Ok just thought I'd bring this to all addon maker's attention.
Today I received an email from the CEO of the company that manufactures the real Tiger Gunboat. It was about the use of copywritten material about their product. At first I though 'oh s***', lawsuits, imprisonment and tons of other things. I explained my position and how the use of material was not intended to breach copywrite and the gunboats were created because I liked the concept.
His reply was positive, and I now have pemission to post what I like about the Tigers. He also has become quite interested in the OFP game as well. And is willing to provide me with more technical information about his product which could be implemented in the addon.
That is good news for me, but it gave me a wake up call on the possibility of legal action if we don't seek permission to use material.. I think that is the reason why BIS didn't make the BMW? Aston Martin? (correct me if I am wrong). I can't imagine Boeing, Ford, or the US Armed Forces suing.. but you never know.
So expect a newer version of the Tiger soon with more features. Cheers
Bob
