With the recent announcement that future versions of FSUIPC will not be freeware, there has been much speculation about how this will affect SquawkBox 3. Here is what I know now.
The FS 2002 version of SquawkBox 3 will release with a current freely available version of FSUIPC. The FS 2004 version will hopefully run with a licensed version of FSUIPC at no cost to end users of SquawkBox 3. The details of the licensing scheme have not yet been established. I am in contact with the author of FSUIPC about this and will post more here as things develop.
On that note, I would encourage you to express your thanks to the author of FSUIPC by making a donation. Think of it as a small price to pay for the many hours of enjoyment you may have received from using SquawkBox. In your donation, note that you appreciate his role in making past and future versions of SquawkBox successful!
