Manfred Jahn's freeware in MSFS ?

Yup! Just removed the posting of it over at the "other" site. It's not fair to Manfred, Milton, and the other great developers.:encouragement:

Appreciate that! I'm actually hoping that I can convince the team to let me help them convert it to native!
 
Pirated portover already available

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.
 
Just check and C-47 is gone. Also just watch the Nvidia presentation and going for 3080 ($699) for sure. The 3070 ($499) is faster than the 2080ti!

Keeping a sharp eye out for any more being posted on forums elsewhere! :encouragement:
 
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...


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

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.

Hopefully something to say soon :D
 
Yeah, I'm waiting for original developers to update their wares. I don't need someone else's half-a$$ed unapproved attempt. All that's required is a little patience. Planes are being worked on. It would have helped if MS had had their "Stuff" together and had the SDK ready to go upon release, or even prior to truly give the developers some time to be prepared.

Having said that, given how many years I waited for releases that didn't show up until P3D, I can wait a little while longer to get all of the planes I want in MSFS. Also, I do hope HS is able to make a version of the KO F-1 for us. I went back to P3D earlier this week, just to fly that bird. :)

Which, yeah, if your favorite plane isn't in MSFS yet and you need to fly it, then go get a fix in FSX/P3D in your favorite bird, until the original builders, if they're still around or you have their permission, allow it.

Hi Manfred!
Nice to see you again. I will ask the Russian community to remove the illegal version and wait for the author's version of this beautiful aircraft.
 
No longer on simviation

Hi Oleg, thanks for spotting yet another illicit upload, that's number three and counting. Wow. Please let us know if you were able to get them to remove it.

The one on Simviation is gone now, but it had 500 downloads already if I saw that correctly, even though I think they doctor their numbers. Strangely they also deleted the forum thread in which I asked Mr Gloss to comment.
 
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
 
Manfred, just in case you didn't see it earlier, I'd pay a buck or two (or thirty!) to get your L1649 in the new sim! :jump:

That can be done easily enough by anyone at this stage however there are several things that are INOP using that method.
