Ok... it's time for an official announcement.
The facts:
a) Since the 5th of August we see many, many queries to RouteFinder from a particular IP address. This address corresponds to the webserver which hosts the site mentioned below..
b) It appears that there is a website (advertised recently on the major online FS communities) which uses our web interface to generate a routing and relay it to the final user without giving credit to the original source.
c) This practice is against our usage rules: RouteFinder has to be used interactively and not from an automated program (otherwise it could not exist due to current company policies).
d) The aforementioned site appears to be selling advertising space right on the route search page, thus potentially using our datacenter CPU time (and our network traffic expenses) to make money.
The request:
We kindly ask the webmaster of the site in question to stop abusing RouteFinder.
You know who you are, and there is no need to point a finger. We like to think that no radical action is needed on our part; but if it need be, then it will happen.
By the way, that is not the correct way to use the parameters, and you are getting mostly bad routings (worse than RouteFinder does usually).
Some background...
RouteFinder was born in 1995 and became an internet application in 1997.
On 2003 the development was branched and my company started offering a "real world" flight planner (not the commercial part of RouteFinder, but a totally different project).
It was my determined wish that a free routing tool (even if limited) continued to exist for all flight simulation enthusiasts. Many fellow simmers give away aircraft models, sceneries and software for free, and this is my way of contributing to the community. So I remained directly in charge of RouteFinder while working at the "real" flight planner too.
Maintaining RouteFinder is costly. It means long nights assembling/amending the database and fighting the "crackers" who like so much to harass our server.
It also means optimizing the limited computing resources to be able to swiftly serve everyone who wants a quick-and-dirty routing through the airways. Let me say, there are thousands of you... and all of you are welcome.
The network traffic has a price too.
As everyone can see we had to create a commercial offer with some more goodies, to keep RouteFinder going.
It is not a PHP script you put on a server and it magically works (this is a partial answer to those who write us asking for the "script sources" to put on their website).
It is an ensemble of various elements - databases, C programs and a PHP interface. Not perfect... it just makes a relatively complex task seem simple. It contains and generates mistakes, too - it does its thing "live", it's not cached or precalculated. It doesn't understand automatically all those airway restrictions (in fact you have to help it with the RAD/CDR/CRAM option). But on the other hand for operational use there is its bigger brother - the "real world" flight planner I mentioned before, which is on another level.
It is my creation (100%) and as such I would like to see it respected and not abused.
Soon it will be exactly 10 years since RouteFinder has gone live. I am not anticipating anything, but you will see some changes, mostly in the direction of "integration".
Kind Regards to you all,

The "s**-****e.com" case: moved to a dedicated page to avoid bothering our visitors. If you are really curious and have some time to waste,
you may decide to read about our point of view. Boring stuff. You really shouldn't waste time with this, life is too short.
