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.

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.

Under copyright law, so long as FO doesnt distribute copyrighted works, or works based on others IP, there is nothing they can do.
Im not really clear on the provenance of the FO theaters, but I assume they are their own work and not based on stock KTO that came with F4.0 so it doesnt matter.
-
I believe someone told them if we (I mean the BMS team mostly and the community then) don’t “be” or provide our MOD then they wouldn’t sell anything regarding Falcon 4.0.
So removing the BMS download links reduces their clients…I would ask them if they want to put a link to BMS download and some pics… and yes it will be free and yes they can say if they want that FreeFalcon existed.
