I've thought the same thing, is there some misunderstanding of the release method? I think there probably isn't, "PHDG" is just trying to divert people away from competitor products, especially the CS, because it is being partially built by the customers themselves in a way. I also think this is far from a used car salesman pitch, partially because we aren't buying a used car (It's more like a fresh off the line product, just released, that needs some improvement that is coming).

I think it's far from any scam either, for I walk away with a flyable plane, and it's being improved, and supported. I bought the incredible model last year, and it saves me money now. I no where else can buy the full plane in portions, its an innovative and unique way of selling.

I think, like I mentioned before both here and in other places, there are a few people who are afraid of CS's 777 (such as PHDG and some of their very loyal customers), and what has been shown. They bank off the past hoping the future will yield similar results. These people try to protect their own product's image and stability in the market by attacking the threat, which created a divided group of people. I think that overall, if I can have a say in how something is developed, it's worth much more then asking for pictures or updates, and I make comments like that over and over, but once again, there is one 777 I can fly, and one I can look at, and I like the one I can fly a lot more.

If you don't like CS then keep it to yourself... PHDG isn't all that welcoming either and they don't take criticism at all, Talk crap about them and see how long your post will be on their forums... Do you really expect to be talked about in your own house and not kick the person out who is talking about you?? Same with your post. Ofcourse its gonna get deleted. All your trying to do is get people to agree with you and try to say PHDG is better. Well its not because PHDG and Captain Sim aren't the same developer. So if you don't like Captain Sim because they aren't like PHDG then don't complain on the forums.
And its getting annoying know with the "brainwashing" crap, People have choices, if they don't want to buy PHDG and choose to buy Captain Sim big deal, PHDG isn't a requirement for flight sim, its an option.

You know, when people say the PHDG 777 is better than the CS 777(or they claim), they have only see small shots and say the CS777 is really bad. They never say "WHY?"

Well, it remains to be seen if the CS 777 will have maintenance/wear, full failures simulation, extremely accurate systems modeling, authentic engine startup/parameters/EPR ratings, accurate VNAV, RNP/ANP, an SDK, FS2Crew support, and first officer callouts.

Where does it say that this or any forums are democratic. Make sure when you leave, close the door behind you, we are getting a cold blowing wind coming from PHDG. Sounds like PHDG is scared, it's like the car manufactures always comparing their product to the one that is most threat to their product.

What's that Internet thing you do when you agree with someone? +1, right?

Well, I completely agree with this.

I think a lot of people should grow up--I won't call out any names (or Flight Simulator aircraft developers!).

And I think both companies that are developing 777s right now should keep their heads down and do their thing. When both planes are complete and released, they'll speak for themselves.

Oh well, guess there is always somebody who makes a stupid comment. I've been that guy.
