Thread: Combining Arma2 Helicopters with new flight model?

  1. #11
    @Max - it's worth the mods getting clarification on this as it's one of the reasons BIS removed the versioning check in ToH - to make it easier to include Arma content. This is from the change log...

    Code:
    [87837]  Changed: Addons config value requiredVersion ignored for easier addon sharing between various products (A2, TOH)
    Jedra's Addons
    Arma 2 : Enhanced Skills Slider
    Take On Helicopters : Take On Taxi | Jedra's Time Trials | Weapon Indicators | No Radar

    I am referring to instructions from Suma, which have not yet been modified or rescinded in the moderator forum, so no I haven't misunderstood. He was very clear in the way he worded his statement.

    It is possible that those policies have relaxed since then, however.

    @Jedra

    Based on that comment I can't tell if that is meant with the community in mind or not. Surely the possibility of easier cross-pollinating does not ensure that it is for just anyone to do. I'll see if our instructions should be updated.

    Well, officially, at least so far, our instructions have not changed.

    Well, it looks like we won't be dogfighting these new Hinds against your sublime Cobra for a while then! Thanks for checking.

    As far as I know, I can port my cobra where ever I want because it's not based on BIS IP. I made it from the ground up and so I can do what I want with it. What we seemingly can't do is use BIS ArmA content to make Take On helicopters, including the example models and anything based off of the example models without permission to break the license. The current license for the ArmA example models states that they can only be used for ArmA and its sequels, and any derivative works must be released under the same license.

    It looks like you may be able to ArmA 2 with Take On in the future. What that means for addon compatibility, I don't know. Be advised that addon maker licenses may prohibit porting, AND also what products the addon may be used with in their current form.

    I may be able to port my helicopter to whatever platform I choose, but your ability to use CWR2, in its current or future forms, with Take On or Take On ArmA has yet to be made clear. CWR2 is a special case because it's not just our IP that we're using. We have agreements with external groups and individuals.

    No worries - I understand that. Even when BIS give the ability to merge the two games it's still the addon maker's right to say where it is used - totally respect that. How these rights/permissions are managed if ToH/Arma launches together if both are present is a bridge yet to cross I guess!

    I was actually paying you a (very) disguised compliment anyway as I think the work you put into that Cobra is outstanding. Of course it would be great to see these quality community models with the ToH flight model, but I also understand the work that needs to go into it.

    An interesting world lies ahead!
