Not so much a law, as much as it was the a$$clowns at Northrop Grumman wanting massive royalties to include their aircraft, and aircraft made by companies they have bought out over the years. Before video games were the cash cows they are now they didn't care about their aircraft being used (See sims from the 90's like Pacific Air War). Ubi and Oleg didn't want to shell out the money, so they didn't include it.
Northrop Grumman is a huge monster of a company, and they have the legal means to make sure anyone who uses their "Intellectual/Real Property" wish they didn't. Plus they probably own a ton of politicians as well, so you know it's going to go their way in court.
