I was simply browsing at http://www.avsim.com when I just saw something that made me really angry. Apparently someone that goes by the named Michael Joerg claimed one my favorite and my 2nd repaint as his own. The Qatar A319! The only change he has done was to remove the small German flag out of the tail and change the registration of the airplane. I wouldn’t be angry if he was honest and mentioned that the original is made by me. I wouldn’t mind the changes. But I do mind that my name is not mentioned anywhere.
This is just a notice. I do not expect from PA anything I just wanted to mention that because it just seemed fair.
If anyone was to check, search the file at avsim.com qatar_a319.zip
And my repaint is at http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=146994
Thank you for your time.

Re: Hard work stolen.
Unfortunately this happens all the time - I usually contact AVSIM directly and CC the contact address for whoever uploaded the file in question.

Hey Tom.
It happens all the time?? I am really sad about it. It’s the first time that I see my work being copied. And I am especially sad because that was my 2nd ever repaint (and it was a complicated repaint for a rookie) and also had your color recommendations (which I was very proud of and honored)!
I have sent an email to the person that uploaded the file expressing my feelings and also sent an email to AVSIM if they could remove the file.
