[SCAM] I am getting a lot of readers either posting or messaging me on Facebook, via email, and even via SMS regarding this A380 product by an outfit called Genuine Simulations. Their site is claiming a soon to be released A380 product is an officially licensed product on behalf of Airbus. I have seen similar setups before and in my own personal opinion, in it's current state, it does not look legit. Their cover appears to be a very poorly Photoshoped aircraft image with the Airbus logo apparently removed from the fuselage superimposed on an artificial background. FS development teams do not typically promote themselves this way. We have also confirmed all images are of the NLS A380. They now claim the product is released for $89USD.
ADX Update>> Warn your friends! This is a scam! Do not purchase!In a similar instance, we discovered this scam a while back. See link below:

Update: Next Level Simulations has responded:
"I can't believe that Genuine Simulation is carrying on posting screenshots of OUR work on their website - claiming its theirs. Guys, this is some serious rip-off shit they are trying to do here. And people still believe its their work and comment on these pics. I already feel bad for all the people who will buy this non-existent product they are going to sell... I already notified Facebook to put down this criminal act but nothing has happened so far... I am really angry right now."
"SUCCESS!! Facebook has acted and forced Genuine Simulation to remove all screenshots from their Facebook page! THANKS to all of you for the support!!"
-NLS
NLS Facebook page!
Genuine Simulation Facebook page! All content and copyrighted screenshots have been removed and replaced with the graphic below.
I really hope nobody falls for this...

When asked about sales via their Facebook page, Genuine Simulations replied:
"In reply to your comments about how to sell we will release our product Based on Limited sales and Limited time frame To prevent of copy. Product Details will Be announced later."
Limited Sales? Limited time frame? Interesting. I also understand the primary domain in located in Iran. Now with NLS stating that the VC previews are of their own work, I am very curious where this issue will go. One thing is for sure, there are a lot of folks commenting on the GS Facebook page and are seemingly excited about the project. On a quick visit to the NLS Facebook page, you can clearly see the same shots posted back in 2011.

As a lawyer, I must attest that your provocative little set of notion here is a clause for a lawsuit. It would be wise if you removed it asap.
100% fake. not first, not last. or there is maybe a new Abacus-like developer?
If I remember last top planes like PMDG Boeing 777, Aerosoft Airbus A320/321 or Majestic's Dash 8 Q400 - they are only for FSX, not for FSX and very old FS2004...! :]
Btw. We still waiting for some good A380... Any volunteers? :)
A genuine fake! Surely a fraud. Be carefull
wait....so what ur saying is this is all a scam? Who does that?
Something smells fishy. Thats all.
As an English professor I ascertain that you're a phony, as "provocative little set of notion" is bogus lawyer speak. It would be wise of you to heed writing such rubbish here.
In a more positive note, Razbam is set to release the metro any minute now.
But we will get a PA 28 from A2A for sure.
Well who ever they are I hope their programming skills are better then their spelling and grammar skills.
Something is definitely fishy. There are lots of grammatical errors on their single page website.
As a chainsaw mechanic I ascertain that you're both full of sh*t, firstly with the "provocative little set of notion" and also "It would be wise of you to heed writing such rubbish here".
You can "heed a warning" or you might "heed advice", but you don't "heed writing" (something). If you're an English professor I'd suggest you're an unemployed one - or should be.
...and on the 380, obviously a scam, it's good that it's exposed as such.
Don't worry guys they posted a VC preview on their Facebook page.....Too bad it's the horrible FS9-FSX portover for the Project Airbus A380...
Could you show the VC?
Guys, what do you think about new screenshots? https://www.facebook.com/genuinesimulation
Do you remember Next Level Simulation? The screenshots the same...

FLMAO!
They simply stole the in-game screenshots from the now cancelled NLS 380. Wow...
What a bunch of scamming scumbags.
Maybe next level sold it to them as nextlevel canceled their project.
given the NLS response, that seems a little unlikely...
A
The scam keeps on going.. flag their fb page until it's taken down automatically.
On a side note.. NLS's A380 looks quite amazing.. shame they stopped developing it.. I'd say, at least hand it off to Aerosoft! :)
Peace and love, peace and love!
ITS NLS HIS FAULT!!! they generate the hype and they fooled the whole fsx com. so no wonder anyone will profite from.
It is an oppurtunity for NLS now to continue with their A380.
The community wants an badly an A380.
The people are willing to buy.
@ LOOK
Yeah...it's the fault of someone else that people are stealing material and trying to scam people out of money.
You must work for Genuine Simulations. Either that or you're a total moron.
Probably both.
To everybody saying, "Too bad the NLS is canceled." They resumed work on it on the last day of December.

Karma will get them. Very bad karma. HAHA SHAME GENUINESFAKEIMSHIT
Reading the blurb on their website, it states:
Flight Model - Engine and flight modeling that is within 5% of the actual Boeing aircraft performance charts, including single-engine operations.
An Airbus flight model based on Boeing numbers? Wow, they must have put a whole lot of effort into this one.....

"Excellent Team. Cheers Everyone"
His comment on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/genuinesimulation
Maybe involved with them. Not surprised. lol
@Everyone: notice it's an updated post. Most of the comments are almost a month old.
This obvious rip off is being investigated by NLS. Meanwhile, all should go to the fake FB page and hit the report button for 'scam'. If done enough times, FB will take it down.
Whoever doesn't believe "Genuine" is not a scam, please go to their web page image 16 (http://www.genuinesimulation.com/D16.jpg). On this REAL LIFE image below the center display you will see a note "Testing for the next level simulations"... hahaha.. How pathetic..
To all the naysayers....
PLEASE, purchase (or rather attempt to purchase) the aircraft, and write a review of it we can all enjoy!
Besides the fact that they stole the NLS images, compare the product features of the PMDG 777-200LR http://www.precisionmanuals.com/pages/product/777LRF.html
to the product features of the "Genuine A380. Got it?
Please Dan, you are absolutely authorized by us to do so... Good luck

Daniel Gilbert is his name that's behind this scam.
See: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/433209-the-genuine-simulation-a380-scam-is-taking-a-step-further-dont-fall-for-it/
So Dan.. how's it going? You'll get VERY BAD KARMA VERY SOON.
All scammers should have been swallowed. lol
Guess I'll spell out my comment regarding purchasing and writing a review, for those of you who take things way to literally:
sar·casm noun \ˈsär-ˌka-zəm\
: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny
If you still can't comprehend: I meant it as a joke. I fully see it as a scam.
Addendum to my post from earlier this day:
They even forgot to change the Boeing to Airbus in the "Flight Model" description
