[Gaza07]

Im pretty sure this guy is selling pirate copys of phoenix
Link removed

Ive only just seen it so not emailed or reported it yet what do others think

[adieuk]

thats to cheap for a brand new copy of phoenix
and the usb lead is the wrong one
mine came in a box

[trexaddict]

something not quite right about that does not look like a phoenix dongle to me

[josh h]

the phoenix copy is useless without the correct dongle anyway!
reflex might work but phoenix wont!
dosent say he has loads of copy's so could be legit!

[Boggy]

£ 55 for a dodgy copy !! as he says good luck with your bidding. you will need it

ive just asked hin a question

[Gaza07]

I have emailed phoenix with the link maybe they will email him

[Grant85]

Sh*t now I wont be able to sell it!

A website I linked earlier had:

XTR/G4/G5/Aero Fly/Phoenix RC 3.0

People had actually purchased it and put good feedback..

Unfortuantly it's a reality and Im not all that shocked to be honest.. Anything can be bypassed and cracked.

Did you report it to anyone ebay or phoenix, these guys at phoenix have worked very hard to bring us this sim and dont deserve to be robbed,
I recall the late nights they spent altering code and coming on here for feedback to tweek it how we wanted it

10+ Years in IT tells me it's very unlikely that it's genuine software. Not many software providers supply discs in cheap CD sleeves and it looks like it has more than Phoenix which isn't normal.

If something is too good to be true, it usually is!

Very true Callum as it was only made by man/woman to begin with therefore can be cracked by man/woman. Unfortunately the world we live in today is one where people are constantly working to copy,crack things etc...and these are very intelligent people doing this.

Take the iphone for example I mean how many people have theirs jailbroken? I bet a few have.I spoke to a chap once and he said he has tomtom on his for FREE and said why pay £60 for that one app when he can get it for 'nowt' Thats just the way it is with most people these days as they don't wanna pay for the proper job.

I bet folks having a problem about this have at least one pirate copy of a dvd,cd,game etc at home or at least used i.e watched a copy film (which promotes piracy) ...So why is that ok but this isn't hmmm?! Not every one is 'squeeky clean'

Cheers Grant.

Exactly Grant..

The problem is. Even if I/we did report it.. Nothing would come of it. Okay.. Fair enough Phoenix could send them a Cease and Desist letter. But, It's not going to stop them producing or selling them.

its a old version with a switchable dongle with uses dip switchs to program the dongle ,thats why u can use it on reflex aswell .
seen these myself in HK last yr ,have reported to ebay just now .
this will not work with any version over 2.3 i think as the new software will not find the dongle

Unfortuantly.. This is not the case anymore with these newer dongles. Phoenix 3.0 is working with these dongles..

The thing is phoenix isnt windows or the latest movie its a flight sim that caters for a small niche market compared to other software, If this is allowed to just go unchecked and forces the the phoenix team to stop doing free updates or even stop updates completely what are you going to do then, At least some people can say I tried, just ignoring a problem doesnt mean its going to go away
