March 18, 200818 yr I noticed that the Learjet 25D by Lars Roennig has had a huge number of downloads. I downloaded it and it looks nice with an easy panel to use and great sounds. But why is it so popular? Since the AVSIM community has downloaded it so many times, am I missing something here?Airbus Al Kaupa Digital Storm purchased 8/17/2011; Win7x64: Asus P8P67 Deluxe; Intel i7 2600K@3,9 GHZ; nVidia GTX 560Ti; 8GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Dominator; Power Corsair HX 750W; Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD; 300GB WD VelociRaptor; 1TB Seagate.
March 18, 200818 yr May I simply suggest that if any of us knew what motivates simmers to download particular files, we would probably have our own TV Talk Show.

Panels and system simulation as well as an accurate FDE are "nice to have".Strange, considering how many take offence when FS is mentioned in the context of a computer game..;)
March 18, 200818 yr Generally speaking, download figures mostly just tell you people are initially interested, not necessarily that they like a title enough to actually keep it.regards,Mark Regards, Mark
