Therefore Ubisoft decided to remove all offending planes and replace them with more acceptable generic models from companies that didn't mind them being used or were defunct. Hence you get Avro Lancasters and Brewster buffalos and I think the torp/dive is modelled on the Vindicator, may wrong about that though.
The Devs knew full well what aircraft they should use, it you notice in the intro movie there is a PBY Catalina.

Where did you heared this? It sounds like bull.. sorry , but I don't belive this could be true. Those aircrafts are not manufactured any more.
What you wrote could be true in a moder racing game wich use existing sport car modells, but not with WWII games and military aircrafts.
Or do you honestly think that the 1.000.000 + 1 WWII games nowdays all pay to all manufacturers ?? |
Oh believe it. I cant say its the case for SHIV, im not privy to that info, but do believe companys would place such restrictions on devs.
For instance, i believe "BumbleBee" wasnt a volskwagen bettle in the Transformers Movie, because Volkswagen didnt want their car used as a fighting machine. Flight sims tend to not show the crashes because the aircraft manufactures dont want their planes to be associated with crashes, etc, etc.
Everybody wants their cut and/or wants to protect themselves from some preceieved negative image...their laywers are doing a good job of finding stuff to do in order to justifying their presence and high retainers.
