SCS have chosen to permit, or at least not challenge, additional playable platforms in SC, so why not create the add-on for SC and avoid direct confrontation with a very creative company who should be encouraged to produce more excellent sims for us all to enjoy?
That is the most brilliant thing I've heard in a long time. What if the next big project wasn't a PCU for DW, but a PCU for SCXIIc? Starting with adding playable surface and air....

I'm guessing SCS would stop tolerating* SCU/PCU at that point and shut it down, but hey, I like this out of the box thinking!


*BTW, I don't think SCU was so much illegal as it was in the grey area. They hadn't made their wishes clear on that point, and in retrospect they decided it was a bad idea and that it wouldn't be allowed for DW. Calling SCU illegal, I think, is unfair to the SCX crew.
