none of the helicopter downloads work at all (except the latest ones) and that is really annoying it just come up with this screen which say:

I'm guessing here, but I suspect that some of the download links point to simviation.

Simviation obviously is taking the position that what they offer can only be directly downloaded from their site and not a link from another.

Simviation obviously is clueless as to how the internet works and even if the author's copyright notice specifies that the file can not be kept on another site, there is nothing in law that prevents linking to it since the file still resides only on the "approved" site.

That said, please note that I am not a lawyer. I don't even play one on TV. Laughing

By the way, there is no reason to make everything a poll. You can simply ask a question in a post and get answers.

I hate to burst your conspiracy bubble but we had an arrangement with Simviation that goes back a few years when this site was new. They were nice enough to help out.
They just changed their system so we are now getting errors.
It will be fixed soon by loading them all on our servers.
Meanwhile you can download a huge selection from http://www.hovercontrol.com/ . Sorry for the inconvenience.

Being aware that there seems to be a problem with downloading helicopters from this site, I've never even attempted it.
Hence my vote has to be no. Geek
