I started this thread, and over the last few days I've been extremely critical of Captain Sim and their practices. Well I decided it wasn't fair to judge this product so harshly and be so critical to Captain Sim, especially without owning it. So this morning I made the purchase.

This may surprise some, but boy was I wrong about this. This aircraft is excellent, systems are modeled very well, the frames (at least for myself) are smooth, above 40fps, which is consistent with my other planes. The modeling on the inside and especially the outside is fantastic. It fly's really well and I can see getting some enjoyment out of this for a while.

I publicly apologize to Captain Sim for being so harsh towards them over the last few days. Unless I have a question or issue I will likely be absent from the forum, however I wanted to post an update and publicly apologize to Captain Sim. I was very wrong about this.

Thank you Captain Sim for your understanding.

This is where I'm coming. I'm not into bashing devs. I own the 757 and have fun with it despite still having odd bugs (terrain radar and A/T override for instance). And If I did want to hit your reputation, I wouldn't take time writing this, but would rather write a bunch of useless insults. I'm a civilized man, so I think two people of the same kind can have a calm debate about this. I think the 767 could sell a lot more, IF we got the answer everyone expects, which is keeping the tag price and adding more stuff, or lowering the price. Imagine, you hold an exclusivity, don't mess it up! Make us (both on marketing side and product side as well) dream, like if this was the addon we dreamt would be almost perfect. It's okay to use another company's business model, as soon as it works and nobody bothers. It wouldn't be the first time anyways. You don't win on a rager/hater by banning him. That's a lack of response. You win by proving him (by staying honest and respectful too) how wrong he was and how everyone is in love with the product, even future buyers. Make most people forget about sales (but don't delete them; I do love them ;) ), and make a big hit, like some big competitor's (****) did, despite high price. Sell us our dream aircraft, without us having to worry about future updates, expansions (that doesn't mean all in one product) or pricing. That means you'll get very popular (positively, not concerning expansion topic), you'll make money (perhaps not as much as you could per addon but selling way more copies) and THE community will happily will eagerly purchase future releases no problem. If you sold a car, to a lady who is happy, she will recommend it to another one, and if she's happy your'e making real money. Even better, if the product gets more "loaded" with actual content people (not just a few) will happily spend the money on.

So, keep working, think, perhaps modify stuff, make a surprise announcement, idk, something the community desperately wants, and launch the dream machine/ money maker. Not the Controversial war about who's right or what's priced properly.Make us spend money without fear, but with a big smile, and super positive reviews (something the 757 lacked IMO, sadly) insisting of how much worth it it is /aka how much stuff you do get for your money.
