PSS ferme officiellement ses portes

[David Roch 1,982]

Après les rumeurs, le communiqué.PSS a été longtemps une des meilleurs compagnies produisant des gros porteurs pour FS.Avant l'arrivée de PMDG et LDS ils ont peuplé nos cieux virtuels de magnifiques machines avant de décliner à mon avis serieusement ces dernières années, autant sur la qualité que sur le service apporté à leurs produits.Mais la raison de leur fermeture est financière, due essentiellement au piratage de leurs produits (...)Anthony, fils de Graham Waterfield reprend les choses en main et annonce une nouvelle compagnie, de nouveaux produits, une nouvelle stratégie etc..L'avenir nous dira ce qu'il en est.Voici le communiqué en anglais:"PSS Press Release - 16/1/2008In an attempt to halt the current speculation surrounding Phoenix Simulation Software, the closure of their website and the lack of response to support and emails, I would like to make public the following statements.PHOENIX SIMULATION SOFTWAREREGRET TO ANNOUNCEThat the Company and Website have ceased tradingPSS have experienced severe difficulties both of a personal and financial level that unfortunately at this time cannot be remedied. The financial difficulties are mainly caused by the individuals who preferred to use sites like *(DELETED)* instead of paying to support the growth and continuation of PSS and then clogging up our forums with technical support queries for products you dont actually own , You know who you are! As a result of this former CEO Graham Waterfield has been left with no alternative but the closure of the company and early retirement.However, I Antony Waterfield son of Graham along with an investment consortium are in the process of establishing a new company and acquiring the rights, intellectual property & existing customer base from PSS in order that we may keep the company alive and progress it to a higher level. This will include but is not limited to the following:-* Improved more user friendly website/ product catalogue.* Improved technical support sytem including knowledge base and ticketing.* Upgrade existing products to FSX where possible.* Development of further Expansion products for Fs2004/FSXIn the mean time a limited version of the former PSS website system will be available shortly so existing customers can gain access to previously purchased products and we are taking steps to reintroduce a basic temporary technical support system.I would like to personally thank the Avsim staff, Tom Allensworth, Robert Kirkland along with John Room, Rob Elliot, Ben Jones etc. for their continued effort supporting the users of PSS products in the forums during this outage.Antony Waterfield."
