My first post and right away I have to bother you with a complaint. Apologies for that
I am the author of the FSX Basler BT-67 and the Braddick Turbo DC-3TP. I have been alerted to the fact that Jose Antonio Lopez R. ("JALopezR") has uploaded complete but modified packages of these two planes to this site. Although we encourage and appreciate repaints, in our readme, which the uploader has included in his package, we expressly state that
Quote:Redistributing this archive with any files added, removed or modified is prohibited. This archive (or any parts of it) may NOT be included in other packages without the written permission of the authors.
The fact of the matter is that
- the uploader has not approached me or any of our team asking for permission.
- Both the Braddick and the Basler packages include an anonymous soundpack not present in the original package.
- Both the Basler and the Braddick exclude the original effects files.
- Even though postdating V2, the Basler upload is based on an obsolete V1.
- The installation instructions in the original readme clash with the uploader's versions, no alternate instructions are given.
We have tried to get in touch with the uploader but have not received any reply.
In view of the fact that you require uploaders to ..
Quote:Please ensure upload files include correct credits
Please ensure permission is obtained where required
.. I would respectfully ask you to remove these packages from your server and ensure that the uploader sticks to proper process in future.
The two files in question are
Braddick DC3 Turbo Dakota Buffalo Airways Package (Category: FSX > Props)
Basler BT67 Buffalo Airways Package (Category: FSX > Props)
Many thanks and best regards,
