LOL look at this

[dali]

Porrima Simulations is a joint venture between Eventuality UK and VEAO Simulations. The two companies first came together as part of the design process for the Breitling flight simulator, with VEAO developing the Breitling Jet to use whilst they held their South East Asia tour.

 

Through the joint venture, Porrima Simulations is now actively using Eventuality’s and VEAO’s network, simulator resources and solutions to provide the high level of detail and systems compliance afforded to the market leading synthetic training solutions.

 

they were not capable to properly finish a DCS plane, and they claim to be able to pull this out? Yeah right...

[javelina1]

Interesting... (agreed)

[rrohde]

Maybe they're after investor money by the way of "overpromising"? Not sure if that's a thing though...

I think it's pretty clear now, isn't it? All these years, as DCS devs, they weren't even capable to finish their only module released.

 

They lack competence IMHO.

LOL. In before thread closed. :lol: Since VEAO has decided to leave DCS, can we just keep this section active as the official shit-talking subforum? Come on Nineline, you know you want to join us! :thumbup:

Well, in my opinion VEAO produced only scrap for DCS. I wonder, who wants a joint-venture with them? :doh:

That is funny! :megalol:

Well, some ED action mentioned by Chizh on the Russian forum (thanks to Google translate):

 

Hawk has been removed from the ED webstore:

 

ED will require the source code for all 3rd party devs:

 

All of this is reassuring that ED is doing the right thing here.

I can see a lot of potential dev teams balking at the requirement to provide all source code to ED.

I'm a little surprised. I would expect some sort of an escrow provision, in the event of a 3rd party going out of business, etc. then again, I'm not a lawyer, but I have stayed at Holiday Inn's from time to time... ;)

[Jumbik]

They do not need the source code for every update, they just need a legal way how to acquire it if 3rd party gets awol. So I suppose a change in the contract will take place.

[Captain Orso]

You simply have to stipulate in the 3rd-Party contract, that if the 3rd-Party quits, ceases to exist (because the owners died and no one wants to take over the company), or goes bankrupt, that the source code becomes the property of ED. Such contracts are not that uncommon.

 

From what I read, they are dissolving the company, which means they might be selling the company assets. Maybe ED might be interested in purchasing the code for the right price. But then again, the code might be so bad that it's basically worthless, and it would be better to dump it and start over, in which case there would be no point in purchasing the code.

 

There are so many details hidden from the general public that I don't think anyone without inside information can do anything but speculate.

[Mars Exulte]

Odd... perhaps DCS was a poor attempt to get street cred in the dev world, kind of like when I tell girls I'm a pilot because I built a cockpit rofl

[Jester986]

Who's to say ED doesn't already have some sort of contract clause in place to take over code? I was reading a dev from another sim complaining about such a thing and that it was why they decided not to develop for DCS. Who knows if it's true. But I'm glad ED holds their 3rd parties to a higher standard than the free for all of other sims. I know this is nit a great example... But go browse the garbage people are paying money for in fsx...

It will no doubt already be in the agreement (contract) that if a developer cannot fulfil their end of the agreement that ED will acquire the code for customer protection and/or legal protection. Who knows but that's what I would ensure as a software developer using third party's !!

If you ask ED nicely they might make a lawyer module for you guys lol

DCS: Courtroom ($60)

DCS Court Assets Pack provides judge, jury and prosecutor ($25)

DCS: Appeals coming soon!

Lol ... "Asking nicely" is not a proper legal precedent for a Lawyer Module; try .... "... File a claim with ED for a Lawyer module" :megalol:
