    Ive been on the feelthree mailing list for a while now, Done a few serveys but overall not terribly interested in a Giant Cereal Bowl looking space ship in my livingroom. Cool idea tho, would be great for Flight sims for sure.

    Did FeelThree agree on a commercial payment for SimTools?? It's pretty much the first thing they mention..... (using SimTools)

    It's pretty poor form as the paragraph reads as though it is custom written by them....

    I raised my concern some time ago that our community could become a defacto support mechanism to a range of commercial interests, including FeelThree: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/where-are-all-the-kickstarter-campaigns.6283/#post-69850

    From my perspective the implications are not just about the licensing of SimTools and plugins but what it also means for us as a community. I feel there are already a range of views and tensions evident in our community regarding commercial interests.

    FWIW -
    This "older guy" feels that SimTools is a priority software for "we", the members who contribute to it's use, up-dates, profiles, plug-in's and you name it.
    I feel that if an outside person or company builds some type of Motion Sim for the masses, and realizing a profit, they "should" be charged something for SimTools
    use and promotion. Just don't become a member, pay for it through coins, or a monetary membership, and drive your Motion Sim at "our" expense......
    NICE Concept, but Doesn't Fly................
    AGAIN, FWIW.
