• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Developing Avionics and IP Questions

Hello all,
I have done a lot of thread searching and not really finding the answers I am looking for.

I am involved with a group and we are wanting to design avionics and a flat panel trainer similar to a popular regional jet. I realize there are several descent quality entertainment versions out there yet we are wanting to use it for commercial purposes, potentially becoming a non-type specific AATD down the road a bit. I have read and do recognize that contacting any manufacturer for a license is the ultimate answer, yet I'd like to be as well informed as possible prior to that exchange.

I am a bit confused as I read about Cease and Desists yet I still see very high level software such as Prosim737 which states they are not affiliated with or endorsed by any aircraft manufacturer? I guess I wonder how they are able to produce Commercial/FTD Lvl software without being affiliated or endorsed? Maybe I'm missing something obvious? Likely "licensed" is not the same as endorsed/affiliated?

I have read a lot of statements of just don't use their name on the product and change it up a bit, and others statements about Gulfstream models, etc.

I am wondering if anyone can recommend an IP attorney with specific expertise (or similar person) for a consultation regarding commercial applications of developing this type of flight sim software.

Feel free to PM me and I appreciate your feedback.
Best Regards
