February 18, 201214 yr I hadn't seen this before - maybe old news for some, but new and 'enlightening' for me...http://www.simpilotn...id=13&Itemid=32- particularly the "Beyond the fight sim market" paragraph.More grist for the mill.... :( Edited February 18, 201214 yr by Paul J i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
February 18, 201214 yr That's a very old article, Stephen. Think 2006?I find the references to Stephen Stever and Bird's Eye View offensive. While some may want to paint history in a certain light, those that were also active in some manner during the development of Bird's Eye View might recall a completely different version of "involvement, marketing, success, etc".
February 18, 201214 yr Author Yeah - I didn't see a date, but in recognizing it was at least five years old - what I found fascinating were JV's vision re the commercial market. That's been hinted at by Allan and Konrad here in this forum, and somewhat poo-poo'd upon by most - (my feelings, too), but perhaps this is the reason and background to the eruption at Christmas?

I bought "Birds Eye View" on the first day. I ended up with all the seasons and used the "Korby Textures" option. All I remember now was the extreme nastiness and public vicious knife fight that ensued, but don't recall who said and did what or when to whom. It sickened me. There was a big lesson to be learned from that.Kind regards,
February 18, 201214 yr Author haha! You as well, eh, Stephen! Koorby's stuff was pretty good, but I remember being really disappointed with BEV. Then of course, along came UT_USA-Canada and GEX, a bit of FScene here and there, and life was good! i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
