Well folks it seems as if the hackers have once again one upped the licenceing agents at PMDG. Thats right the B747-400 is now availble cracked  As I was serching for a CD crack for FS9 I stubled on a folder of "The greatest aircraft of all time for FS9". So I figure why not download it. Inside I found many things like the Airhead super deathcan and the UH-60's from Mike Stone, but the last little zip file in this RAR was one labled 747. I thought it was a Project open sky one, but no it was the PMDG 747 Queen of the skies, and according to the read me, was completely functional and the crack was tested. Ahh why cant people just pay for things?

Sad day indeed.......those stupid people. Can't pay for it so put there computer skills to it. I would rather spend my skill tying to earn the cash and then bu the thing rather than doing something illegal...the time and money spent on creation on all payware add-ons for nothing.

Yes the crack was only released today, so thus meaning that PMDG had done a very secure job on the licence. However they still havent been able to get to the level of the Level D 767 that still remains un-hacked.

Its brutal.  It takes the spirit away from it all.  I don't own the PMDG 747 personally, but if I really wanted it I would definately go buy it.  Its sad how some cheap people have to ruin it all.

Honestly, as if the crack distributers are bad enough, I hate the ongoing demand for them.  Often times, I would fly my payware aircraft in a multiplayer session, and I have been asked numerous times if I wanted to trade payware.  I know I paid for my aircraft, and (in most cases), the product I get is worth every dollar.  Shouldnt be distributed around like that.

I know companies like Aerosoft (i have a couple of their products), they make it so everytime you install that thing, it will connect to the internet, search your account to see if you actually did pay for the product, before you can actually install.  And theres a limited time you can install it too, so theres no way hackers can really get a hold of it.  And if you don't go through that process, then you might be missing some gauges and stuff (I had to obtain a checkfile for my products so they install without connecting to the internet, just to make it feel like I actually own the aircraft, since i did afterall pay for it!  ).  Smart idea on behalf of them.  I found it annoying though I understand perfectly why they did that.  Anyways, perhaps it might be like that one of these days for other developers as well.

Well im not about the eaglesoft e-reciepts, since i dont have any of there products, but if you didnt pay for any particular payware plane in your hanger, then you shouldnt have it in your hanger.

I agree with everybody, these people at PMDG worked the hell out of the aircraft judging by reviews, and it is wrong that somebody had to go and do something so disrespectful to the worthy designers.  It is really screwed up and enrages me, at least most of the FS community have the common decency to actually buy their add-ons.

A very angry,

I really don't have any sympathy for PMDG, or any other company that selling payware...
