Does anybody know about this? Note the Paypal 'donate' button at the bottom of the page...

A number of the aircraft Viso and I did, amongst other things, appear to be on offer here.

http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/cfs3.html

I'm downloading what appears to be a package containing everything he has gleaned off other sites - I'll let you know what it contains in half an hour or so!

Update - I dropped it. But look here:

http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/korea.html

And he is offering up PTO Solomons.

Unfortunately, it costs quite a bit to host these rather large files.
Therefore, we ask for a small $4.00 donation to help with the cost
of making these files available.


Good, isn't it?
 
I have sent the following note to his address:

To: unclestink@unclestinkstradingpost.com


I have just discovered your site which hosts a number of CFS3 addons, some of which are mine, and most of which belong to people I know and work with on these addons.

You do not have our permission to host these, nor do you have our permission to charge for these freeware addons.

You will remove them forthwith or face the consequences.

Nigel 'ndicki' Dickinson


I suggest all of us do likewise. If somebody can advise on further action...

Now what?



 
Nigel I think your real detective work was just finding his CFS3 download page. Even using the link you provided I could not get to a CFS3 download page?

Glad you found this out...but out of curiosity...what are "the consequences" ?
I hope there's something that can be done, because this guy deserves "consequences"

 
I understand that if I/we protest in good and due form to Yahoo about infringement of intellectual property, they can close him down. As they're very sensitive to such accusations at the moment, it may not be that difficult, seeing as he is a private individual and not a commercial user.
 
Rather poor business model taking something free and selling it (but bottled tap water apparently worked OK), hopefully he's not making any money off this and will get the boot from yahoo ASAP!
 
THIS *** has pinched everything out there!!
Missions, Planes, scenery items!!

How does one complain and to Who?

I am willing to raise the roof on this (if I knew how)
The links all work for me Nigel..

does anyone Know how to deal with this?
Hobbit has his ears pinned back on this..
Very displeased that someone would steal the work of OUR Masters then sell it!!
 
How about a short email to the berk asking if his head zips up the back? Does anyone want to download from him for money when the originals are freely available - for free - on the net? Sigh.
 
Here is a list of just the missions this *** is selling made by our Masters..
If he is making money on any of this shouldn't that go to the authors of this work. Not to the person who pinched this..

CFS3 Korean Theatre Construction Set The Korean Theatre Construction Set (KTCS) uses your existing copy of Combat Flight Simulator 3 to create a new game directory then installs the Dogpatch Crew's DPC CFS3 Korea game. After installation, the two games operate completely independantly. The game features the new Korean Theatre and several new aircraft and vehicles developed by the Dogpatch Crew. Many of the features of Combat Flight Simulator 3 work properly with the new Korean Theatre but not all of them owing to ongoing issues with the beta version of the Microsoft CFS3 Scenery SDK. Therefore, the Dogpatch Crew still consider the DPC CFS3 Korea game a beta release. None the less, you will enjoy flying the Korean War aircraft over authentic Korean terrain. It's a whole new game!

Combat Flight Simulator 3 Mission Pack

Two new missions are available for Combat Flight Simulator 3! These missions, which were designed with multiplayer in mind, will get you into action quickly.

Death Beach
Death Beach is a historically-oriented mission that takes place during the Normandy invasion. Allied troops are storming the beaches of Normandy; unfortunately, a nasty surprise awaits them. A reserve German tank company has moved in to act as coastal artillery, and is hammering the landing craft as they come ashore. You are flight leader of a section of P-51Bs loaded with Bazooka rockets and bombs. Take out those tanks!

Death Beach can be played as a cooperative or competitive multiplayer mission. Because it starts in the air near the battleground, you won't need to fly for extended periods of time to reach the action. German players man an intercept flight of Bf-109s scrambled to protect the platoon.

Defend Factory
The Defend Factory mission is simply a free-for-all shooting-gallery type mission, and is not based on any historical events. German armored vehicles are attacking an allied factory. As pilot of a flight of Typhoons, you must destroy the attacking tanks before they cause heavy damage to the factory. The mission is challenging because the tanks attack quickly—as flight leader, you will need to prioritize what is attacked first.

The Defend Factory mission can be played cooperatively.

Dear Sir, Madam,

I have stumbled across this site, hosted by you, which proposes add-ons for flight simulations:

http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/cfs3.html

You will note in particular that he asks for a donation of $4.00 to cover his costs.

He offers this list of the add-ons on offer:



http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/fs_info/cfs3v2airdesc.html



At least 29 of these are my intellectual property, under the name of 'ndicki' and were uploaded to Sim Outhouse (http://www.sim-outhouse.com) and a former site, Netwings, which has since ceased operations. Netwings content has been uploaded to Sim Outhouse with the full agreement of the owner, Pete Daly, and all concerned.


Most of the add-ons on 'Uncle Stinks Trading Post' come from Sim Outhouse and Netwings.


If you compare the descriptions in the list I have indicated with that in the downloads section at Sim Outhouse - http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=143 - you will see that he has simply copy-pasted the information, and that allowing for SOH's system of placing the add-ons in different categories from those used at Netwings, they appear in much the same order.

Further, on this page - http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/cfs3.html - he proposes two Korean War files, and the PTO Solomon Islands Theater; these are equally pirated from Netwings/SOH - http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=166 - and http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?34077-Download-Locations

http://aussiex.org as you will have seen co-hosts some of our very large add-on files, such as those mentioned above.



Further infringements can be found amongst the mission files:


http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/files/MissionsInfo.txt


(While the following IL-2 missions are not my concern, you will see that the descriptions still include the Netwings URLs:

http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/files/Missions_Info.txt)


Names of those I speak for include Ground Crew, Groundcrew Design Group, The Dogpatch Crew, Pat Pattle, Rick Rutherford, Raphael Dipper, Mathias Pommerien, Alessandro Biagi, Craig Murray and others. To put it briefly, Jeffrey Starai does not have permission to host any of these CFS3 add-ons, all of which have been lifted from SOH, Netwings and associated host sites, and I can say with confidence that I feel the same will be true of his add-ons for other simulators.

Further, he is hosting a no-CD crack for CFS3 which I expect is in breach of Microsoft's copyright. You will find it at the foot of this page of cracks and no-CD patches:

http://www.unclestinkstradingpost.com/nocd.html

As we offer these files as freeware, we do not ask for any form of compensation, but ask you to ensure that this person can no longer host files while have effectively been stolen from SOH or other websites As you will understand, SOH needs a certain level of frequentation in order to remain able to function as one of the leading flight simulation sites on the net, and actions such as this undermine our ability to fulfill our goals.

Very nice and well done.
 
the thing i don't like about this website is the misleading nature of it. it's suggested you donate money so a download link will be sent to you. i clicked on the links and could download anyway, so you don't need to pay.....

i once announced any pirate would be publicly nailed.......

his forum is down anyway

but talking about stealing stuff......a lot of flightsim stuff is being used in other games as well, i have even found tutorials to import fs or cfs (ship) models into il-2 (how ironic)

maybe you should warn the FS addon makers as well??
