I appreciate the response but please be advised, it is illegal to share or send original files. The EULA does not allow original FSX file to be shared between users.
Hi Nick - I'm not sure exactly what 'files' you mean. If you mean complete FS or CFS files being uploaded - as in whole aircraft - well it's been done 1000's of times since 1998 by all 100 of users & developers.
Whole CFS aircraft - virtually all of them - have been 'converted' for FS2002 & 4. 1000's of aircraft include default gauges in the gauges folders. The .air files in 10's 1000's of files are either slightly modified or default MSFS .air files. :)
Most addons are mods of default FS files in some way.
Never heard a word of complaint.
I would argue this is a very grey area, where common sense & respect reigns. It's also a question of where MS draws the line - but getting into this in a big way could potentially open a can of worms that would be a reminder of the Peter Tishma/Papa Tango/Flightsim.com farce when they tried, & thankfully failed, to gain copyright on all airline logos. ;)
