Managing 'ongoing and new licensing agreements and relationships'.

It also mentions 'Acquisition of required licenses within the world of rail, aviation and fishing, enabling our development teams to exploit those rights in software Exploration and development of partnership opportunities designed to raise awareness for Dovetail Games and its products', and then the really interesting part: The job description references 'some of the biggest brands in the world of rail, aviation and fishing', and I can't think of a bigger aviation sim brand than MSFS. Here's something interesting: Dovetail had posted a new opening on their site for a licensing manager, something new and promising. This means that the best option right now is FSX Steam Edition, which- while definitely new and improved- is still a nearly nine-year old simulator, and is showing its age.ĭo you think Dovetail should try to go the whole way in licensing Microsoft's flight tech and obtain the rights to the Flight Simulator brand, not just the engine? Flight Simulator deserves to be resurrected and continued, even though at present Dovetail's deal with Microsoft doesn't allow them to use more than the underlying tech in their software. Lockheed Martin secured the rights to Flight Simulator's business/educational license, and the result was Prepar3D, an amazingly advanced simulator restricted to professional use and unavailable for the vast majority of flight sim enthusiasts. They've been licensed to put FSX on Steam and slightly update it (which they did last month), and have acquired the license to produce new consumer software based on Microsoft's flight simulation tech.

So, as I'm sure most everybody here knows, Dovetail Games has recently been very active with the Flight Simulator series.
