As good as it gets....

[Tony Madge - HJG]

Ok folks, there has been some disconcern about paints not being done or requests not taken on. Lets point a few things out here. This is a freeware site that is done as a hobby, the painters and other contributors of HJG do this for FREE and in their own time. In my case I would love to spend 5 hours a day on HJG, sadly I cannot in fact I cant give you the exact date I flew in FS recently... I hold two jobs (and thats in my retirement!!) down and have real world issues to deal with. I try personally paint when I can and update the website, it all takes time but I do it as I not only enjoy it but have a sense of duty to HJG. I dont get paid I dont want payment, but if you wanted me to paint your house then yes I will let you choose how I paint and what colours because you are paying for the service, please remember this is all free and will remain so as long as I am here. If you do not accept this then I am sorry and if you think you can do a better job please feel free to take on the responsibility and I can get on with a normal life...

You guys over at the paint hangar do great things for the sim community! Pay no attention to the brats that "want it and want it now"...just continue to do things the way you guys do. Keep up the great work, your efforts are greatly appreciated. To the entire HJG staff...THANK YOU!!!

Well Said, Corll One! And ditto Tony, You Brats out there can go somewhere else and purchase stuff. That way you get what you want when you want it! Oh ya, that requires a job! Thank you all at HJG for what you do for the sim community. Most of us really do appreciate what you people go thru to get what is on this site.

I am not trying to cause issues here, I just wanted to put it out there that we do what we do and we can't do any more. I appreciate the support we get and will always be grateful for that. I don't mind critical comments on our work, but all I ask is work with us and I can say coming down the line we have a few things that will be hopefully well received. If I had the perfect FS world in my hands then we would give you all the projects we have on the back burner, however the guys behind these projects are running real world jobs etc so they do what they can when they can to further the hobby. Plus these days to bring anything to fruition (and we want it right) is no longer a quick job. We could "bash"out the projects in short time but they would be poor quality in terms of looks and flight dynamics, the FDE team do a fantastic job of getting HJG stuff to fly as it should

Hi Tony,

I agree with CORELL ONE entirely. Whenever I have asked for a livery or something else (technical question, etc.), I know that you guys manage HJG in your FREE time and that you (the Painters, technical experts, historical experts) have the final word about it.

As I mentioned somewhere else in the forum: HJG ROCKS!!

As i've said before many many times...

Too many people forget this is a HOBBY

Most of us give our time (and in many cases money) freely. We don't expect much in return except a respectful attitude. Too often this is forgotten and people. So just remember that we aren't doing this as a job, we are giving our time for free before you make that post.

You are doing an excellent work, since you are having a real life as well to deal with...and since you can and have a free time, everyone has to respect that. You are not obliged to do anything on a specific time schedule. Personally, I am greatfull for the time you've dedicated!
