I am now working on a video that you all have been waiting for! If any of you love the Thunderbirds, then this is your treat! Thats right! I'm going to make a Thunderbird video, flying in close formation presenting the full-on maneuverability and skill that I have achieved over my 2 and a half years. Great news! I have flown the video and it will be up today sometime! I didn't think It'd go so fast, but I guess it did. I will be flying the Thunderbirds as "Thunderbird-2" in the cockpit view, so you will see what it is like for me when flying in formation, especially in the Thunderbirds. NOTE! I forgot I had to delete the second video, which was the one for Tower view. I'm terribly sorry, but YouTube found me for copyright on it in which I have no idea what I used that was copyrighted since it was my video that I created from scratch! It was probably the music, but still, it's really irritating. I say "who cares" for the music, actual copyright tho should be greatly enforced in my opinion...Sorry for the disappointment! I am disappointed too!

NOTE: Sadly for some reason on this aircraft the Smoke doesn't work, so I sadly wasn't able to put "Smoke On" in the video. I finally got the smoke working on my Thunderbirds! So in future videos I will be able to use the smoke!

ALSO! I know this isn't a video, but if you guys are curious as to what military information I am currently studying for FSX to increase my military knowledge, here are links to what I am trying to learn...

Great news guys! (And really bad/very sad news below...) I found the F/A-18 Super Hornet. It is a great plane. It is the ONLY fighter in EXISTENCE for FSX that has FULL working Avionics, including Radar, HUD, Weapons, RWR, INS, TACAN, EVERYTHING! It's awesome! I got it for free! I tried to put the gauge files into my other aircraft because it is just SO awesome! Sadly, since this airplane is different, it works off of a SPECIAL system of files and configuration to allow the weapons to fire off the aircraft, to get the radar working, the RWR (Radar Warning Receiver), etc... I would LOVE to have at least the Radar, RWR, and weaponry to work in my third-party aircraft other than the F/A-18 itself, however it will NEVER work! The configuration system to allow this plane all its effects and modifications are just too complex, on top of that, it was built by highly trained professionals in the world of programming A field I want to get into, I'm doing ok so far, making my own gauges and stuff for my jets (using FS Panel Studio of course). Just want to point out I have this AMAZING aircraft, but again, the bad news is I am unable to put those gauges into the other aircraft that I have (This includes the HUD ; Heads Up Display, the reason I would want to do this is because it is the ONLY military aircraft EVER in FSX to be THIS advanced!) So sadly I'm going to have to just stick to the ''FS Weapons'' addon for my other planes, and will NOT be able to use these insanely awesome gauges and radar and RWR systems for my other aircraft I would want to! At least it works with the F/A-18 itself, but I mean, I still want to use those systems on the F-16 and stuff too! This is mainly a warning to all of you that since my next vid is going to be with this new aircraft, DO NOT freak out about how I have these really nice weapons and avionics for this jet, however crappy ones for my other aircraft, because what you just read is exactly why You're gonna probably be wondering: "Where did he get this? This aircraft is so realistic! Is this really FSX?!?! Why don't you have these awesome gauges and avionics in your other military jets?"

Well, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

BAD NEWS M8's, Looks like some of my videos have been taken down/I had to take some down due to unknown Copyright with the audio. This has really made me irritated, as I do not know what I did to make it copyright. This is my flying, my skills, my video from scratch. I've seen many MANY videos of FSX with music such as Linkin Park and Hoobastank. But those videos are NOT taken down from copyright. The reason, I would love to know. I even give credit to the bands of Linkin Park, Hoobastank, or any band I may have on the videos at the time. YouTube still took them down and muted a couple other videos. My question is "Why me?". As I have sayd, I've seen videos of FSX users with full-on copyrighted music in they're videos and they have been up for about 3-5 years already and are still playing. But why are MINE getting taken down from copyright? I don't get it...I sadly think I may have to no longer have music in my videos, either that, or idk. Idk what I need to do. Many people have reported me as a user who does "Theft" for Copyrighted information. But as I already stated twice now, why am I the only one out of thousands of other copyrighted FSX users and they're videos. Why am I the only one being punished??? If any of you have any idea what is going on, if any of you can explain this to me, that will be greatly appreciated! I do NOT want to be permanentally banned and fined $150,000 for copyrighted information in my videos...I hate the law! I'm only 17, I can't be expected to understand this stuff, this is insane!

No one can explain the copyright issues, not even those that enforce it. I think the rule is, if you didn't make it, don't use it - giving credit is not enough.

I understand that, but the thing is, I did make the videos, I made them completely from scratch. The ONLY possible copyrighted part would be the music, however I again have seen many videos of really popular Flight Simulator X users who have millions of subscribers and likes with music like I have. The music they put in is the same as mine, directly from the band, not edited, therefore, I'm pretty sure it would be considered copyright. They're vids have been up for years and haven't been taken down. I have also noticed that only certain songs are allowed, and other songs are not, even if it is the same band in the same album. For ex: "Papercut" for Linkin Park could be used, however "With You" would not. I'm beginning to think that the music I put in has to be by someone who already administers that music on YouTube. This is only a guess, as I am a novice. I'm pretty sure though that there are certain companies within YouTube itself that administer the music you put in your videos, and make money off of it. If they are administering only certain songs that you can put in your videos, then this is why my videos were getting deleted and muted. I have again seen many FSX videos of ppl having bands such as Hoobastank and Nickelback in they're videos, they haven't been taken down, they've been up for years, and haven't been edited in any way. They have complete copyright with the music, and they aren't getting punished for it, but I am, I don't understand why. I appreciate you trying to help though Jaw, it means a lot.

I wouldn't know how, but here's what you're dealing with; what it took for this person to win their case: -

And, it will be the music.
