Guys,
Let's calm this down, there's a lot of hot air blowing around for nothing. If Alex wants to use the gauge in his VC (a compliment to George Carty after all), then why not just leave the location reference in the panel.cfg file, and put a note in the README that the gauge itself can be downloaded from the HJG downloads section? Anybody keen on using Alex' 707 (and who wouldn't?) shouldn't have an issue doing this - it's not as if it's hard work or anything.
That way, there can be no accusations of theft since the gauge will be obtained by the user from the 'right' source (which is here at SimV in any case).
I'm hoping that HJG is not trying to emulate other well-known model designer outfits who are very ... forthright with their views, shall we say, on their own websites.
if hot airs blowing i think your fans to blame ;D
