Quite amusing reading the comments on the Facebook page, highly doubt anyone will be tricked into purchasing after having a read.

While the "website" has now been taken down, the Facebook page is still operational, despite what have undoubtedly been many, many reports having been made.

 

 

Their hoster took the site down quickly. Why does this tell me a lot about Facebook?   :mad:

Rob, despite clicking on the View All Comments button, all I can see are three comments, including one I made several days ago with one word: Scam... :huh:

The comments are deleted... ******** software companies tricking to buy you something that doesn't exist. No wonder piracy is legal in my country.

The facebook page no longer has NLS shots so it's effect is near negligible now.

Genuine Simulations isn't a software company, it's just a scam made by some obviously untalented scammer, that's it. 

 

What does a scam like this have to do with piracy (other than scammer using pics stolen from legit companies)?

That the scammer pirated those photos from these devleopers

Thats a pretty strange comment...

It was a missunderstanding on translate. I mean the scammer software company pirated photos from NLS, Hager planes

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

 

Cheers

Don't fight for words - fight for protection of intellectual (& financial ...) property!   :clapping:

I wonder why GS is still bothering to remove comments from their facebook page their game is over... so who would care?! I wonder if they will make any statement on their facebook page... like technical problems with our website LOL   let's hope it won't turn up somewhere else... with a different provider. They really seem to have a hard shell. Removing our existing sceenshots from our facebook page or replacing them with watermarked ones wouldn't help I guess... they should still have the old and clean ones on their hard drive. Its really a shame that its neccessary to put a watermark on every single picture we want to post.... not only the screenshots but all pictures. Its a shame... :( well, but thanks for all of your support! Keep your eyes open and lets hope they won't be online somewhere else in the future...

Edit: Although I must admit that personally, I am juuust a little bit disappointed that PMDG didn't even answer me, when I notified them about the copied text from their website and asking for help to take down the site. it's okay, I don't care as it worked out well anyway in the end, but after all, we are all members of the community and in this case - developers with common interests to take down the site... so no need for competetitive thoughts whatsoever just my 2 cents.

Might be of interest, but there are similar pigs charging money for freeware open source flightgear, their name of fake simulator is proflightsim, proflightsimulator etc etc etc...  and they post screenshots from fsx, fs2004, and x plane, really really sad... and worst part is, they create fake accounts and promote it on many flightsim sites

Why does this tell me a lot about Facebook? :mad:

It shouldn't. We're talking about a little Web hoster in Germany that probably hosts a few hundred websites and Facebook, which has millions of pages and a small number of staff.

Well, I must say facebook reacted pretty quickly with my request to take down the copyrighted materials that Genuine Simulation posted there earlier. Not sure if you guys know that GS had a large number of NLS screenshots on their FB page. From the time I reported it until FB forced them to remove all images took around 1,5 days. So I was quite happy with that. After they had removed all images, GS put them up again on their website along with many more. Thats where it started to get difficult because I could no longer complain at Facebook as it was out of their reach.

 

Now its a different story... the FB page itself remains there - without stolen images so I guess its harder to proof that they are a fake company trying to promote a fake product. But since there is no copyright abuse involved any more, I guess FB simply doesn't care too much...
