Thanks Steve!!!Phenomenal of you to jump in... As for FS9 being viable, you don't have to convince any of us in this thread!!! We are the resilient few who get a :( everytime we try to convince people HOW viable FS9 is from a user perspective :( From a developers perspective is a whole different matter and like you said it is a risky venture at this point. I know I am still having those "holy crud look at that moments" in FS9 where it continues to blow me away regularly. Especially flying those heavies into massive hubs with full AI REX and ASE in full force...I am still amazed from an end user perspective at how much FS9 delivers but from an earnings perspective for the developers; well that is diminishing rapidly and nowhere near where we were a few years ago.-PPS... This is obviously just my opinion, not trying to state a fact or anything, just my perception recently..
I share all what Paul wrote.I bought the iFly, yes, and I am enjoying it a lot! I believe though, that when the NGX from PMDG come out, will be many WOW words and watery mouths. Maybe with some initial bugs, which is normal.I believe, as an FS9'r, the time of it is coming to an end in my perspective, and in my PCBFP that is running it. But at least I finish the FS9 chapter with joy! :( Best regards! B)

I don't see one add-on getting most FS9 enthusiasts to switch to FSX (If that was what you were inferring). It isn't the lack of aircraft in FSX that deters people from it's use. It's the inherent differences in FSX in general.It is definitely a good time to be a user of both sims. :(

Correction, SALES, not user numbers speak louder than words (to developers). I'm an fs9 user, and that's just reality.

Hey, Jure, do you plan on doing any more repaints? Batting%20Eyelashes.gifOh, and guilty. Depending on the SP progress over the next few weeks, I may return it, then repurchase when the SP comes out.

Very likely, if I find the time. Now that I'm in the groove another Southwest could appear soon(ish) :Whistle:Regards,Jure

Another one guilty here. I jumped on it the moment I heard it was released.

I'll probably buy this today or soon-ish. To be honest I'd prefer an A320 for FS9 (no reason, just me) but it looks like that's not going to happen in reality. So another Boeing it is for FS9.
