Is AAO violating the PMDG DC6 EULA?

Does AAO violates the PMDG DC6 EULA?

I just wonder, are reading and writing PMDG DC6 variables and events  with AAO a violation of the PMDG DC6's as no SDK exist today?

 

The PDMG DC6 EULA states: 

"If you create an application designed to interact with this software, you may manipulate or control the software using only the specifically provided methods included in the Software Developers Kit provided for use with this product, if and only if, one is so provided"

smells fishy to me...this is your 1st post?

 

Hello pmdg employee 🙂

AAO does not contain any code that is specific to the PMDG DC6. None whatsoever. For convenience, AAO provides methods for the legacy PMDG products only, and those methods are indeed using their SDK.

I am sure that PMDG will let us know through official channels if they object. Us and FSUIPC, SPADNext, Mobiflight, plus all other apps out there that are capable of accessing simulator LVars.

This thread will be locked now, because as far as I remember, AVSIM does not look kindly upon discussions of legal matters concerning EULAs and IPR.
