We have been over this a million times.

A publisher that is in business for a profit, must have permission of the actual copyright holders to use their content, be that visual or sonic. If they don't have this permission they are open to legal actions against them.

Jafa has never once revealed his sources for the sounds in his mods. When asked he immediately goes defensive and starts to deflect the questions, or simply drops out of the conversation.

One can only conclude that he has ripped these original sound files from copyrighted sources, most likely one of Microsoft's flight sims, and is using them illegally. Not really a big deal for private modders as they are so far under the radar no one will notice. But if a large, global publisher like 1C or UBI does it, then the lawyers will take action.

End of thread.

I agree with you El. hopefully exterior and some interior sounds are not final
