No. But what pis**es me off is their odd mechanism of verification prior downloading. Sometimes a digit/letter is totally hidden by some kinda strange Saturn star and you have to simply guess what their intention is. Fortunately, a second chance is given 8)

So are you flying FSX these days?
Oh boy, can't get enough of it. I can hardly contain my joy anytime the FPS counter goes into double digits. Will SEA work in FSX?

He is the owner/founder of Avsim so I guess he should know huh? Try researching prior to posting stupid posts...makes you look like an idiot.

I've always known that the thing that would kill America one day is the lack of sense of humor and self-sarcasm. Arrogance mixed with studidity played a bad joke with many people. You should remember this, Eric. :D

Not wishing to be disrespectful, but a company name is not copyrighted. If anything, AVSIM might be a trademark, but it would have to have been registered as such for any breach of law to occur. I followed the discussion over at AVSIM quite closely and was not convinced that the domain owner had any right to complain, other than the breach of netiquette.

If AVSIM wants the sole rights to the name, then they must register the name accordingly, and in more than just the US...

Just my 2 cents...

PS: Dimon, your post meade me laugh too, I agree with you... posting Tom Allensworth's name without any qualification in this forum as if everyone here should know who he is is a little naive...

I thought it was funny as well. People talk about Allensworth like he's required reading or something. Avsim is just another website. If he wanted sole ownership of the name then I guess he should have bought out all the domain names using avsim (ie: .com, .net, .org, .ru, .de, .us, .edu, etc, etc) as our new friend has explained. :?

Nope. I haven't even bought a copy of FSX. Don't plan on it either.
