Just thought I'd bring this back to the top. I also think that it's very important for CS to release the final patch for FS9. Like many other people, I purchased the 757 way, way, WAY back around the time of it's first release. I think we've been waiting long enough now for a bug free and complete product now. You can't just abandon us.

I don't really understand why many FS developers are ditching FS9. Okay yes, new development opportunities, but many polls/surveys suggest that FS9 is still very popular, if not more popular than FSX. I haven't moved to FSX, because:


1) Despite buying a new computer 6 months ago, I STILL can't run it with more than 10 FPS.

2) After FSX was released, a lot of the FS developers started asking for MORE money to get updates. I'm not spending MORE money to buy the same product for a different platform.

3) Without buying more add-ons the stock FSX environment looks a toy-land. It looks very artificial.


So therefore, I stick to FS9. It runs smooth (very important for a simulator), looks great, and I don't have to spend anymore on products I already own.

I don't care what else you do in the future (because I'm unlikely to buy another CS product anyway. The whole extended 757 release was a total mess imo), but for the sake of the (still at large) FS9 user base, please release the final patch so we can get our money's worth.
