Another eBay pirate - and a question

I see some loser on eBay is selling a CD compilation featuring all 'his' aircraft for FS9, they're obviously downloads from various sites (looks like some payware as well) - how cheesy can you get?

Can't help you with the HL-10 gryshnak, but I just popped in to say welcome back 8-) Haven't seen you post in a while.

I've been doing other stuff lately, FS has been on the back burner for a while.

Hmmm. That sucks...

I couldn't find a HL-10 either. (Also checked AVSIM library.) Maybe it's a typo and he doesn't know too much about what he's actually offering for sale. I hate that. If the article doesn't contain an image of the CD or screenshots of the aircraft, I wouldn't even waste a second of thought...

Definitely some payware in there. Most of it is freeware though. Which is NOT allowed for sale ofcourse. Is there anyway to report this to Ebay so they can remove this kind of stealing?

Worst thing in there is that he claims copyright on the cd. He didn't bother much with it when he made the cd, did he?

Crash ;)

Alas these sort of people do crop up from time-to-time. You can report them to eBay and they have to remove them because selling payware IS a criminal offence.
Drop 'em a line ;)

I don't hesitate to notify eBay of those people who violate the rules. Those who put something up for 99

It's a NASA re-entry vehicle from the late 60s, beautiful little thing.

The shuttle is big, and quite impressive because of it, but it'll never match the HL-10's good looks.
