It could be said that David Kinney had high level security access to the F-35 as a consultant. After all he did create advanced training simulators for the military and more specifically the F-35.
If you have that level of clearance, what do you think would pay more
1. the average wage maybe 100-150K per year developing simulations
2. using the resources you have in terms of technical software that develops avionics for the B2 and F-22 and selling it off to the chinese\Russians. Perhaps Kinney should be charged with treason if it is proven he did indeed sell out after his failed kickstarter..
His asking price was $75,000 to develop the F-35 into DCS, that would be about half his yearly wage in the real world. If he succeeded and got his $75K, would he have been able to create and publish the F-35 to make it viable as a 1 man band?
No doubt when the kickstarter failed, Kinney probably sold off the resources....he probably created a simulator that shows how the advanced avionics work on the B2 and F-22 and sold that off as well.
About Kinney partial resume of Kinney this point is quite interesting
Which makes me wonder why the Mercer family, also the owners of Breitbart & Cambridge Analytica, allowed their company MadCatz to shill Combat Pilot. Why a group of friends of Kinney's son, heavily involved in Rick Warren's church (close friends to Rick's son who shot himself in the middle of all this) made up the majority of MadCatz employees and contractors for Combat Pilot. Why the SEC delisted MadCatz? Why the same management team that made the Kinney deal all ended up being fired for cause days before the company shut down?
What if Kinney produced the f-35 yet buried in the code was actual flight resources and data from the real aircraft? it would be easy to ship it off to the russians considering ED\TFC is a joint venture between the US and Russia.
on the surface it would look like any other module.
this is hypothetical, but why won't VEAO release the data for ED to finish the hawk? perhaps kinney struck a deal with VEAO and stashed the data in the hawk coding. Anything is possible but when you have a joint venture with USA and Russia with military contracts playing out from the joint venture.
anything is possible.
