Cool.

:cool:

Maybe...its been 6 hours, no reply yet:confused:

it's seems a bit harsh, am I mistaken or are there not NG aircraft modelled in things like world of planes? how did they calm the NG lawyers?

and what about the upcoming F-14 in DCS

No.
Their are just asking the lawyers to force a court decision to stop any Il2-fan from speaking, writing, reading, listening or even thinking the words "Northrop", "Grumman" or "Northrop-Grumman" and/or their products without paying a huge amount of money (min 100.000 $) for each of thouse words.

@slip: would be nice to know what their answer to your question is.
I predict a 2-10 pages long one. :rolleyes:

Bongodriver...

DCS makes real military simulators, and like the others, have paid the royalty to N-G for the use of the likeness of their aircraft.

I was hoping he would have stated they no longer care about the old prop planes. Plus would have been nice to read a fee structure about the licensing...I scrubbed out my name to deter any psycho among you:-P

Just as I thought.

Pony up the cash and the Grumman birds and US Navy ships are OK to use.

I'm also betting the the "fee" is on a sliding scale. If you are a major publisher and are doing a console release it will be very very costly, if you are a minor publisher with a projection of smaller sales it will only be very costly.

And please don't think I'm gloating or happy about this. Far from it.

It's just that I live in "Realville" these days.

Thanks for the effort Slipball.

:cool:

Well if 1c ever did get the licensing, the extra money per copy I think most of us would not mind paying. With in reason that is, 5 or 10 bucks :grin:

As long as it was multiple aircraft I wouldn't mind...£5-£10 per aircraft and they can cram up their tail pipes... ;)
