Emi 5161 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Gentleman, this website: http://www.genuinesimulation.com/ is a fake website and consists of stolen images from another developer. Please be warned that this is a fake website and the images (exept for the last one) belong to Next Level Simulations. Their feature list is stolen from PMDG's 777 as well as our Airbus X Extended. (And BTW, they didn't even manager to get it corrected... or of cause Boeing does now sell A380s... "Flight Model - Engine and flight modeling that is within 5% of the actual Boeing aircraft performance charts, including single-engine operations. - See more at: http://www.genuinesimulation.com/#sthash.BnosmmNK.dpuf" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 And here's a nice fresh thread on AVSIM: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/433209-the-genuine-simulation-a380-scam-is-taking-a-step-further-dont-fall-for-it/#entry2914024 My favourite part is the fact, hard to underestimate, they have now employees from many US states, including Dubai! Not to mention the word 'Genuine' in their name. So genuine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrijan 193 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Where should this type of scam website be reported? I've seen quite a few fake development groups lately, but nobody has gone as far as "Genuine" simulations did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Reverse thrust on all four engines! Looks like they hacked the Wilco A380 code!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebksb123 99 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The description stand-alone is enough... "This is addon with Incredible features and genuine Simulated with the most accurate and ultra-realistic simulation and incredible disigning of the world's most popular airliner and also Airbus Officially Licensed. So get ready for flight by AIRBUS 380." incredible, genuine, accurate, ultra-realistic, incredible (again), popular ... ALL IN ONE SENTENCE. EDIT: sorry somehow my text copies came with dozens of links to the website... no spam intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will269 15 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I though they had been stopped. I interviewed Olli from NLS for the Avsim news page and he was a terrific guy. Hope he gets the support from the Simulation community because this is all NLS' hard work which is being hijacked and given a bad name by someone with no morals (and very poor technical writing skills) Sent from my Mobile thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhrpilot07 15 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Reverse thrust on all four engines! Looks like they hacked the Wilco A380 code!!! So, what do you recommend, where should we buy the WILCO A380? Certainly not on a homepage that is called "Genuine xy dot hacker dot com", right? I fear that not the experienced users like you n me are betrayed, but the newbies. There are online shops where you can buy the A380, and if a newbie wonders if he buys the right product, he should use this link: http://www.wilcopub.com/ Or, as said in my signature, ask me for a/c. MSFS experience since 2004. PS: Sag mal Emi, ich würde ja, aber Du kannst wahrscheinlich besser den Buchstabendreher hier im thread namen korrigieren. papa uniform romeo charlie hotel alpha sierra echo ... Etwas peinlich für weltoffene EDDL Piloten, und dann auch noch in capital letters, aber, kann jedem passieren. Mein Vater pflegte zu solchen Gelegenheiten den Spruch 'Das passiert in den besten Familien'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Haven't been able to access the AVSIM forums today. Anyone else facing the same problem? Maybe some DoS attack in retaliation of AVSIM warnings and discussions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Jeroen Doorman 1763 Posted January 28, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 28, 2014 Avsim has been having issues for me a couple of months already. It loads real slow or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli_NLS 8 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Avsim is down here, too... tried it first this morning and until now, no success I don't believe it stands in relation with the GS scam reportings. I doubt they have the ability to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPetroSS 542 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Even the images are unrelated to the product.....just plain cockpit images and 3D stuff. Thanks Emi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
