license restriction

[Cruachan]

Hello all,

 

I was wondering if someone could explain to me why some of the models from CGTrader have a licensing restriction that states the model can't be used in flight simulations. It looks like the model could be used as a prop in a video, but that you could not use it as a base to build a mod.

 

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just trying to learn some of the basics. Here is an example (yes, of a plane many would not likely care to see built):

 

https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/aircraft/military/f-102

 

The site says, "This model is developed with high accuracy level. It is not game ready and are NOT to be used for Flight Simulations. Usage in other game applications is permitted."

 

I suppose what I'm asking is, wouldn't this be a great place to start a mod, or do people always start from scratch.

 

Thanks

it's easier to start from scratch than to take a HIgh Polygon Model and try and poly reduce it without losing quality.

 

CGTrader is also known for users illegally re-selling Models they Purchased from another User or Models that have been Illegally Ripped from Other Game Engines.

Thanks SkateZilla,

 

I'm following the tutorials for building mods and this issue was just confusing to me. I get your comment about polys though. I'll tell you one thing though, I'm starting to learn why these things take so long to build.

 

Cheers,

MilViz develops professional aircraft simulations under another engine, that's why they stipulate you cannot use their models in Flight Sims.
