That is Brian's original C140 with some tweaks done by the uploader. Not a new 140. I have flown Brian's C140 for many many hours and know that plane inside and out.....nothing new from Brian in that package.

Thanks for pointing that release out.

I just downloaded it and nowhere does it say that it is my original aircraft model, except on the page listing and file_id.diz......

Looks like a e-mail to the Flightsim admins to get it pulled is an order. The moron didn't even include my original read me.

Instead, I find this...

This guy needs a major slap on the hand. One of his other uploads contained not only his so called light magic, but also all the files from Shockwave by the looks of it. I did send an e-mail to Flightsim.com on that one to make them aware of it.

This guy has also uploaded your Volpar as part of one of his packages. And he has uploaded a number of Mike Stone's developments...and I know that Mike has a definite NO UPLOAD policy on his work.

I sent an e-mail to the webmaster at Flightsim.com bringing these facts to their attention and recommending that they review all of his uploads and remove the vast majority of them.

More like a major punch in the mouth by the looks of things. What the heck is going on over at Flightsim? A week or so ago, it was a hack of Alphasim's DeHavilland Caribou... now this. I had no idea that something was amiss when I started this thread, and I had downloaded the model thinking it was legit. After reading this, I have since deleted it. I seem to have lit up yet another fire storm and since Flightsim seems to have issues with recognising copyright privileges as well as potential hacking, (as in the case with Alpha's Caribou), I will no longer post any news regarding uploads at Flightsim. That should put a lid on it.

BTW -- I was just over at Flightsim and at 0630 hours MDT, (That's Mountain Daylight Time, for those of you in the cheap seats), The files for both FSX and FS9 versions of Brian's Cessna 140 are still up.

Glad you chaps are more knowledgable than I am and are able to spot inaccuracies and potential piracy quickly. I would have never known until I had unzipped the file, and installed it.... Brian, If I caused you any grief by starting the thread here about your Cessna 140 being "new" over at Flightsim, I apologise for that. To think that the guy had the nerve to list your work as "his" property. Well, nuf' said

Not anymore...

I don't think Flightsim.com did anything wrong in this or the Caribou case. Things will always slip by no matter how tight you make the net. We the end users complain if it takes the major sites a few extra hours to release an upload that we're expecting.
i have the utmost respect for Nelson and his folks and at every instance if there was any doubt about something it has been fixed immediately.

We the end users simply need to be vigilant and help recognizing the bad apples and take them out of the barrel.

Cheers

I just sent another e-mail to the folks at Flightsim.com. I downloaded one of the packages this guy uploaded...not only did it contain the files from a freeware developer who has a strict NO UPLOAD policy...it also contained the entire Shockwave 3D Lights package.

OBIO
 
Seems that as soon as one is taken down, this guy uploads another. I'm sure the Flightsim folks will get things resolved, from what I have read of Stefan's comments above. Flightsim is only one of three sites that I download from. Maybe not so much now... but when FS9 was in it's prime, Flightsim was a mainstay for me.

Just out of curiosity, I grabbed the Maltby BAC-1-11 that Grindele uploaded, as I am very familiar with that particular plane. From David's site, the complete aircraft is less than 25Mb; the Flightsim upload is almost 50Mb.

Surprise surprise, it also contained the entire Shockwave 3D Lights package as well.

I think it's time that someone emailed A2A and let them know what is going on. Pirating freeware is scummy, but pirating payware is a crime.
 
I just fired an e-mail to the folks at A2A letting them know the scoop.

I have had a couple contacts with Nels at Flightsim.com over this issue....I am working to get these files taken down....to be uploading freeware files against the developers' copyright policy is bad enough...to be including payware files is even worse.

I've just checked at Flightsim and this guy has 312 files to his name.

That's gonna take some checking to see how many are legit.

Easy enough to have that many files to your name if these are not of your own making!
What a m*r*n!

..and an indiscriminate m*r*n too...
he's done the same with HJG files, Cal Classics, anything he can find to use for self-glorification
 
Just checked one of his uploads. Not only does he include shockwave lights, but Carenado, Dreemfleet, and WOP .fx files as well. Makes NO mention of them in any read me! Download already deleted from my rig. He is very prolific and been at this a long time.
