FSX ativation FAQ from MS..... (Read 5220 times)

Hmmmmm

See you joined in July 2005, done 271 postings (not that many) which is 18.1 postings per month on average.

I joined in March 2002, done 4185 postings, average of 77.5 per month.

Now I see your good friend Politically Incorrect joined in September 2003 and has done 3548 postings. That's 95.9 per month if I'm not wrong, a rate that is something like 50% higher than mine. And a lot of mine are screen shots in which I express no opinion whatsoever  Wink

So who's dribbling on the most?

I have friends here on the forum who have postings well up in the 5 figures and I always read em - because they are interesting and informative (unlike your posting) and make me laugh (which admittedly yours did too).

On the other hand, there are members with relatively few postings but who have very strong views (some positive and others - well represented in the FSX forum to date - negative) and I read those as well whether I agree or not - because I like to know about other people's ideas and experiences.

You obviously don't but that's your business. Are you sure that a forum like this is the right place for you  Smiley

What a fatuous and utterly futile discussion.

BTW - that last comment (about the forum...) was a joke but I expect to see your scathing reply any minute......

I don't care what you two [Rollerball and PI] say, but if you two don't cool it, this thread might get locked by the mods and we don't want that. Now do we?

So cool it, you two.

Just how "objective" can one possibly be, yet still not know about such keboard command shortcuts, such as F9 = VC View and F10 = 2d Panel View?

In my own considered opinion, "high post count" might well be indicative of one who spends less time in the sim than they do on the forum(s)...  Sad

That's something to think about, at least...  Grin

With respect Bill, the F9 and F10 buttons are hardly on the same level as mesh and autogen errors or even the ATC window which, unless I'm mistaken, the user can't change.

People have every right to complain about it. They've paid good money for it, and if it's not up to standard, they should be able to say that.

This is getting silly. You have to compare FSX with FS9 just as FS9 was compared with FS2002 which was in turn compared with FS2000 etc. etc. Wink

You never know. If we're lucky people might complain so much that MS decides to discontinue the FS series after this.


Then there will be some complaining. Grin

For my pennyworth!!! I would say that I am also against piracy, however I am also against a software company dictating to me "when, "how", "where", "what" hardware I can use. The hardware belongs to me not the software company.
Under European law they do not have the right  to force people to upgrade for example. Nor do they have the right to stop people upgrading EULA licences are a legal joke. Probably the only country in which they are enforceable in law is the USA.  In the EU they are covered by copyright legislation. So, here if I buy a software porogramme then IT belongs to me. Only the coding etc belongs to the software co. And whilst they may have a partial right to limit funcionality they cannot prevent me from upgrading etc., The only right they have is to complain if I were to modify their programme and publish it (even that is difficult here in the EU)or to sell any modification i make(this is probably the only field in which a software co. would have any legal success here).
The problem is that one such software co. has such a monopoly that they think they can dictate to us what they like.
This particular software co. already has to pay a huge daily fine to the EU I feel that I would not purchase FSX until they release a version that allows me the freedom to use it as and when I want (obviously not to make pirate copies etc).
I would finish by saying that there are some people here  who portray this particular software co, as the best thingsince sliced bread!!!!! (Nothing they do can be criticised) Well, before you try to jump down MY throat I would warn you that what I have stated IS the law here.
Now I'm going to Tokyo on my current round the world trip (on FS9!!!) Grin . Ciao tutti.

I don't know. I don't have FSX. Grin

FS9 is fine for me right now, as I don't have the hardware for FSX.

However, if you'll look back, I've not made direct complaints about FSX, seeing as I don't know what it's like, although I have defended statements people have already made about it. Especially when accompanied with screenshots. Tongue
