Hi,

 

Our team of artists, coders and SMEs are looking to see if anyone knows what the status quo is on aircraft royalties in DCS?

 

For example, is every manufacturer of vehicles in Combined Arms advised? Are permissions given?

 

And the more in depth models such as DCS:A:10, Mig 21 etc. Do they all have understandings?

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

Not much in depth information was given from wags.

 

Im curious to hear from other if possible. The reason I ask is some will not pay royalties and other will from what I understand.

 

Any guidance from past experiences would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Thanks Buzzles.

 

I have PM'd some peeps and the left and right of these arcs are really wide open which is interesting to say the least.

Royalties need to be paid to ED, also if u create content for 3rd party modules.

 

From: Matt Wagner

You will first need to submit the first three missions of the campaign for a quality review.

 

If it is good quality, we can then discuss a license agreement and royalty share.

 

Send the first three missions and an outline of the entire campaign to Matt at matt@fighter-collection.com

 

Thanks

 

I got that reply by posting a Support question.

 

regards,

I understand royalties are to be paid to ED. No question.

 

However! If we make a model. Lets pick a B-52 for example. Do we need to pay the manufacturer of that real aircraft?

 

I know some guys may have. Some do not and refuse to.

 

Thanks

I think licensing is an issue between the module developer and the original manufacturer. Get your lawyers out and start negotiating or finding ways around a law suit.

You don't need a license with a manufacturer, unless they directly contributed to your work.

Thanks,

 

We are weighing putting so much effort into this and potentially having someone give us a lawsuit later.

 

Thank you for your input RUDEL.

The best way to avoid that is to consult a lawyer, first.
