Yup! Just removed the posting of it over at the "other" site. It's not fair to Manfred, Milton, and the other great developers.
Yup and none of the radios will work LOL. I genuinely understand their enthusiasm, but port-overs are so mostly broken!
Until we get the native version done.
:fingerscrossed:
Appreciate that! I'm actually hoping that I can convince the team to let me help them convert it to native!
Oops, just seen this, too. The first pirated copy already. Looking awful, and has bugs, hopefully lots.
Haven't given permission, of course, nor did they bother to ask or notify. Uploader is anonymous. Am trying to get them to remove it from their server but get an 'undeliverable' from their contact form.
Edit: Okay, they did acknowledge my mail and removed the upload. Wouldn't be surprised if it came up elsewhere though.
Hello,
My name is Manfred Jahn. I am the author of the freeware FSX C-47.
A portover of this plane to MSFS2020 has just been uploaded to simviation. I did not give permission for this upload and kindly request you to remove it from the server, and let the uploader know about my reaction.
This is the second illicit upload today of my plane.
I trust you do not tolerate piracy of this kind at your site.
If you are not the person responsible for any action I'd be grateful if you could forward this email to the person in charge.
I'd also be grateful if you could acknowledge this email.
Thank you.
Manfred Jahn
Thanks Postbear. Zach Gloss, eh? A name to remember...
Best to have standard letter I guess.
Really motivates a developer to do any further work...
Hi Manfred, I'm really glad you're on this. Charlie over at Avsim has done away with the thread promoting msaddons.org. This morning I sent them an email informing them that they were offering pirated software with no permissions, etc.
Your C-47 is a work of digital art and a joy to fly and operate.
I was just wondering if you were considering doing some work on your C-47 to bring it in to MSFS?
I've been flying your wonderful C-47 for a year or so and can't imagine MSFS without it.
Hi Manfred!Thanks Postbear. Zach Gloss, eh? A name to remember...

One way to defuse this would be to release the two JSON files that need to be added to the standard C47 as hosted by SOH to get it to work in MSFS pending the full conversion.
I could provide these...or not if it's felt to be a bad idea...
Cheers
Keith
