this.

I have worked hours on some of your machines taking away my personal time, my family time and in some cases my business time.

In some cases I have formed friendships with you and in some cases made it possible for you to increase traffic to your websites and to sell your designs.

And now in return I'm being trashed by someone who's calling me a thief and a liar.

On the Fs2002 forum I have someone using my name and trash mouthing me as a result of this post. Which was supposed to be an honor for me.

And do you really believe that just because he bought a new machine that everything will be fine and that he still won't need help

THAN BELIEVE THIS I'D STILL HELP HIM EVEN AFTER ALL THIS AND I'D STILL WANT A FILE IN RETURN BOUGHT IN MY NAME AND SENT TO MY E-MAIL.

Because whether any of you could ever understand this or not I actually love seeing your shots and knowing that you now understand a little about how to make Fs work.

That's why I do it because you can't pay me enough. I do it for the love of this game.

And that is it.

I am embarrassed for you and your complete lack of understanding.

I neither want to control this or any other forum nor do I wish to stop anyone from expressing themselves in any way that they see fit.

No actually your forte is your mouth and apparently not much else that I can see.

I told you already, I believe, that I have had clients that I have, through restructuring there file systems, including removing planes from their aircraft folder, have experienced increased frame rates.

Now whether you accept this or not is up to you.

What's not up to you is apparently since you seem to have no control over it is your seeming inability to accept someone else's experience.

I will not now or ever apologise or be accosted by you for the method under which I get payed for what I do.

To all of you,

I want to apologise for this whole thing and to say this.

I have purshased many payware files as gifts for my friends in the flightsim world and when possilble I do so in their names and when impossible I do so in my name and send it to them.

I wish that all websites would allow for this unfortunately this is not the case.

If the only way that I can send a gift to someone or a payment (yes I too make payments) is through using my name than that's what I will do and if any company wishes to address this with me than I would be more than happy to deal with them on this issue.

If any of you feel that I have not completed any of the conditions of our agreement than don't bring it up later address it directly to me and we will find a solution.

If Selbiodln feels that I owe him than I'd be more than happy to redress the situation and to repay him for his loss.

Like to step in at this point  and make a commendation.

Michael AkA Ramsa, has been nothing but courteous and understanding and most importantly patient when he has been assisting me with my system enhancements.
He knows the workings of the OS's that we have our sims running on, inside out. His knowledge on graphic card chipsets and their abilities is second to none. I approached him and I asked for his help/services. If i went to a PC Specialist in the street, i would expect to pay for their services.
He does this, as he says for a living, and in my mind, the amount of time he spends going thru your ENTIRE system settings, fully entitles him to a payment of sorts. Seeing as we all love this damn game that MS brought to us, i see no better way than to purchase a file for him.
On the other hand, like Pete says 'On simviation - I will not allow people to give advice for anything but their own generosity' if all i was doing was asking for someones advice on 'a' forum, and they answered me on 'a' forum, i would be of the attitude that any payment would be asking a bit much.
Remember - I approached Michael and asked him for his time to provide me with a service that would result in me having a much more enjoyable simming experience in a matter of hours, not days or weeks.
So far, Michael has spent approx 8 - 10 hours of HIS own time, online, to help achieve some pretty impressive results. I respect his knowledge and i definatley value his time.

Once you get to know him, he's a pretty good bloke too!
I am a very happy 'client' of his, and i expect i will remain in contact with him as a friend.
The pic below was taken with a TNT2 Ultra32 M64. This card doesnt have the ability to use antialiasing and all the other goodies that the newer generation cards have. I use to only be able to fly at 16bit too, otherwise all i had was a slide show. Now i can happily fly using 1280x1024x32bit graphics with all BUT the antialiasing sliders set to the max, and get what i feel to be pretty nice results. I still get the odd stutter from time to time, but who doesnt.

Sorry to disappoint you but in the past few months I have learned enough to get fs2002 running smooth. Besides I come here to this post and and ask questions and a lot of people always help out. I have manage to get my pc running smooth.

No thanks man,
Like I said it's just water under the bridge.

I'm very surprised that there has been no mention of the "Tweaks" post which was made a "sticky' in the CFS3 Forum.
It's helped a hell of alot of people with an issue that was (and still is) driving CFS3 owners to distraction.
In fact, having gone "missing" recently, there are a number of people anxious to have it found and replaced (Pete is working on it, I believe).

Not exactly the kind of post, given freely and openly to any and all that would wish to use it, you would expect from anyone other than he whose main wish was to help others enjoy what he enjoys.
Thank you Ramsa, for that, even tho' my P.C. cannot cope with CFS3. I hope it's available when it can.

It can however cope with CFS2 very well, with better frame rates and much better graphics (if I choose to set "High" for a screenshot) thanks mainly to Ramsas' free advice regarding my P.C., it's limitations, settings and much explanantion (to a P.C. dimwit) as to how and where I was going wrong.

If I ever found myself with a complaint or critisism of someone's help (or even purchased services), I would be going to that person and certainly not be "broadcasting" to thousands, my impressions and accusations (true or not). Common decency would deter me from that action.

I have no doubt, Sebiodln, that you truely believe you were "hard done by".
Ramsa has offered to rectify any shortcoming. You have declined. All over with, as I see it.
The way in which you saw fit to deal with your dissatisfaction is my only disappointment.
