Hello Daddns,
Your point is quite valid. But, i think we need some response from CS. If they are low on resources, i guess everyone would love to help them get this magnificent bird ready.

Still, we are waiting for the next SP which will be hopefully out next month.

Thank you all for support
Please stay tuned for news.

Lets not let this become the competitor's forums where if you bring up a radical or different idea, you get chewed up and laughed at. Show some respect to the idea, it actually makes some sense.

Captain Sim has released some well detailed aircraft, aircraft that really aren't developed elsewhere to the detail of CS, take for instance, the 707, 737, 727, etc. Yet, that comes at a cost, and their latest full release, the 777, has some tough competition, but I admire their great release regardless, it is quite a nice product, with a great level of visual detail. So it might not draw in the great profit (who knows though). Back to the point though, do I think we should all go buy it again to support the company? Well it depends on what you want to see. Depending on the sales, I would assume that those would reflect the attention and number of updates issued by CS for the 777. If they say that if many people buy the product, we will continue to improve it, then maybe that is an idea. An example is the B-52, CS stated that if there is enough interest in the exterior model, an interior might be developed.

I think though that buying another product just to support the company may be an okay idea, but a user-ran giveaway to support CS and help gain outside interest (so not only maybe giving CS a one time payment from previous owners, but increasing payments from new customers). There are people who trash CS who probably only read the comments and look at the pictures, but never personally paid for and flown the aircraft.

So hey, if the community wants to help give the developer more funds to help improve products, then maybe instead of just buying it for ourselves, maybe we could make a contest like system to draw in new pilots, and help expand the community. That is just an idea though, and who knows if funds are needed, or instead support and backing

Another side to the reason for the delay in the next SP, is that the developers have real lives with jobs.
Sometimes real life events cause delays. Going by the About Captain Sim web page, the main members of the development team are pilots with jobs. Be it as a Fighter Pilot or an Airline Pilot. I think that having time, more than money, is the problem.

I have to agree with you Mark. There are too many developers who push out their product too soon. I to would rather wait until they can iron out as many bugs that might pop up. Captain Sim has a very good reputation, for good product, and it is too important to ruin that reputation by pushing out faulty product.

Dude, you really need to calm down...

Mark supports CS, like me and many other people on this forum, because he has their products which are, for the most part, very high quality.

If all that you are going to do is come onto this forum and say that the product "sucks" (quoting you from another thread), you have no business here. I have said it before and I will say it again: what do you plan on achieving by just saying the product is bad? How is CS supposed to know what the issues are if you don't give any specifics and just say it "sucks"?

You really need to grow up and learn some respect.

Well, if there's no "unexpected hiccups" then it will be released within 4 days 5 hours and 53 minutes
