man, because there was a secret agreement between UBI, 1C and NG, means most propably NG got already money for the already in PF existing NG stuff !!!
hence the delay of the PacificFighters release - and if there would have not been an agreement , it would have benn never released....................
but sure, UBI and 1C dont want pay more money to put more NG stuff in its game.

anyone has some datas about this Gebauer MG ?
as it used the same 12,7mm SAFAT round it most propably had the same V0 put it had perhaps a higher rate of fire - as it was driven by the engine crankshaft.............

No I just thought, maybe, someone could ask.

If there already are violations - then we better don't.

Ok, thanks for clearing that one up - Such a shame really. So, did the boys at Microsoft also pay up?

Exactly the point. This patches are still released under 1C logo, copyright and supervision, which makes them subject of the agreement between 1C and NG. Agreement includes both paid and free add-ons.

Most definitely they did. The amount, they demanded and received is something like 6 digit sum. Which was sliced from 1C share (Ubi escaped unhurt, as far, as I heard, so don't quote me on that

).

Exactly.

How does it affects SoW and it's possible future add-ons is still unclear. We will see later.

Apparently, one of the NG chairman was also a Microsoft higher authority at the time. Don't know, if it connected in any way.

And I don't really know, if IL-2 success really had any affect on CFS-3 sales...

Most probably this things are totally unrelated.

Is that true?

JG53Frankyboy · #**1288** 07-20-2010, 07:01 PM

sure !!

Okay TD, stepping away from N-G issues, here's a question I hope you may me able to answer.

Is there an easy way to add an option in FMB, that allows users to add custom skins to static aircraft? I say that as I mean without cheating?

To be able to put aircraft on a base and then just 'skin' them as you do with flyable and AI aircraft would be a huge advantage. Is this possible for 4.11 if not already considered for 4.10?

Secondly, is there a list yet (I'm sure there is) of additions that are expected to be in 4.10? I do try and keep up with the updates, but sometimes I miss some.

Cheers, MP

+a million

This would be massive for mission builders.

Thanks for the update TD-R.E.2000 looking great!
