You have great planes on website and decent website also. Brings back alot of memories as a kid. It looks like alot of people went to great lenghts to create repaints etc! It also seems that after all these years installation is kept intentionally hard or technical. We have the technology to pair up planes and repaints with panels now. I have spent countless hours over the years trying to install a few of your planes, and hours more trying to figure out why this line or that line is not right. Also noticed you have no texture folders in your base files. Every plane I have checked in fsx that came on disk has these dds files. Not sure why HJG don't. I'm done reading forums and 10 year-old solutions. There is a little blue box at bottom of your homepage that says donate. When I can install a plane with panel and repaint in less than 10 minutes I will gladly do that! In the meantime I am done with HJG shenanigans. Thanks for your time.

Well I'm not speaking on behalf of HJG here but I'll try to answer your question. Having texture files and base files seperated enables a high degree of customisation from my viewpoint. Talking about various engine options for the same texture here. If they were to host everything as a single package. Say a full package of a KLM DC9-32 and another package of a JAT DC-9-32, it'd obviously take up a lot of space considering the plethora of repaints available. That's how i look at it. Also, if you really wanted to fly historic planes, this hassle of installing doesn't really matter as flying historic planes is a bit of an enjoyable trouble.

Somewhat "pointed" and quite unnecessary really .... but .... no offence taken .... at least not by me  "NOTHING" offered on this website is onerously difficult to install .... or fails to conform with anything other than what's recognized as being "standard FS installation procedures" and practical (if not basic) home computing skills of the past 20+ years. Almost all of the "VERY FEW" problems experienced with our files are caused by people not reading, or otherwise failing to follow, the prescribed installation procedure/s. In light of your alleged difficulties though shouldn't the most "logical" thing be to log-onto this forum (you imply you've had years to do so, but, have apparently only just now done so) .... and state "PRECISELY" what you're trying to install, into which FS platform, and what you've actually done, with a brief description of the issue being experienced .... with the intention of giving someone else here the opportunity to try'n assist resolving your problem/s ? Surely the time it's taken you to frame this/your "first ever forum posting here" (and one seemingly composed of "veiled contempt") could have been applied to "better/more positive effect" ? Had you bothered doing so .... then .... I very much doubt you'd have any difficulty to be reconciled by now given the extent this team, and its community, often go to try'n aid resolving peoples difficulties .... and with a greater than 90% success rate .... BUT .... for any us to be able to do so also requires people to help themselves to the above extent so we can then at least "TRY" and assist them  In response to your other statements .... 1. Except in the case of a couple of stand-alone aircraft subjects only we don't provide textures within any base packs .... and nor would it be practical to do so given the size of the HJG aircraft texture inventory .... and nor will we consider doing so anyway given we allow end users the choice to select and install "whatever they specifically want" rather than our forcing compositions upon people which they neither like nor want .... therefore we "WILL NOT" be reviewing this policy (of the past 18 years) .... or providing auto-installers for that matter either. 2. We don't, and have never, and nor will we ever provide files in DDS format .... and nor do we provide anything on disks either since we're not a payware/commercial enterprise, but rather, are nothing more than a small group of "FREEWARE" FS enthusiasts and volunteers. 3. No "shenanigans" are ever perpetrated here in regard to anything we offer, say, or do .... so .... if any form of good will's to prevail, at all, then, respectfully put that sort of negativity out of your mind please. FINALLY .... Unless you get back to us with "specific details" in regard to what you're trying to do and the actual difficulty you're experiencing, then, your particular issue/s will likely remain "unresolved" whereas it/they shouldn't .... so .... it's now entirely over to you.

Another satisfied customer it would appear, thanks for popping by and hope you realise in due time that what we offer here FOR NOTHING is a service that provides high quality aircraft with manuals panels, sounds and base packs for so many variants of the types that include superior flight dynamics, then we go and throw in a whole lot of excellent textures for you to enjoy. But hey dont let that get in the way of you having a moan, if you had issues there are ways to ask and we deal with them getting the best experience we can for you.
But hey I have far better things to do in life and folks that just come here an whinge for the sake of it makes me realise I might as well just go and do them...

I'm a long time "satisfied customer" that appreciates the hard work you guys put in.
One thing about this hobby that I don't understand is the amount of people who seem to complain about
freeware without considering the amount of work that developers have put in for no profit.
