UTX In Prepare3d??

The current UTX products are licensed for entertainment use only with FSX.

Jeff

Hello,

May I enquire if there is any update as to your current licensing policy? as this post is over 12 months ago, I'm wondering if you have made any progress? Perhaps I can help with a suggestion of a disclaimer, so the many entertainment users of Prepar3D can benefit from this excellent product.

Regards

Thank you for a speedy reply Jeff I do hope you find a suitable solution.

Some other developers from the FSX community are offering products for Prepar3D namely iFly which is handled by Flight1 also. You will notice that they state for entertainment only. So there must be an acceptable entertainment use. Some are also being endorsed Directly by Lockheed Martin and posting in the news section of the Prepar3D website.

Carenado, Lionheartcreations, Iris, Wilco/Feel There, Aerosoft, Fly Tampa and Fsim just to drop a few names.

Good Luck for the future.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was simply said that contradictory statement because I have purchased Ifly's 737 for Prepar3D from Flight1tech and Ifly clearly states "IMPORTANT - This product is for home / academic use and is not licensed to be used for training, or any professional or commercial use." That is a contradiction isn't? where is the line drawn between Academic and Training? Do not both have the same meaning? Not to suggest that iFly are breaking Prepar3D's EULA because it's not my place to say so.

Nor to imply that if one or more developers will do all others should follow. I was curious because I did think there maybe a loop-hole somewhere that you may not have considered And it is quite clear that I was offering only a suggestion.

I accept your current licensing policy and find the current onslaught of so many statements from all these people a little bemusing. As if I personally had caused such great offence to ask a simple question. I believe I did ask the question in a polite manner and also that this is the place to ask such a question.

Of course I understand you have to replied to my question in such a manner to clearly state for the record for all to see. One reply was enough two is pushing home HARD your point of view and three is ridiculous to say the least.

Perhaps Mr Jim Rhoads can take his own pick of the buzzer sounds because his attitude needs adjusting especially for a site administrator! I do appreciate that sometimes life is frustrating but I am not the cause of any of his problems!

Anyway, I seemed to have caused a little commotion and I apologise for any misunderstandings.

P.S. here is another suggestion.

Why not arrange for commercial license agreements with your data vendors (Navteq, TeleAtlas/TomTom, etc). I am sure they will be willing to discuss it with you! Even if you need to pay extra and thus charge extra for a separate Prepar3D product. I would think it is possible to do so on a % of future profit basis so there would be no initial outlay of money.

To prove I have a sense of humour you can also assure the data providers that in no way would allowing the commercial use of their products be diminishing from their own market share as who in their right minds would load up a flight simulator to plan travelling routes on road, sea or air!
