You aske for a Gulfstream III in Simviation as well, & the answer was...
"

I think historically Gulfstream were very particular about not allowing their name be used in sims. That is why we tend not to see them commercially at any rate."

So, even for private use, there are probably issues!

Hey come on Anel, I just did a simple search and came up with the Abacus Gulfstream III, http://www.abacuspub.com/premier-gulfstream-iii-download !!

I tell you what it's only $9.95, but if you give me $20, I'll send it to you....only joking!

OR for free at Flightsim.com https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=65955834, NASA GII/III

Go get them and happy flying!

As for Gen Dynamics who make Gulfstreams, how pathetic! A sim version of an ac, what a great way to spread the name, good intentions, and people's aspirations...dohh! they just don't get it...

Cheers

p.s Anel, I suspect english is not your native language, so if you any need help just let us know!

Back when I was involved in plastic modeling, it was in the 1990s I believe, quite a few aircraft manufacturers, Boeing is one that pops into my mind but there were others, who threatened kit manufacturers with legal action for copyright violations for the use of their names on kits. This is why you may see a Minicraft "B-17B" kit, for example, but not a Minicraft "Boeing B-17B Flying Fortress." I read that they even tried to claim copyright infringement over terms like "B-17" but found that they couldn't claim copyright on an official U.S. government type designation.

Sometime early in my FS period, probably back in the 2000's, I read that American Airlines was threatening freeware as well as payware modelers and repainters over the use if their name and logos. This must not have gone very far, since the download pages are loaded with American Airlines planes and skins. But if what I read is to be believed, they tried to demand payment for licensing rights.

A couple years ago I saw a calendar for sale in a store and it carried a prominent "legal warning" to the effect that the purchaser of the calendar was buying a license to display it in their home showing only the current month's illustration, and that display at any other time, or the removal of any illustration from the bound calendar for display by itself in any context, would constitute a copyright violation that would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I wanted to write to them and tell them that I'd cut all the pictures from their calendar and displayed them not at home, but in my place of work, which was a pubic facility, and challenge them to try to do anything about it. But I didn't have a pen and pad on me to copy their address, and I wasn't about to buy their calendar just to get the publisher's address.

This is today's American business sector in action, always trying to squeeze every possible cent from the public regardless of any public reaction, convinced that what they're selling is in such demand that they can ignore any negative effect on public relations. This may have something to do with the fact that the American business sector is no longer the acknowledged world leader in commerce. When I was in college back in the 1960s it was said that the business (and education) majors kept the schools solvent with their tuition because they weren't smart enough to get scholarships. The business majors of that day are today's recent retirees, and they spent the past half century making the American business community what it is today.

Unfortunately it's the litigious society that was spawned in the good ol' US of A, and it's spread here to the UK and world wide. Everyone trying to make a buck/pound/euro et all out of everything, absolutely pathetic!

I agree that a commercial concern is about making money, but where does even a sniff of common sense come in to it?!!!

Anyway, they can't stop you doing it in private, ha ha!....and therefore I shall be displaying the month of December on my callendar, as of tomorrow, and no one can stop me!

May we see an illustration please?

Can't provide one. As mentioned in my post, I didn't buy the calendar.

 

[wombat666]

A long time past I was reading where IL2 'Pacific Fighters' were getting considerable aggro from whoever 'Owned' the Grumman identity, regarding the Wildcat IIRC.
That prompted me to purchase both IL2 and Pacific Fighters .............. Corporate Lawyers justifying their existence probably.

Fair enough... though if I worked with you and you tried to display cut-out calendar illustrations on my pubic facility then we'd have a problem.

If I'd worked at a pubic facility I might not have retired!

 

[Shessi]

Ha ha ha!!...my wife laughed at that as well....I'm scarred for life, the picture I have of Mick, pubic and calendar.....

C'mon Anel9...pick-up on this thread before we all go mad?!

[anels9]

I'm aware of the models you mention shessi, and my native language is english (im australian) haha

The nasa one is an AI model so not that great and the abacus one is dated and lacks basic texturing and modeling with all due respect.

Ive had someone message me, so I'll see what can be done. Thanks anyway guys

Lol, I only originally asked as I thought they weren’t around anymore.

and I’ve been in contact with a few reputable payware makers, but pretty much all have moved on from FS2004 and no longer have the capability to make stuff for the older platform. I have a rough idea of the sort of money I’ll be spending. It’s more a case of finding someone to make it for FS2004
