Sorry., and take it down, as we would for any other copyright infringement. We ways end up with this solution. Simples. I think we would be safer not having real life airliner liveries. I recall that MSFS 2002 (or was it 2004?) used fictional liveries, presumably to avoid this entire issue. I don't know what FS-X does. In the case of airliner liveries there is a history of them being used in flight simulators. IANAL, but AFAIK the fact that they have been used for a number of years without any enforcement from the trademark owner can be considered precedent in court that the owner is not that fussed about the use and makes enforcement more difficult in the future. I just had a quick look on avsim.com to see if add-on aircraft are being sold with real life liveries, and they are. I'd be interested to find out what licensing they have, if any. Nevertheless, if I was a commercial FS aircraft developer or commercial FG distributor, I'd be quite nervous about including trademarked liveries. As Martin points out Red Bull is very careful about their trademark licensing - I guess it's because they are very much a brand who sponsors a whole load of liveried products, teams etc. on the back of a rather sweet caffeinated drink (IMO it's a bit like Buckfast without the alcohol ;) ) As I said above, I think asking for permission is the right approach here, and I'd be interested in the response. -Stuart -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

Hi, My development of the Bell AH-1W Cobra is far enough along where I feel it is time to commit it to GIT, especially in time for the new release.

Unless it is clear that distributing this trademarked item is legal I propose not to include the livery into FlightGear GIT. Otherwise legal action against FlightGear could be filed.

We've had issues in the past where people have not understood what having something added to the main FG repository means and which has caused problems later. Firstly, to have this added to the git repository, it must be released under the GNU GPL v2. On the forum, you've stated that you are only going to release this under some Creative Commons license: (http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4t=10130start=60#p105539) Have you now changed your mind, and are _all_ the authors of this happy for it to be released under the GPL? Secondly, are all the works on which it is based GPL compatible (sounds graphics etc.) ? I notice that there are some posts in the forum regarding using an FDM from another FG model, as well as some GPL sounds. If this is the case, then unless the original author has agreed to license the FDM/sounds under a different license, you must release your work under the GPL v2, and cannot simply decide to give your model a different license (See the GPL section 2 - your work is a derivative of their FDM/sounds etc). Apologies if this is all obvious, and preaching to the choir, but it is very important. -Stuart -- Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Hi Jack,
At first glance I see a problem (very common) with the colors of the 3D
model. Dark parts (that is not on the sun side) a really too dark.
The reason is that ambient values are not equals to rgb values. That's
due to the default colors setting in most 3D moleling software. FG need
to be feed with rgb and amb colors to be the same to render correct
darkness.
You will find bellow a wide used script that replace automaticaly every
values found in the files given as arguments:
Code of color-change.sh :
#! /bin/sh
for f in $@ ; do
sed -i.before-color-change
's,\(MATERIAL.*\)rgb\(.*\)amb\(.*\)emis\(.*\)spec\(.*\)shi\(.*\)trans\(.*\)$,\1rgb\2amb\2emis\4spec\5shi\6trans\7,1'
$f
if ! cmp ${f} ${f}.before-color-change /dev/null 21 ; then
echo $f has changed colors!
fi
done
Usage :
ale...@duck:~/flight/fg-data/git-head/fgdata/Aircraft/A-10/Models$

Hope it helps,

Re: [Flightgear-devel] AH-1 Merge Request
Hi Stuart, Have you now changed your mind, and are _all_ the authors of this happy for it to be released under the GPL? Yes, I have spoken with Simon and we have decided that we will release under the GPL v2 in order to get it in GIT. At first we were concerned about FlightProSim stealing it, but I have better ways to fight back than using the CC license. Secondly, are all the works on which it is based GPL compatible (sounds graphics etc.) ? Yes. The sounds are actually real in flight recordings from both a UH-1H and an AH-1S. I have a friend that flies a UH-1H for SAR, and he provided the recordings that he took under the GPL. As far as the AH-1S sounds, I asked the permission of the author of a video of a flight in the AH-1S for the sounds and he agreed to their use under the GPL. See: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4t=10130start=90#p105979 Everything in the package I have sent is under the GPL.
