ooooooo A Falcon 10 - Always rather liked the little birdy - There was a nice one that used to live at Hanger One at Atlanta Hartsfield owned by the Smith family (Owners of the Atlanta Falcons football team).

Leif, quite possible though I think someone from here would have noticed it, seems he has retired too and sites are pulling his stuff out.
There was another doing the same last year I think, some Italian gent

In FS98 days a buddy of mine in California, Melo Scanlon and I built a PRXI Spitfire with a quite complex FDE which required two different models in order to overcome FS98's lack of a proper supercharger. The idea was at 15000 ft you switched models, like changing supercharger gear on the Merlin 60, and carried on up to 40000 ft or so.
We'd only had the model released about 2 months when another Spitfire appeared incorporating '....a revolutionary new method of reaching high altitudes....'. This was 'designed' by a guy called George Csillag who hailed from Hungary I think. Needless to say an in-depth dig into 'his' .air and .cfg file showed that it was a direct copy of our work.
I managed to persuade the guys at flightsim.com to withdraw the file pretty well straight away, but to this day Mr. Csillag continues to 'package' other people's work, albeit now with their names included, with minimal amounts of his own input, and to release it on the FS world.
I guess this sort of thing is an inevitable result of the freeware ideal, but it still rankles nonetheless.

I could but I wo'nt upload the Beverley mods that Rick did on Ralph Pegram's model and Brian Horsey's airfile not untill I get clearence from all of them even though Ralph gave me the source files for it, it's still his model and the same goes for Rick and Brian's work.
If and when I gather these consents the proper credits will be in place for the right people.
