I have an unrelated question about the fellows sim in the link above. Does Microsoft require that he obtain a commercial license for his simulator?

His is the first sim I've seen built by a hobbyist that charges for flight time. I just wonder how he is able to do this using MSFS.

[Efe Cem Elci]

Not sure about that Michael but I know there are quite a few FS-based sims in Europe that charge people to fly and advertise as such.

Don't quote me because I'm not a lawyer, but it is my understanding that as long as you do not claim to have FAA or some sort of government certification that you can charge all you want. The person paying for it may NOT enter the time into his logbook.

[Michael Carter]

I was actually meaning a legal issue with Microsoft using their product for profit.

[AndyT]

If you have MS Office on your machine and type letters to make money, that's using it for profit, right? Or what if you play games for a living? Still profiting from them....

I think as long as you dont claim to be certified this or that, that MS is not going to get upset and come after you.

Of course I could be wrong....

[Michael Carter]

Hmmm...

It just seems to me that MS would want their 'cut'.

[AndyT]

If you buy a new truck to use at work, does Ford come around looking for their cut?

[Michael Carter]

Of course not. But the software world seems to be a little different with their end user license agreements and intellectual property rights, etc.
