Haha, ya, not that guy, but I wouldn't be surprised if very alike in person.

There's definitely something "off" about him. He's also out starting conspiracy theories now too. Someone just alerted me to this little quote in his last post at the org: @Agrajag said: So apparently now each person in this thread is a fake because they didn't agree with this dude's childish antics. He seems to insinuate the accounts are fake. I don't know who thinks that way, but perhaps this guy does that himself in other venues and tries to lay blame on normal people in society who actually can see this guy for what he is. Sorry to all those in this thread being accused of fake. We appreciate your support and patronage during this little bump with a childish adult.

Glad you like it!

Yessir.

Hot air. Lots of it. And blind like a bat too. You have lost so much perspective in life it seems, especially statistically. The "dwarfing" numbers is so infinitely dwarfed in comparison to our costumer base or even product orders. There will always be a few. You're one of them. This situation certainly wasn't challenging. Just challenged. A mouse click. A MOUSE CLICK! You're off the rocker, dude.

Mark, Before we go further, the falco will not work in XP 11 or 10, we do not sell this (for a long time), and I'm curious what version of X-Plane you're now trying to use it with?

X-Plane users are quite vocal. We have had thousands of activations on this new setup in one days time. I have received exactly ONE email about this notification and asking how to get rid of it. Care to guess who from? You. There have been THREE people asking about how to dismiss it a bit easier across forums. There have been numerous people, especially in your org topic, telling you to literally "get a grip", or "get over it". You blew something up over a mouse click. Like a child with a temper tantrum because mommy made him tie his shoe before going outside. Ben did reply to this early. Tons of people did and still are talking about you behind your back. What's sad is you are blinded by being able to see how bad the antics you pulled really make you look. If I had read this thread before reading your OK Cupid profile I'd call BS all day long like playing a poker match. One things for sure...you really love to write about yourself.

It's roughly equal in size.

Ah, I can see how you could assume that. Happy to help!

Hi there! Simply move your mouse to the right hand of the screen to bring the Gizmo menu up, and then click on the preferences icon. De-select the option for checking the license at each startup. Easy, peasy!

Aside from the fact I'm talking to a seemingly ignorant individual, I do not have a chip on my shoulder. You just seem to have a comprehension level less than that of my brothers pre-school child. Given your age, it's also not so likely you'll change, either. No, you're trying to MAKE it more than a push notification. Your gripe was the notification. That's what sparked this. Because you're too cool for school to click your mouse twice a month. The more you type, the more stupid comes out. This is literally that. I only know what you've publicly gloated about yourself. Remember, you did that before I ever said a darned thing. The whole holier than thou comes from you, not I. You're the one who wanted it to be known about your profound greatness in life about researching or writing on these things. Holy s*it, Batman. Talk about proving my point on comprehension levels! We're talking about knowledge in X-Plane DRM and you want to start asking questions about your favorite color or where you spend your time? Lame. What a poor argument. Go ahead and count them. It's small. Wouldn't even amount to 1% of our customer base. I really hope they do read it thoroughly. It's quite evident who the child is if they do. You were on a tirade before I entered this convo about how you can't possibly use a product with a notification that requires your mouse click. Well, you're gone I guess, right? Yes, you're very skewed, silly version of facts. Thank the lord those speaking about you both in PM and now through alternate channels are mocking what a crazy goof you seem to come off like. It's not just me. Hopefully you're done now.

Way more complex. Read up on Hosek-Wilkie.

You're welcome!

I'm saying you must unzip the zip file with Stuffit.

I understand that. But you still need to do what I said.

Based on what you’re explaining this actually sounds like OS X’s app scrambling. Apple has created a function of OS X Sierra which will prevent files from running properly by “scrambling” the file path code. The intention from Apple’s end was to be a security measure, but some people get hit by this even on honest files that do not contain a virus. As per the documentation found around in our forums, most customers get around this by downloading Stuffit Expander or an alternative free unzip app and unzipping the zip files with this application. The files should work after this.

This guy gets it. Thank you for your sanity.

This topic is about a stupid push notification. The rest is moot. You trying to add more elements is just lunacy. I'll take you on that bet. You're not the only customer that matters, oh Holy one. Your years of boring writing on this can be kept to yourself. It's not going to change anything here, and no matter what you say, you will never have the experience of the market or how the younger crowd of it function in it when it comes to piracy, regardless of what you think. I know more about this subject than you do. I also know how the attempted cracks that came about work. And, I also know our tamper detection mechanisms that report things to us and ultimately lead to piracy crack down on these "cracked" products (which by the way, is old crap...like IXEG 1.0.5 even though they try and label as the latest, or SkyMaxx Pro v3, etc). I'm more than positive I keep a MUCH closer eye of dissection on it than you. Go on, have a read. Enjoy some of the threads about entire X-Plane installs being deleted from pirates too. You want to take the gamble of piracy? Go for it. My point is very simple: You're making LOUD noises about a stupid mouse click. That's amazing, and a total waste of time.

It does work in 11!

Yes. I can see the "many" that are coming to defend you. Meanwhile in my PM box discussing you.... You're beginning to border on the line of idiocy. Yes, the notification is for the benefit of the customer. Personally? I would rather it not exist and we just do what we want. Ethically? I can't do that. Having worked in this market on an international level for 10 years I know damn well how much people here take their privacy very seriously, ESPECIALLY with licensing and activation. A notification does nothing to prevent piracy. That's dumb. I'm happy to realize you haven't used these products then. They are purposefully riddled with things. Don't mistake or fool yourself into thinking we don't have tamper detection measures. It seems to be that's what you're paying me for at the moment. All the clicks and typing you've made are worth months of single clicks to dismiss the twice monthly message. Dumb. Calling a spade a spade is just the extra value you're getting in this. I'm not going to suck up to you for being over the top. Yep. Evidently you don't own Flight Factor, xEnviro, FJS, or the many other products which utilize online activation. Contrary to you, many others do. I don't want your business given your attitude. Thankfully MANY others have sent in messages of support against you. Quite okay with this decision of yours. And reddit. Feel free to correct the misinformation you're spreading then: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/122730-done-with-x-aviation/&do=findComment&comment=1181723 The mirror will do you wonders. See ya.

The notification system is used for other things. I don't find a single mouse click twice in a month so awful. The alternative is going back to making you write in to us if you need more licenses...seems like quite a few more clicks in my opinion.

That is correct. You may use your mouse to move over to the Gizmo menu on the right side and select "Preferences". Then, de-select to update the license at each sim start. This will now have your license update only every two weeks, and thus the pop up appear only twice a month. Just be aware that you'll need Internet connection in two weeks time if you want to use the product again. The benefit to having it at every sim start is that your license gets re-upped for a two week period without worry each time you launch X-Plane (great for a laptop).

You make zero sense. You tried to state that a notification benefits me. Now you're just talking absolute nonsense. How does it benefit ME? It benefits our customers by letting them know we did not sneak behind their back to call up our server. You have shown me no proof that such a notification somehow benefits me. Thus far it's been a poor argument. Are you living under a rock? Almost any popular X-Plane add on connects to servers for activation. xEnviro even requires an always on connection. A few people in a sea of so many thousands, and most illegitimate people who choose to be spiteful after being caught stealing or sharing with friends. You can't sell me on this. Am I somehow supposed to all of a sudden love you? Equally the same, you're now spouting off troll style, borderline exaggerated BS over multiple forums now. Thanks? It's almost laughable what a huge deal you're making out of a mouse click. And, you refuse to comprehend the reasoning for it. Nope, it will not request your username and password again. It will just auto update the license every two weeks and let you know it did it. God forbid you have to click a notification twice in a month that your license is valid! Give ME a break.

Awesome!

A new installer has been uploaded which should solve this issue.
