Guys, beware here - this could be a pirate situation similar to what happened with the FS France planes (See FS9 forum). Here's a quote on this from the Avsim forums from February 2006:
'Mr. Kreznor I have another problem as my files have been stolen again. I've just noticed that Brian C. Selb author of Airbus A380-800 v2.0 for FSX filename a380_800_fsx.zip
Mr. Selb stole my RB211-535 V3 757 Soundset...
In addition he has uploaded many aircraft "full packs" for FSX lately however the soundset author's that he has been using for his packages have received credit for their soundsets. However mine was stolen and my name was not even refrenced in any of his documentation, nor did he contact me for such a thing.
At this point I'm really getting frustrated, for the lack of appreciation people have for my work and respect they have for me. Nowadays I hardly ever get thanks e-mails from FS users that download my files and believe me I often get thousands of downloads on my files and never a thanks or anything. And the fact that my files are being stolen left and right is not making me feel any better.
I'm really starting to reach the point when I'll say to myself, is it really worth it to spend so much time to make soundsets and just to have stuff like this happen all the time, I don't really see how it makes sense.
I hope other freeware FS developers out there understand the way I feel right now...
Sincerely,
Emil Serafino Jr.'
Emil Serafino Jr is also quoted as the author of the soundset used by 'Eric Buchmann' for the recent 797 in the FSX downloads section, and I doubt that his permission was asked for that either.
Might be wise to steer clear of all of this, and go with Robert Versluys' A380 which is the best freeware version at the moment.
