Potential Piracy
Potential Piracy
I was on flightsim.com today and noticed a payware scenery for Dyess AFB. It also mentioned that AI was included. The AI included looked suspiciously like the NBAI B-1B, HTAI C-130, and HTAI C-21. Was this authorized, or someone looking to make a quick buck? https://store.flightsim.com/product/tea ... rettyPhoto

Re: Potential Piracy
They have permission from Nick. I even believe he was paid for the use of his B-1B. Don't know about Henry.

Re: Potential Piracy
They’ve certainly used Henry’s stuff before, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen reference to an agreement for that in their forums.
Re: Potential Piracy
I can confirm that they contacted Nick about his B-1 and that he would be paid for its use, per sale. I know this because he was naffed off that they never paid him a penny.
This was true as of the last time he mentioned it to me, which was about a year after it's release.

Re: Potential Piracy
Good checking though. I'm still confused on how ORBX was allowed the use of the converted HTAI single engine payware models for Australian AI only in the scenery packages, but not for use in North America traffic .bgls.

Re: Potential Piracy
Because they got specific permission from Henry to convert and distribute his payware only in the Australian AI package. You will notice that it isn't the entire package but only those models that Graham needed to do his paints and flight plans.Victory103 wrote: ↑29 Apr 2020, 00:28 Good checking though.

Re: Potential Piracy
Thanks Gavin, read up on their forums. I'm fine as a previous owner of the entire HTAI package and moved the models I needed over in P3D. Initially it was trying to figure out the "why" when I first installed the ORBX AU and NA GA traffic files.
