Garry, my advice would be to contact Pete, who runs this site.  He's VERY strict about this sort of thing, and my guess is he'd be very helpful.  I don't wanna speak for him, but I know that he doesn't accept this type of behavior at all....(nor do most of the people who visit!)

Not sure about an email address, but you can instant message him by clicking on his name anywhere on the forums that you see it.  The name he goes by on this site is (ironically enough) "Pete".

What? a life? LOL, there is quite a few here that seem to "live" here. (me included)
As stated before, Pete does not put up with  copyrights being violated. I have no doubt once he reads you message it will be delt with

AHHHH, but when the company is good it is always hard to leave.  And Simviation has a great bunch of patrons and participants in their forums.

One of the better international Flight Sim sites and forums and I have seen a few in my time.

Hi jubjub47,

Sorry but you miss the point - the textures are available from Transload Virtual Airlines.  The perogative of where textures, aircraft, scenery etc are released from is normally the right of those who created them.

The reason that the ones in question should be removed is that they were published without consent and the post implies that someone else did the artwork. 

They also did not seek permission from myself or the Virtual Airline to publish these texture through an alternative source.

Most of my texture work is normally published either through my site http://www.gjsmith.net or through the VA airline sites that has commissioned textures for their needs.

Occassionally I release a texture set through a site like Simviation but use that opportunity to generate interest in the hundreds of textures that I have available through my site or to encourage other painters to also release textures through sites like these.

Regards

Thanks for your kind words Scott,

I like to think that we should not abuse anyones efforts, good bad or indifferent,  and always apply curtesy, respect and acknowledgement for other peoples work across the whole spectrum of the Flight Sim hobby.

The majority of simmers follow the "Gentlemens" concept of aircraft, textures, scenery etc releases and a very small number abuse it occassionally, intentionally or unintentionally, and as long as we stamp on those digressions quickly and effectively then we can keep the hobby enjoyable for all.

Regards and thanks again for your kind words.

You (people in general, not you jubjub) may or may not remember the excellent panels that John "FS Tipster" Consterdine uploaded exclusively to SimV and which were immediately appropriated by a website whose name we do not mention here.

John wanted to do something special for his friends.  He didn't charge anything for his panels, which are as good as any payware panels I've seen.  He just wanted people to come to SimV if they wanted to get his panels.

I agree completely with Garry and I respect his right to place restrictions on his uploads.  I also appreciate our mods taking prompt action to remove it in accordance with his wishes.

I have some of Garry's aircraft.  There are tons of them available on his website.  Since he didn't post a link to it I won't either but if you go to a small amount of trouble you will easily find it.  (Hint: Click on his profile)
