• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Alert: Payware hosted illegally

Already received the go-ahead from a mod here to post this advisory:

The Avsimrus.com/Avsim.su (Russian Avsim) FSX aircraft file library is illegally hosting two payware products at the time of this writing. (April 12, 2015)
They are the ALS-Sim/Flight1 Su-27 Flanker by Mark Harper, and the Alphasim/Virtavia Tu-160 "Blackjack".

Please be advised that if you are perusing their library, these two files are still payware for sale through Flight1 and Simmarket respectively.

Thank you.
 
Can you please provide links. I'll contact the webmaster and have them pulled. Have done it so many times I'm surprised we're not on a first name basis by now. But it helps if I can point to the exact file. PM me if you like.

PM Sent. I would encourage others reading this thread to avoid posting direct links to the files. Thanks.
 
I've contacted the admin there. Based on the number of downloads and what they are currently selling for Mark Harper is out about $19,000 in possible
lost revenue for the Flanker and Alphasim/Virtavia is out about $17,960 for the Tu-160. That sucks and kind of takes the wind out of developer's sails.
 
Bump

Found both. Looks like they're up still. I have that SU-27 on my wishlist at PCAviator. Anyone know of a better one?
 
The Alphasim Tu-22M3 is also still up at the Russian Avsim site. Granted it's an older model, but AFAIK, it isn't freeware.
