Maps & environmental data
Official basemap.at aerial imagery License verified
Data source: basemap.at. The game's aerial images are cropped, tiled, compressed and in some cases sharpened from the original source. Commercial reuse is permitted under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, subject to its conditions. Original orthophoto service.
City of Vienna building model License verified
Datenquelle: Stadt Wien – data.wien.gv.at. Buildings may be simplified, clipped to map bounds and rendered as game geometry. Source: Stadt Wien MA 41 OGD geodata; license CC BY 4.0.
OpenStreetMap-derived geodata License verified
Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. Used for mapped streets, places, water, bridges, vegetation and some building outlines. OSM-derived portions of the bundled JSON data retain applicable ODbL conditions, including derivative database obligations. Independently licensed City of Vienna data retain their own CC BY status.
3D models and sound
Boats — Quaternius Ships Pack CC0 verified
Originally made by Quaternius and adapted as the game's small boats. Source publisher identifies the collection as CC0 1.0 for commercial use.
Mini camera drone CC0 listed
Adapted from a Mini 4 Pro STL uploaded by DragonCNC, publicly listed under CC0. Mesh optimized into the game's GLB. Source uploader and license declaration are identified; independently held manufacturer design and trademark rights are not guaranteed by that declaration.
Rotor sound — “drone fly” License verified
Sound effect by klemenflerin on Pixabay, edited into a short looping in-game sample. Used under the Pixabay Content License, which allows embedding in creative works but restricts standalone redistribution. This recording is not CC0.
Air / Pro / Cinema drones and procedural scenery Project provenance
Create23 game assets created or supplied for this project. They are not offered to others under CC0. The repository contains model and generator notes, but not every original modeling source file.
Human characters and vehicles Ownership proof outstanding
Project records describe the pilot, animated walkers, crowds and vehicle classes as user-supplied Create23 originals. No third-party creator or marketplace license is identified. Their original modeling files and a creator/rights-owner declaration have not been independently verified, so this is not a final clearance of their ownership.
References: character import history · vehicle import history.
Fonts License included
Inter and Source Serif 4 are used under the SIL Open Font License; their license text is distributed with the web fonts. Font binaries are not offered for standalone redistribution here.
Independent educational content
The 40 English Flight Academy practice questions, explanations and 3D lessons were independently written for Create23. They are not the Austro Control examination, not official training, and do not issue certification. Nothing here suggests endorsement by Austro Control, EASA, DJI or the map-data publishers.
Important distinctionThis page records license terms and identified sources, not a guarantee that all upstream rights have been cleared. Public assets may also involve trademarks, design rights and permissions beyond copyright. For full internal clearance, archive the source project files and creator/owner declarations for people and vehicle models.
