that just goes back to the; you don't own the software, you have a license to run the software. Does it hurt anyone? well, yes it does... using FT with NP software/ interface is theft. same as stealing from next door because it has an item your house doesn't.

we'd only have to trust and take you at word on that one...

you'd be surprised of the amount of people, who, have a clear conscience on what they've done

I don't bought anything from NP.

I run IL-2 1946 - that I bought - and Freetrack - free.

Freetrack don't use NP software to do the HT. Freetrack uses the data format of TIR to stream data to IL-2 1946.

You, W-R, as NP, have SEVERE problems to keep this "hack" talking! Is really fun to see!

you know full well FT uses NP software

Besides the old unnencrypted interface? No, FT don't use NP software! And even that don't qualify use of "NP software"...

And YOU know full well, loser. Pathetic NP employee...

Running again, liar?

@ LoBi...
you're getting pretty hard up, when you have to quote yourself, LoBi... is this what you're going to do the next while? just quote yourself??

As such, if the conscience if not infallible, your conscience probably differs from mine, and if conscience is nothing more than a result of your culture and upbringing then there is no reason why it cannot be selectively examined.

And yes, I'm aware this could be used to justify to your conscience more or less anything, but my conscience is probably very close in values to for example a Christian's, barring of course that I don't believe in the Bible as the infallible word of God.

sorry, I don't do "god" conversations and as such, they have no place in this thread

that would be nice, except, your "legal understandings" and your "conscience" would seem to preclude that... besides which, all the arguments are contained between posts 1 ~ current.

Yeah, beats me why I brought that up either. My fault for introducing conscience to a discussion when I myself don't believe it has an intrinsic value.

nooo... you were going off topic

Yup^^ That was me.

... besides which, all the arguments are contained between posts 1 ~ current.

And yet no agreement has been reached. Discussion/argument ongoing.

However, since the only reason why I joined this conversation was that I was interested to see if you might have motives for defending a situation with no apparent profit to yourelf, other than you having a personal connection to NP, and you seem to have no intention of explaining what these other motives might be, Adiós

Yes, I understand the court of law version of software use, but this isn't a court of law, so take my statement at face value or dismiss it as you wish, its my opinion, nothing else.

Why would I lie? Again, this isn't a court of law.

Sure, and as an atheist I don't even believe in a conscience in biblical terms(a fixed sense of right and wrong "built into" every person), but I know if I hurt someone who doesn't deserve it or steal etc I will feel bad about it (and yes, I will use the court of law interpretations of this as a rough guide in this case).

However, given all that I don't feel bad about using software I paid for as I wish for my personal use (and I don't believe that FT using the open version of the NP interface falls outside that).

you "understanding" seems to differ from your 'opinion" though

hmmm... a touch of selectivity there

too much inconsistency for anything to taken seriously at face value or otherwise

(Pol Pot, and similar, had clear consciences too)
