I thought once the hard work was to make the aircraft ,I was wrong ,the biggest work its to deal with its release ,with the piracy ,with some angry people that fox example insults me because they dont like the screen flashes message of the CitX VC ,
the upgraded 737 VC very disappointing and I really regret wasting my time in it

You'll always have pirating idiots.
If everyone in the world was perfect,we wouldn't have prisons,we would have less taces,there wouldn't be any police.
But we do,and there is nothing we can do about it.
Its sad to see one of the best freeware designers go.

You should certainly send them a 'cease and desist' email. It is your property, and only you can stop them from doing it.
I can't find their domain information, but if it's a US registered website, then you could always file a DMCA Takedown Notice, or write to the actual host who is supporting their website, and tell them that they're operating illegally and that you want them to remove your content.
It is unfortunate, but any online media is vulnerable. You shouldn't let these people take your rights away from you - It is your property, and it is not for them to host or sell. Only you can prevent it... Nobody else can file copyright notices, because it doesn't belong to anyone else.
Don't give up, just sort them out and carry on!

Alex -- add up your downloads. 10's 1000's 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
Now add up your problems from a few morons > How many? Not many.
If I were you I would create your future as 'donationware' - wher peolle are requested to make a small donation - even $1 - or however much they want to give. This will stop sites like this ..
But also remember ALL payware is available free from torrent sites. Also all software. It is part of the world we live in.
If you want us to give you a template email you can send to these pirate sites --
it will save you a lot of stress. Instead of sitting writing an angry letter -- and getting worked up and sad -- just paste in the standard email and go back to having fun. You should do this!!
Let us know. It's easy to make one that will be exactly what you want.

Just relax Alex ..... This happens to everyone. Simviation is being attacked regularly by morons trying to slow us down and damage us. I was up at 3am yesterday with a DoS attack.
Sit back .. you'll be fine. Just take a breather & do something else.

I don't know how much I can help, but if it is any consolation, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the work you put into your models, Alrot. I designed a plane once myself, and the hours of fine tuning often makes me want to pull my hair out, so I understand how tough it must be to have someone out there steal your hard work and use it to their benefit.
I hope things work out and they pull their site down.
