Correct me if I'm wrong: We don't get Mods on console like Claas or in FS17 JD because of missing Licences and now we get some things only because of missing licences? No I don't think so.drb wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:40 am I agree with you Phigo, the legacy equipment should be available as updates, if it was not possible to transfer them before the game launched.
I imagine some things could not be included in the base game (or as a base-game update) due to licensing issues. Essentially, it boils down to the fact that licenses are required to sell a product using another company's brand - you can't sell FS19 with Brochard manure spreaders if you no longer have a license to do that from Brochard. You also can't update a Brochard manure spreader into the game without a license, since the user bought the future base game updates when they bought the game. However, you can give away a free digital model of a Brochard manure spreader without needing one, since you aren't making any profit on the brand's name. This is my understanding of the situation anyway.
There is no difference in my opinion if I have a Deutz Model a (don't know the numbers) in game and a Deutz model b as a Mod. I don't get it. It has to do something with developing and porting over from FS17 (which is okay if they Need the time, but it would be nice if it Comes as a later update)
