RE: Giles 202toc is ready for take-off in G3!
 

I thought STL was just a vendor for AFPD. Rick never released the mower so I don't know what STL could be suing over unless he made the model for AFPD. IPACS would have to sue Rick if they deamed the models were a copy and fall under their license. Anyhoo this stuff has gone way past soap opera. Good luck to everyone.

RE: Giles 202toc is ready for take-off in G3!
 

i just would like to know, why would he even name it the EXACT same as it is in AFPD?

im not saying he copied it, even though it does look like it, but it is a little odd


why not just Giles202?

would look better on his part

RE: Giles 202toc is ready for take-off in G3!
 

STL is claiming that Rick used his powers with AFPD modeling software to steal the 3 views of the mower and make a carbon copy for G3. This is simply baseless and stupid because, anyone can take the plans for the Sky cutter and do the same. Rick just can't distribute it without permission from FlyingthingZ.com.(not STL exclusively) On the Giles scheme, It's not possible to take the AFPD scheme for G3 as they are very different files and very different designs. Rick did a masterpiece with the Giles paint and it was in Paint Shop.(by hand) The scheme is NOT an exclusive scheme for AFPD as both are copies of the origional by Comp-ARF. Rick just doesn't want to go to court and lose time with his family and friends, even though he could own OMP, AFPD, and anything else he wanted if he counter sued STL for defamation of character, harrasment, discrimination, etc.

Mudsurfer, I believe that was the name of the real model. At least, that's what I've always called and haven't heard any differently.

Cool, just wondering.:D

But, an easy way, would be to have AFPD open, in the aircraft editor, and hit "Print Screen" button, then just hit Ctrl+V in a paint program, and can take whatever is on the screen, resolution would not be very good, unless you zoom in on the aircraft.

I'm not getting against anyone, i'm just pointing out possibilites. Like I said, that method would cause a bad resolution, making blocky lines and poor color. We can tell Rick didnt do that, the paint scheme is just too awesome[8D]

STL is nothing more than a child...

Now he has removed a valuable source of planes and other resourses for G3, not only because he has always had a problem with G3 in general, but his personal grudge against Rick himself.

I hope you're happy STL, im sure everyone appreciates what you've done...your a true work of art you self-righteous know-nothing moron who is too bent on his personal issues to consider the long term ramifications of his actions, yes, THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

By the way, i had someone email me the exported paint from the AFPD version, its a lower resolution than what ricks plane was. For those that arent familiar with computer graphics, that makes it impossible for rick to have just copied the scheme...it would be blocky and pixelated if he had, as his skin is very high resolution.

This is funny stuff. reminds me of an arguement I was in about a year ago. about the same time swtched to G3 and started buying my YS motors from Central Hobbies;)

RE: Giles 202toc is ready for take-off in G3!
 

oh, okay 50. i was just wonderin. it just said stuff about a trojan in your posts

RE: Giles 202toc is ready for take-off in G3!
 

Rick got the trojan, STL sent him to it.

RE: Giles 202toc is ready for take-off in G3!
 

No problem Harv. Actually Rjm, STL posted an infected link and Rick got it. I was over protected and didn't get it.
