I have both FSX and FS9, and continually go back to FS9 hands down. Its just a more polished SIM that doesnt slow down the decent computer system i have.

What developers also seem to forget for those of us that acually BUY and not PIRATEBAY our addons, its very disheartening to see developers give away making addons for FS9.

What they are effectivly doing is cornering themselves into just the FSX market, and effectivly throwing away profits.

There are other software companies that actually take the time to put a poll up to see if people would like either an FS9, FSX or BOTH product and HAMMER you would get a big HAMMER at the resounding respone that FS9 is the SIM of choice, wether you want to belive it or not.  Have a look at Flightsimmer.com if you dont believe me.

Not everyone can get mum or dad to buy them a new system ever two years, not everyone is on 100K jobs to afford the same.

IF microsoft had not shut down their FS division i could see a point with trying to discontinue all FS9 addons completely. But now that the market is left realistically with FSX and FS9, developers GIMP themselves by not catering for both.

Who wants to spend Thousands on a new comp for a 90 buck game and 80 buck addon.

Not me, no way. FS9 works MAXED out and 40+ FPS on a reasonable system.

Looks like im getting the Airbus series from Flightsimmer after all.

Happy simming to everyone.

Again it appears that Captain Sim didnt do the research to get the most out of their target audience FS9 and FSX simmers.
