Patrick, no need to apologize

Hi Brian,

To give you an idea of what effect our 2nd purchase would have, consider this:

If every owner of the CS777 was to buy a second copy, for example, this would provide CS with enough money to pay a high quality, full time software developer to work on just the 777.  Depending on just how many of us kick in, his period of employment could be anywhere from 3 months to 12 months.

With a full time, high quality developer working on it, we would have, after 6 months, quite possibly the most complete, accurate and polished simulation product yet seen for FSX - and the most bug-free.

These calculations are, of course, based on some assumptions (which could be wildly wrong).  I was a full time software developer myself, for 15 years, before switching to full time pilot, so there *should* be some reasonable accuracy in my numbers.

Yeah Mark, agree with you that buying two copies of the same aircraft could be mostly pointless.  Most people would just buy a different aircraft from CS.

If however, you were, like me, really really wanting to send a message to CS about the 777, then you might do what I did and buy a second copy of it.

Also, if there are outside investors involved with the T7, then CS can flash the T7 sales figures at them.  Those T7 sales figures would sure look better if that second purchase was of the T7, rather than say, the 737.

Yup totally pointless, and like this has already been said i doubt it's going to speed anything up regarding updates ect ect as they have there own lives to live and do it in their spare time. With a recesstion going in the uk i doubt they will be willing to buy a second copy (uk customers that it) just for the hell of it.

You just did lmao
