You are allowed to port cars from older to newer titles made by SimBin, but not the other way around, or to titles by other companies.) But extracting the models from one game to another is usually "taboo" if not outright illegal.

Lines (c) and (f) aside, you can't get by (a):

"(a) Make or distribute copies of the Software or documentation, or any portion thereof, except as expressly provided in this Agreement."

The models are definitely a portion of the software by anyone's definition. Putting them in the mod for download is distributing them.


You can always ask permission and see......
Not a problem - I will simply use the SOF models as references instead. There are already several models for the game (including U-9) that are either scratchbuilt or incorporate small numbers of SH4 parts.
