• 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.

VirtualPilot3D - if it QUACKS like a duck.......

that's a pretty cool pic, your avatar. i hope that's your pool, and can do that whenever you want to.


HAH! I wish !!!
Actually it is a pool of friends of ours in Italy, taken 2 years ago. I am ALLOWED to jump in whenever I please, but I'll have to drive 1700 km's to get there each time :icon_lol::icon_lol:
 
They must be using a bit of Orbx . Somebody gave them the HU and here is the response from Mr Venema.....

Thanks for the heads up. I have Jay Kae looking into this for us now. We suspect this site will be heavily masked from the real perpetrators via all sorts of dummy companies, domains and gateways. I only feel sorry for those people who get duped by this and give their $67 for a fake product.

As you know we are very vigilant in guarding our intellectual property and I have no doubt that Jay and the global security resources at his disposal will get close to uncovering who they are and then they will be hearing from our lawyers.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.


Lets hope so !!
 
There's screenshots on the sales page that depict several commercial FSX products, Orbx being one of them, a Carenado aircraft is another. Of course none of these products are included on the DVD they are selling (we think).

Meanwhile the FAA, FBI and some consumer organizations have been made aware of these malpractices and and we hope one or more of them WILL take action. We don't expect ANY FS developer to have enough money to actually employ lawyers to go after them, so we use our powers on the Internet to alert consumers, and forward our concerns to government and consumer organizations that are supposed to protect consumers from fraud.

Word is spreading....... good! Please help us in doing so !

I don't think they even have any concrete product, not even home-burned flightgear DVDs. Once the money transaction has been done, why would they bother sending you anything... All screenies from FSX commercial products and pics of a retail box are just smoke and mirrors.
