So, if they decide not to allow BMS, where would that leave us? (You know… "After eliminating the impossible… ")
If they make it when you aren’t allowed to use bms my guess if that everyone would leave falcon for dcs or some other flight sim.

The IP holder does not have the right to make the use of BMS unlawful. They have the right to make its distribution unlawful, but copyright has no hold over the ability of an individual to modify a work for their own personal enjoyment.
It is a bit of a moot point, as it would seem pretty unlikely for Tommo to make such distribution unlawful, given that it would dry up their new revenue stream.

I just read the gog.com user agreement, and based off of the OP and what user agreement says, I get the impression this is just legal red tape because of liscense owners changing. I really do not believe they have an interest in shutting down bms, but just the opposite.

I’m really concerned whether the IP holder is going to make us to buy digital copy of Falcon 4.0 even we already have original CD disc.
If yes, I guess we will have to buy it for new installer.
I know it’s cheap, but unacceptable for me. -
Again, not something they legally can compel you to do PeCa_Chuck.

I know it’s cheap, but really not acceptable for me.It actually has a section stating that if you have a license code like on a box, or CD etc, your good to go with the games that they have.

What about legitim owners of the original F4 from the original developer?…
Good luck and godspeed as well to BMS…and to all of us.

The day I buy falcon 4.0 just to get BMS, what are the chances

AFAIK Microprose sold or passed the rights for Falcon to Atari Interactive sometime in the early noughties. Falcon 4.0 Allied Force (2005) was licensed by Atari and they were the last known legitimate owners.

Actually, Tommo Inc. bought some classic game rights, such as Falcon 4.0, in July 2013. I don’t know, whether this piece of news was noted then by the public.

microprose - retrosim - steam , many old games have this relation

Come on Tommo, lets’s play together This could be a beautiful partnership! There are a couple purchases I want to make over there like F-19, F-117, and Fleet Defender. I probably will finally break down and buy the Falcon series, even though I have few Falcon 4.0 and Falcon Gold CDs, it would be fun to play around with Falcon and Falcon AT. Anybody order from them yet and know if they are including some kind of Dos emulator like DosBox or you provide that on your end?

I’m setting my fullest trust in you (all).
Best regards

By legitim owner, I meant the people who bought the Sim 17 years ago… or anytime before now! (I know, my english sucks).
You have it, and use BMS. If the new sellers come up with a “you have to buy it again”… it will be … … you know.

I actually think I saw this but only retained the GOG bit

Under the EULA you agreed to when you purchased Falcon 4.0, they dont actually have the right to end your license to use Falcon 4.0 arbitrarily.
There is no way for a ‘you have to buy it again’ to come about. This is just borrowing trouble.

Good find! I didn’t remember that there existed a topic about it. Thanks!

That’s not my question since I can and will use the mod no matter what anyone says.
Distribution is another matter.
My concern is how this could affect public online groups like FO.
