You are aware that Gulfstream does not allow sim renditions of their aircraft, right?
I don't know this before.Why I can't model others except Gulfstream,I was trying to model it seveeal months ago and also found some gulfstream products on some sim webs.I like their avoinics.I have only pointed out something that has been common knowledge in the developer world for years.
Don't model Gulfstream. They WILL shut you down.
ORBX Models gulfstreams in their scenery, in addition, there are several ai models available for download from many flightsim sites. I think what they do not want is anyone profiting from their designs, so it may be understandable if they prohibit payware designers from modelling it...I don't know this before.Why I can't model others except Gulfstream,I was trying to model it seveeal months ago and also found some gulfstream products on some sim webs.I like their avoinics.
I have a framed "Cease and Desist" letter from their legal department, prompted solely by some WIP screenshots of a freeware GIV project I started many years ago...
In regard to the above post, it is curious (to me) that the act of posting images prompted a communication. Is there any possibility that you had expressed, perhaps in forum, a desire or intent to represent the product? Given that you are a well known and respected developer, not to say you are being watched, but that you may be held to a higher standard of scrutiny...I have a framed "Cease and Desist" letter from their legal department, prompted solely by some WIP screenshots of a freeware GIV project I started many years ago...
Same reason LM stripped Boeing from P3D, to forestall the, "hey my son just informed me that your 'simulation' of the 737 performs significantly slower, faster, smoother, jerkier, whatever than the actual 737, yet you have provided no disclaimer.." phone call.
In a very real way, that is the sincerest of complements. I don't have anyone looking over my shoulder, sniff..Rick, who knows? This occurred back in 2002 shortly after I received the "Developer's Award for Aircraft Design Excellence" from Flightsim.com (which not coincidently is sharing wall space next to the aforementioned framed C&D letter).
It was likely a combination of the posted screenshots with the thread title of "GIV WIP" that triggered the C&D process. However, it should be noted that it was not General Dynamics' legal team who made the initial discovery.
There are several legal firms who's entire practice centers on finding possible infringements, and then notifying the affected company's legal department with their findings. They are on retainer from many companies. Their minimum wage human 'droids' do nothing all day but scour the World Wide Wasteland looking for fresh cow patties, er... I mean "infringements"...
