SZD-30 Pirat - time to celebrate :)

[empeck]

My Pirat has been downloaded over ten thousand times from SoH, Flightsim and Simviation. How cool is that? :jump:

[flaviossa]

One of this downloads was mine ... :ernae:

Thanks for this beatiful plane!

Congratulations! She is one of the most spectacular freeware addons for the FSX for me personally.

Congratulations:salute:, it's at time like this (I have thought when I added up all the downloads of my sceneries) you should not think 'if only I got a dollar for each one'!

The fact is, if most of us tried to charge a dollar, we would be celebrating 100 downloads and probably lots of hassels from difficult to please folk who love to complain!

If you can, please try and keep things free (although your work is right up there with the very best payware in quality) and show the world that some of the best things in life are actually free.....despite those criminals from the banks and their evil ways!!

Me too... I never used a glider until your DoubleC:mixedsmi::mixedsmi:L Pirat...

Congratulations! and Thank you for the plane and introducing me to the fun of Gliders :jump:

Thanks guys :) I still can't believe a glider could be so popular.

That's an incredible number of downloads for a niche aircraft! Well done Empeck:ernae:

[SirBenn21]

Well done! :applause:

I still fly it. As far as I'm concerned It's no.2 after Aerosoft's Discus.
It would be nice to see you make more. An ASW-15 would be cool!
Glider add-on's are rather on the slim side of things. Maybe it's a hint to all other developers out there! Anyone... anyone.. :kilroy:

Or maybe something a little more.....

Maybe it's less "niche" than everyone thinks? ...

There are thousands of glider pilots worldwide. I hope that MS does not forget that and improves ridge, thermal and wave soaring in FLIGHT.

Sorry for high-jacking your thead a little bit Empeck. I'll keep my mouth $hut now.

Congratulations Mike it's a credit to you as it is one of the finest gliders for fsx and the only one I fly, I'm sure your Orlik will double that number when it's released in future!

Haha excellent that's what I was going to sneakily reply :jump:

[DaveKDEN]

Congratulations Michal, she's a beautifully modeled design!

Wondering how you PZL-130 Orlik's coming along?

[empeck]

As you may know, right now I'm working on something completely different ;) However, I haven't forgot about Orlik, just my priorities changed. I don't have too much time for freeware lately.

[peter12213]

Well I have no idea what your working on but I certainly hope it's a jet and that it's name starts with an "F" lol

Thanks Michal. Good luck on whatever your new project happens to be.

......maybe the A2A link at the bottom of his post is a clue as to what is taking up his time.

Hopefully it will not ruin his enjoyment of making aircraft for MSFS (and it might even pay some bills), but I know several developers who regreted making the move to payware.
