I don't know, but I want to support John Terrell (Bomber_12th) and this aircraft. He has provided us with many great repaints in the past and all that work has always been free and absolutely first rate. This is a chance to pay him back and get his wonderful P-51 Mustang package in the deal, seems like a win-win situation to me.
I am willing to put up with a little inconvenience if it helps slow down the theft of copyrighted work and keeps John developing products for FS. Sounds like Warbirdsim are more than willing to support us if there are problems with the protection system.
Looking forward to this release.
