I have seen a recent release on an addon freeware site. The user seemed to have followed this thread but of course it has issues such as gauges, handling and bugged gears etc.
The user remained anonymous probably because they never asked the original creator for permission to release it.
I really do hope you guys refrain from following the same path, redistributing without permission is unethical and I really do not want to see bugged aircraft flooding the community. Just gives a bad look.
