As you can see, more or less everything short of new/added playable platforms is Ok! To make it more clear, changes in the DB, new textures and models, new sounds and so on is alright. Only when you add a new playable platform regardless of how you do it are you stepping out of bounds. The only thing that is unclear (but I think SCS is Ok with it) is adding a different type of an already existing platform. For example an 688 Flight I or an Indian Kilo.

It not the legal document is simply conversation of two friends.
The legal document on a disk - EULA.

Its an official statement in a public forum made by a representative of SCS in his capacity as such. While not a legal document per se its enough to work with and it doesn't contradict the EULA. I would guess ML could add a note on this too ...

-"Its an official statement in a public forum..."

But not on an official site of the game developer.
Besides, it can be the individual point of view - JC.
From the legal point of view - that is on a disk and is first on the importance by the document.

>> My only point was if it wasnt for sub sim and people with a comitment to realism that has made mods such as LWAMI possible, i wouldnt even use DW, end of story. I just find it so hard to believe that they would want stop the adding of new platforms, it makes no sence. What do they lose... nothing. The work of people to make more for DW should be a plus, and most of it is. Some people follow everything by the book i guess. But there is nothing more to say here, so we might as well close this.

I don't know laws matter, but i think:

-DW is property of SCS, then they can do what they want

-but wich they do have non sence, is stupid

For example SH3 lives with GWX (and a lot of games keep alive with mods)

This is why I'm glad I only paid $8.19 out the door at Target for this sim.
