Using fighter planes in games
Hello,
I know that if I want to use let's say an AUDI R8 in my game, I have to pay a lot to get a license from AUDI. Does this also apply to fighter planes like the F-22 or SU-37? Do I have to message the US or the Russian Army to ask for their permission (highly unlikely)? So what's the case with planes? I know that Boeing would want me to pay, but I'm not planning to include commercial airlines.
PS. I'm scared to ask the same question about guns. Does the same apply to guns like AK-47?
Of course you need permissions. They are designed by companies. It's why most games change up the designs. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/contact/licensing-information.html
Lockheed-$$anonymous$$artin is ok when you do 3dmodels of their stuff for non-commercial use/not resale. But for commercial use, you'd need to ask them.
UA is really not the place to ask for legal advice. What happens if you get sued? 'but UA said it was ok' will not be a suitable defense.
If you change the name slightly, like blockhead Martin f-97, you might be able to do so without a license. Lots of games do that. Your best bet is to email the company with a question. Anything (gun,car,plane, steamroller), should follow that system.
