Seriously, most flight simmers would accept plan changes when new sim platforms are coming. At least I do, even if P3d will remain my sim platform for a long time.

But with all due respect to addon producers, what on earth would have been the problem to make a proper GE expansion with a proper GE sound and then you were done with the 767 in P3d??? OK, the freight dogs would still have been disappointed then, but it would have been a finished and honest product.

And now?? Everybody is pissed! The GE lovers for the lack of sound, the cargo lovers for the lack of a cargo door (honestly I was laughing when I read that).

You've modeled animations for the cup holder, for the door of the cupboard in the wall behind the copilot seat, for the maintenaince doors of the gear box,... you've maxed out all the animations, which many people liked. Are you really telling those people now it wasn't even worth modelling a freight door in a CF version??! I can't help seeing that as a bit as a provocation.

You know exactly what people had in mind when they saw the more unpopular, yet interesting PW version in the base pack back then, combined with the outlook for the expansions. And the strange trial of tempering your words used to create that expection at your customers doesn't change those expectations in the aftermath.
Canceling a project is one thing which I think is OK and has to be respected by customers who have no clue about the financial backgound. But delivering "2 half products" of which each lacks one of the most obvious reasons for their existence is a cry for driving away customers - which include me now.

I've praised you so much at Simmarket for your huge effort in systems at the 757 and 767 for P3d v4 in comparison to older 757 products. That was really great! But now, I'm out of the game for the lack of credibility in a single expansion pack! Glad I read the "limitations" section before pushing the "Buy now" button. Shame because I even thought about buying the 737 additionally. But as the role of P3d customers seems newly defined by that, I'm gonna resist for any newer products.
