I am of the opinion that N-G's trademark claims to any product produced for the U.S. government before or during WW2 is unsustainable, for a number of reasons I've already mentioned.

It also appears that their IP policies are inconsistent. They allow trademark free use of pictures of their past products, but not 3d computer images or simulations? How is a 3d image not art? Why should use of that art in a video game be any different from a static picture of that object in an old-school tabletop game?

I'm not a lawyer and I'm not sure how one would start a campaign to overturn crap like N-G is doing. There are a number of petition sites, which could be used to bring attention to the issue, but I'm not sure how to frame it.

Although I can't speak for Dux, I imagine his comment about George Bush Senior was the tip off that this probably wasn't a political statement but rather a personal one. George Bush Senior was a TBM Avenger pilot. He was even shot down in one.

The first two out of most likely four Type 91 torpedos. Completely new meshes due to the loss of all Japanese ordnance work by means of a faulty HDD.

Zorin, send me the models for review. And please let's keep this thread related to 4.12 dev. updates. If you want, start a new thread for loadouts modelling or keep the information flow over PMs / emails.

Hi people.

Time after time, this NG question comes to light. Again, as a lot of people, including guys from the TD said, there's no way to change this situation.

After all, I don't think it's a good idea mess with those people. They have strong ties with the US Goverment, and, well, their business is... basically, sell weapons that kill lots of peoples every year. I won't touch this.

I'm with TD in this question; give it a rest. Besides that, there are so many stuff that can be created to IL2 yet. We could really focus on that.

Best regards.

Like the most produced aircraft ever?
I just love this aircraft, it is a amazing piece of machine which had a good role during the war.
