Well, it's either Dave's Trident or that "other" one. Either way I'm sure it shouldn't be there.
BTW, I like his disclaimer:

By the look of the liveries list it appears the be Daves
But weather the original is freeware or payware you can't repackage and sell it.
Naughty naughty :tuttut:

Looks like there's possibly other freeware Aircraft there too! Maybe work from POSKY? :curse:

There is definitely more than one Tim "Piglet" Conrad plane on that list, as well as the Project Fokker 70 & 100.

Agreed Garry, that's the exact livery list from my model.
VC & non-VC version as well.
That notice about copyright made me mad as well.
I've posted a message to e-bay asking for it to be removed.
Looks like they've been selling other CDs like this for a while.
Thanks for pointing it out

Hi Dave
I'm glad you seen this and taken action
Why oh why do some people have to spoil things?
The freeware world we enjoy is a major coup on the real world our hobbies try and let us escape from.
The more you think about it the worse it gets :curse:

Yet another example of Scumbags profiting on other peoples work., wether it be Payware or Freeware. The later being the worst, because of all the goodwill involved.
I should imagine that Aerosoft & All the Authors of these Aircraft will be firing away Burning emails to ebay.
Makes My blood Boil.

well i've seen these cd's many times, but i often let themgo due to the fact they're 99p - therefore non-profit making really.
however when someone charges £15 and by looking at his feedback he's made a wad of cash, it makes me a bit mad!

It's the pricipal Hinch
They may be non profit making but the developers have made them free at a cost to themselves.
Reference material and specialised programmes have to be paid for.
Any price is wrong
