OHGOD! Is it even possible find a more terrible host for this file? I damn near had a seizure.

PYFA is awesome, as EFT is. They're unique in their own ways and people prefer one or the other. No need to diss the work of others just because YOU don't like it. You're acting like a child and an ungrateful one that is.

... You download Pyfa, extract Pyfa, launch Pyfa... lol

It installed and ran straight out of the box for me, personally I'm still a fan of EFT mostly because of its awesome dps graph capabilities which are unmatched by the other fitting programs. I have this feeling that people like Pyfa because of :pretty colours: and a "look at me stating that EFT is inaccurate, making me sound like i know wtf I'm talking about".

EFT ftw, I'll happily wait a bit till Gripen found the time to update it.

You had trouble extracting tar.bz2 archive or locating pyfa.exe in the folder? Maybe you one of those windows explorer users (yuck..) who still have their file extensions turned off?
" Tech savvy" right..

On the other hand Pyfa can be more friendly to users like this. World wont collapse if devs clean up pyfa root folder and make simple installer with shortcut for dummies.

Pyfa is nice. Target painters aren't taken into account in the damage graphs which is annoying. Otherwise I have few complaints so far.

I'll put it as simple as can be:

EFT Rules.

Gripen is da bawz.

If you disagree you're, crazy.

Patiently [grieving] waiting for the update.

It's funny really, at 34 i'm far too old to be playing games really, and you'd have thought i'd have learnt by now, but something that (for some reason) keeps surprising me is how many idiots hang around forums...

I can't vouch for the chap who states he's "tech savvy" obviously, but i was a Systems Engineer for 8 years, and i've been a C# developer for the last 6 years, and it wasn't working for me.

That said, after making that post last night I jumped on IRC on the Eve Fit website (which admitedly i should have just done first) and the author (who appears to be more active/available than Mr Gripen is atm) talked me through several checks before it was decided the download must have been corrupt.
I downloaded again, extracted, and it's working perfectly.
The both of us managed this without any sarcastic remarks or bitching at each other because we're on the net and aren't at risk of getting a knuckle sandwich... I know, it must seem amazing to some of you "helpful" people out there, but it seems it is possible.

On a side note, and in response to some of the other comments on this thread, EFT is definitely an amazing app and has been spot on for years, but if it's not kept up to date (which is entirely the author's perogative) then there's not an awful lot of point in using it, and the chap who's written PYFA seems to be doing a good job of trying to fill that void.

Also, by the looks of it PYFA is taking massive leaps forward every day, and the more people that use it and provide feedback the better it'll obviously get.
Every app has bugs, you can only plan for so much, and testing takes care of the rest.

I'd also be more inclined to donate billions to someone who's actively developing an app for everyone's use rather than someone who might well be losing interest in his creation and/or possibly Eve in general...
He certainly doesn't seem to be bothered enough to even comment on this thread and let the community using his app know what's happening (which again is entirely up to him).

U da man!

You're the best! Thanks alot. Will send some isk your way.
