Re: [Flightgear-devel] ..IP and litigation risks, was: AH-1 Merge Request
Heiko, As I've said before, this simply isn't true! Red Bull are very accommodating, I've spoken to them before about this on a commercial product and they required no licensing agreement at all, simply an email from myself saying that we weren't marketing it as a Red Bull product, simply a product that had a Red Bull livery. In fact if anyone wants I'll dig out the old contact and see if they are still there and would be willing to make a statement about FG's use.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] ..IP and litigation risks, was: AH-1 Merge Request
To throw something into the mix here: I've actually got experience of dealing with RedBull regarding the use of their logos and IP in Flight Simulation. Several years ago I contacted them for an old Payware project and they were most supportive, provided an email stating that as long as nowhere we claimed that they endorsed the product then they saw it all as good publicity. I'm sure they'd do something similar here, as would many companies. In fact there is only two companies that I'm aware of, who have caused issues in the FS community, that was a large American airline who requested a VA stop using their name, and got quite aggressive about it, and a well known Bizjet manufacturer who flatly refuse to grant any permission for any of their aircraft to be represented, and will go to great lengths to stop people making a product out of it. There's lots of history of probably most Aviation related companies being contacted by FlightSimulation enthusiasts/3rd party developers/ etc over the past few years and getting very positive results for doing so, in some cases huge gains as well.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Suggestion: Using new release for advertising to attract sound engineers
Erik, Sorry if my reply wasn't clear, like I said I was in a bit of a rush, probably should have waited until later. I have no intention, at this stage, of changing the entire sound engine. What I should have said is that I'd like to add a lot more functionality to the way in which we use and hear sounds within FlightGear. Just like a lot of things, it won't be to everyones taste, but just as an example I'd like to see an aircraft parked at a small grassfield strip, with the engine off and canopy open and to be able to hear the wind blowing through the trees, if there's enough wind at ground level to be blowing through trees. Who knows, perhaps a bit of bird song? Sitting on the deck of a moving carrier with engines off and canopy open I think we should be able to hear the throb of the carriers engines and, possibly, the crashing of the waves. On an airliner I think it would be good to be able to have the option of hearing the cabin briefings during pushback. I was just making the point (I admit now, rather badly) that I think there could be so much more that sounds add to FlightGear, than they currently do, and that I'd like to try and make: - it easier to do so - a repository of GPL files that can be used by those wishing to create new sounds - more widely known that sounds can add something to the experience. I already have a small repository of files for use which I've published on the forums (standard Boeing and Airbus cockpit sounds, some generic click, swish, buzz etc style sounds. I've also created a GPL Spoken Voice generator which produces the kind of Warning and Altitude Callout type stuff that some people might like to add to their airliners, and puts them in a little Wav file, then outputs the fx bits ready to copying into a sound.xml file. Which I'd like to think is useful to some, and will encourage them to experiment with adding sounds to their aircraft. Hope i've explained my intentions a little better now.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Suggestion: Using new release for advertising to attract sound engineers
Sorry to jump in here quickly, don't have time to formulate a full reply now as have to pop out but I shall later. It has always, since I joined the FG community, been my goal to overhaul the FG sound engine. My commercial background is as a professional Flight Simulator Sound Developer. In years gone by I co founded what was the worlds largest (at the time) sound studio dedicated to aviation sounds and recordings. We worked mainly on the MSFS platform, and some other professional simulators. Including the FSX Acceleration release. I've got literally several Tb of raw recordings on many, many hard disks and backup media, all of which I own full rights to and am more than happy to release the majority of it as GPL. I am right now going through and cataloging it all, something which has taken many months to do. I have a full set of professional recording equipment which has been bought specifically for use in an aviation environment, as well as many contacts at airports around the world who have let me record there previously. In the past I have also coded entire sound engines for games, including things like implementations of sound cones and environmental triggers (running streams/waterfalls/road noises/airport background noises) For a few months myself and another professional sound engineer (although only a recent flight sim convert) have been working in the background trying to enhance the default FG sounds considerably, and adding a lot more new ones as well. I just wanted you to know that there are some people out there working on it, and it isn't entirely dead in FG. If I get time I shall post a small teaser video of the work so far, and my ideas and implementations on the coding side too, only if anyone is interested of course. All the best, Alex On 11 Dec 2010, at 19:25, kreuzritter2000 wrote: Hello to everyone, Today i had an idea about how to get more people with knowledge about sound effects. So far as i can see this, the thing flightgear lacks most at the moment is a wide variety of sound effects and sound files. FlightGear has many developers that work on the source code, 3d models, scenery, textures and visual effects but the amount of people that is working on sound files is very small. And one of the major reason why this is that way is in my opinion the reason, that people who has that knowledge about sound engineering or the abtility to record aviation specific sounds don't know, that their knowledge could be usefull for FlightGear. Most people still think, that creating simulations/games is only something about programming and this is, as you all know, untrue. So to change that i suggest to use the next relase for advertising to specificaly attract people with that knowledge and the capability to record sound effects and create them. This could be done by putting a text like We urgently need people with knowledge how to record and create sound effects for FlightGear. directly on the splash screen of FlightGear, so people who has that knowledge can see that when they start FlightGear to fly/play. Of course using the splash screen for this could also be used to attract other people with other special knowledge about special topics where FlightGear still needs developers. The topic sound effects and sound files is only one suggestion that came into my mind. When it comes to recording sound effects especially people who are working on airports or with airplanes could be very usefull, because they work directly at a place where sounds, that might be needed for a flight simulator, can be heard and much more important recorded. BTW, the realase notes itself could be also very used for advertising to attract new people for topics of development where persons with special outstanding abilities in this area are still needed. I think when news websites write about a new relase of flightgear they will also add informations like FlightGear project is looking for people to create sound files.. when they know that, that the FlightGear project is really looking for such people. So to let news magazins know that, putting this in the release notes/announcement would be quite helpful. What do you think about using the splash screen and new version announcments for advertising to attract new developers?

[Flightgear-devel] OpenRadar Adoption
Hi All, After reviving an interest in Java, after finding a book in the hospital library during a recent unscheduled stay, I have decided that OpenRadar is a project I'd like to see updated and advanced, and I'd really like to give it a go. I've spent a few days picking it apart and settling it in with my IDE I'm trying to do as much research on it as possible, hard to find anything though in the mailing list archives and forums etc. I was wondering if there was anyone on here who could shed some light on how it was left and what the goals of the project were etc? some obviously may be defunct now etc and If I can get as much an understanding as possible at the start it will hopefully avoid wasting time as it goes on. My first step was going to be getting a repository set up for it on gitorious, unless there are any objections to such? Anyone who can help with history, advice or even lending a hand will be more than welcome.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Official
Things have certainly changed. Back in 1995 I was helping to run a Virtual American Airlines and after 4 or so months of operating actively (FS95 it was!) we got a letter stating we had to shut down immediately or start paying licensing costs, which were thousands per day if I recall correctly. However in 1996 several UK based airlines were asked about their opinion on VA's using their logos and representations of their aircraft. An answer similar to the one quoted by Nathanael was given. It was generally interpreted that although they had to object, as long as no money was being made out of it then they would turn a blind eye. I'm not sure how this stands for commercial developers. I used to record sounds from aircraft all round the world with the permission of airlines and their handlers, it was always under the understanding that no names would be mentioned, only the aircraft type, apart from a few Scandinavian types who were more than happy. I think for GPL software such as FlightGear there are no problems whatsoever, nobody makes any money out of it so what would be gained? The only problems we might have if people were to use FG to record videos or screenshots of Airliners in liveries crashing into eachother/buildings/places etc or being shot down etc. Then splashing them all over the net, I can understand a problem there but for general simulation I'd say we're fine.

BUT a few things just stand in the way: OpenTTD is released under GPL, there is no money behind OpenTTD, so in fact there is nothing they could archieve with taking OpenTTD to court. what i want to express: Airlines will most likely be very familiar with Flightgear. They will very much know that liveries exist, and that these are distributed under GPL compatible lisences. they probably have larger legal departments and know everything they need to know about such a project. and there is probably a very good reason why they did not contact Flightgear before. Generally you can wait until you receive a notice, before needing to take action - some companies even risk that - and there is usually a lot more money to be gotten than with Flightgear or other GPL released projects. greets Nathanael Rebsch Out of curiosity, a few years ago I contacted American Airlines legal dept in charge of trademarks and asked if their livery could be used on aircraft made available for or with FlightGear. The short answer is, no, they won't permit it. By US law, trademarks *must* be actively protected by their holders or they become common and unprotected in the eyes of the law. With that in mind, they really have no choice but to officially refuse permission. However, reading between the legal weasel-words in their response and having had a glimpse into how the real world operates, you could put their AA logo on a nice, shiny aircraft model available for download and they will most likely turn their heads and look away. Overlay a vulgar work on top of their logo on your plane and you'll get a CD letter as soon as they find out about it. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Excellent idea and one I think many will appreciate. I haven't had time to look

Does this reset with every MP session, or is it easy to clear the list either
selectively or in its entirety?

Once the source change is committed (and I've got a working git clone

that
