I said to back up the damn original folder ,I don't deserve this kind of treatment

Don't let things like this get to you, it's not worth it. You've done some awesome things for the flight sim community and they surely outweigh one disgruntled simmer who can't read and follow the directions, even when they're spelled-out for him. I, for one, am extremely jealous of your capabilities and if he doesn't like them then he should try creating something himself. It takes alot of time and patience to do what you do, so if he can do better, he should give it a shot. His criticism is totally unwarranted and he should apologize immediately. I understand people get frustrated and mad at products but it was his own fault, not yours. Your Citation and 727 sit in my hangar proudly. You do outstanding work, Alrot. I'm behind you on this one and hopefully will see the apology that's well deserved.

Alex, don't listen to that jumped-up moron, he doesn't know what he is talking about. Your models are great & I have most of them in my hanger. He didn't listen to what you said about backing up the B737 folder & paid the price. We have already lost a great repainter this month let’s not lose a great developer as well.

Don,t let it get to you,Alex...When he grows up he,ll learn to read..(Maybe)!!....If not,his problem,not your,s..By the way,just got time to install your 737 cockpit upgrade and love it...Great job!!!..(And I can read the instuctions)

Alex, I'v seen a lot of your work and you are right, you don't deserve to be treated like that. I know it, people in the sim community knows it and above all, I'm sure you know it. The reason because this kind of angry and impolite reation gets to you it is because you are a considerate, polite, giving person. As you surely know, calm, considerate polite people are easy targets for rude hot-headed selfish people. As someone said above: just rub it off your feathers: mud does not stick to eagles. Or: "Los perros ladran pero la caravana pasa "

Seems the quote "you can't win a battle of with with an unarmed man" comes to mind.  SimV has been my provider of add ons since I got FSX and I have yet to find a less than outstanding download.  I have had more problems with name brand providers that have glaring errors in their installation that should certainly know better.  I echo the others when I say don't let this half wit get you down.  Thanks for all your great efforts

I had the same thing happen to me, but i read the ReadMe file and it said to backup my things so i did.

it was only a matter of going in and retrieving the aircraft.cfg file and presto - all the skins are back.

I have since reinstalled the upgraded cockpit but i dorked it up and backed up the new aircraft.cfg file instead of the old one which is now gone.

i could really use the old 737-800 aircraft.cfg file now 

LOL

such things are minor inconveniences really.

dont let this sort of thing bug you - either one of you. 

This kind of situation has to be expected for any developper.
Face the humans, Alejandro, face them ! 

There will always be people trying to destroy what you offer, it's a fact that must be acknowledged and accepted, because for one insulting guy, there are tens of smart people that just got very happy thanks to your work.

My God Alex!! What a total moron!!!

I'm almost tempted to say - post his email here - but I won't.

There are people in this world Alex who really smell of a bad brown excrement - this guy is one.


Don't let the pinheads of this world get you down. They will always be here - always destroying things - throwing litter out of their cars, etc.
Fight them & don't let them get you down!!!

Sorry to see Alex having this bad experience. But, perhaps, that private message really should have remained private.

My mistake. Personally, I still would not have reposted that dialogue here. I work in IT and often deal with people who don't read manuals and who do not have computer skills. And I try not to vent and complain to others about it, even when those people are cross and impatient. As I've told Alex, I have great respect for content developers who freely share their work, and I'm grateful for the many hours of enjoyment their aircraft, cockpits, and scenery bring to us all. That said, the original cockpit's gauge was causing CTDs, and that was sure to cause problems for those who don't have computer skills. Glad that it's now fixed, and thank you, Alex.

LOL... That bloody moron probably replaced the aircraft.CFG file without even thinking what he was doing. sheesh... And he offended freeware developers as a whole too with that statement! Well let me say one thing: the diference between freeware and payware add ons isn't just the quality. Teh diference is that freeware add ons actually make you use your brain to install them correctly... If you do not have any sort of matter inside your skull (or just common sense to read the instructions)  you better stay away from freeware products... Jackass...

that thread its gone from the support forum as so the "Ryan" that its his name also a Jackass ,a good friend of here advise me to delete the whole thread and forget about it..

I could expose his email, I won't

I won't denied that I think this is the first time someone in this FS things talks to me like that (at least in public there's been few Emails,jezz ),
I felt nausea a lot ,I'm also a human being ,I was so upset yesterday that I even track his IP ,yes that's me the childish and also human, and I have a clue ,he's someone who live in the earth ...LOL  

I also Doubt of my self ,that why I open this thread TO WARN PEOPLE ,TO SAvE AND BACK UP THE B737-80 FOLDER if you see how did I start it by warning people about to back it up ,I wasn't looking to call the attention or anything like that..

Why Auto-Install? because there are files that goes to the main sound folder others I thought also that woould't work well in the panel folder ,If I have a lot of A LOT OF!!...no TONS    of people asking me how to install the Citation X and md83 , a silly thing to place a folder in Airplane's folder ,Can YOU Imagine what if they have to put things around the main folder??

,That wasn't private PM, that was posted on my Website which is also more like a support forum for free too

Its not easy after couple days working so hard on a thing that will be for the joy of FS enthusiast to get that offensive speech 

  But the best heal its to see you people give me your support and appreciation

thank you guys 

Alex

Bugger his e-mail address. Give me his real address.

No I won't beat him up or kill him.

I just never had the opportunity to see a 100% qualified dumb ass, looser, brain dead, twig smoking rats-ass no lifer like this in real life.

Heck I was going to take a picture too 

Love your work 

Me too! Great post there Flying Mouse! 

Hi, I'm completely new here, been lurking as a guest enjoying everyone's great work for so long, but having read this post I'm amazed! There is soooo much I don't know about customising FSX, and I've abandoned quite a few planes because the cockpit was black, or some other feature wouldn't work, that I have since found out would have been easy to fix (I had the great RAAF superhornet and found I could not see out of the hornet glass - I have eventually found out how to fix this, and absolutely love it) but at no time did I feel that this was the simviation contributor's fault, and frankly I'm disgusted that someone would feel this way about something they have not paid or sacrificed anything for.

And, for the record, even in MY inexperience I knew enough to keep a rolling set of back-ups of the simobject, effects, gauges etc directories 

Keep up all the good work, it's much appreciated, even though not everyone voices it.

I hope you're feeling better, Alex.  I knew that the simmer's here would be behind you 100%, and I wasn't let down. 

Keep up the great work,

jime

Alex, I just happened by - I'm a confirmed FS2004 flyer. But us simulation aviators gotta stick together 

Sorry you were subject to such nastiness. Your models look superb - so good that I'm tempted even to take another look at FSX. 

Don't let that moron get under your skin - his kind of people aren't worth worrying about.

John
