Title: The 757 Freighter Expansion price
Post by Captain Sim on Jan 23rd, 2019 at 1:27am
Captains,
We usually do not discuss our pricing, but it seems like the 757 Freighter Expansion price requires some explanations.
So, why is it $50?
1. The 757F is the most advanced and complete freighter ever built for any desktop flight sim. For details please visit the 757F page: https://captainsim.net/products/y757/y574/ or get a copy of the Manual: https://captainsim.net/products/y757/sops/
2. It's not "just the door". The 757F took 9 months of full time work with a team of highly qualified developers and artists. It's expensive.
3. The 757F delivers 11 (eleven!) freighter variants at $4.5 each.
4. The 757F includes 3 RR engine variants. Again, the RR is not "just another engine". It's a lot of work on the models, textures, engine performance, systems, EICAS, sounds, flight model.
5. The 757F has TrueGlass rain effects, which takes time and money.
6. The 757F has integrated GPU, again it's time and money.
7. The 757F has new materials, and guess what? It's time and money.
We believe $50 is a very decent price. We know a developer who charges $70 for a Freighter expansion which even has no cargo cabin in VC.

What's $50 anyway? A modest dinner for one in average chain restaurant? Or a bottle of something at the liquor store?
Or a piece of digital art which you will enjoy for years to come?
