The view from my house. Not like when I briefly worked there and was very close so I had to look straight up when it went, but this was an important flight for us all..

I have sent my second email to X-1 and have asked for some explanations and made some suggestions. I will post anything or the lack of it when I receive a response.
Rather than post my request as a challenge, I will allow X-1 to say what ever they feel and hope they not only are aware of this degraded situation but in hopes they have resolved any permission problems.

Hawker, I went to bed before your response and just now saw your request.
My point was that while many are outraged that X-1 will sell this (reportedly for $25.00 Euros) and they will make big bucks at the expense of many freeware modders but then you state doubts that anyone would buy a donation ware product for maybe $5-7.00. Can you not see that if no one would want it for a small amount, there is no reason at all to think others would pay five times that. That is what I find funny, it would negate any reason for any concern of the entire subject!!!
From other projects I can tell you there are 5-10-50 lookers that do not participate in these forums. I include my email on freeware and have often helped people with installs that have never posted on a forum.
There would be many people that would love to have a mod package with a self installer that will never attempt a download or mod. Put in the CD, click install and turn on the game. More, many more, are like that than will mod.

UboatRealsim is apparently unwilling to post the number of time mods have been downloaded where most sights list the number. I again ask they do so to better inform us as to the comparison with the number of buyers of SH3 and those that mod it.
I think most would find a self installed mod package would be well recived, particularly at a reasonable price of $10.00 or less.

For me, I like the building it up myself as many here do so it is not for me. But it is naive to assume anyone sees things like the next guy.
