I'd love to see one of these too.

 

Wow!

 

Have you noticed that you have unburried a 4+ year old topic?    :Applause:

What looks to be a very good 717 was just released by TFDI.

I'm sorry, but you're not reading this well. I have nothing against TFDi, don't have any reason to do so. What I'm against of is the seemengly current trend of some developers rushing their products to the market and advertising them as if they were ready, when they were not meticulously tested, and what you probably don't know or have not realized yet, is that the number of those developers is increasing lately, and not only for aircraft but for all types of add-on development.

All products have a development cycle that should be respected and a beta team that should be meticulously chosen to represent at its best the vast majority of setups existent on the market. Our hobby is becoming more and more interesting as we have more competition, but that competition have to do with more quality products, more efficiency, and of course, with a positive attitude from our side - the customers - to be open to tolerate some minor bugs at the beginning, considering these as normal and acceptable (and read well, minor or quickly resolved bugs).

I just read at the TFDi forums this morning (my time), these guys apologizing for all the delays in getting the B717 to an acceptable level of performance, and that the mistakes they've made will not be repeated again. That's a good step forward, but obviously - and they know it - that will not solve the issues that most customers are having after paying the full 60 bucks for an obviously unfinished product. What I do or what I don't do is absolutely of no importance here, the most important is the developers read well, and understand what they're doing wrong and change that rather quickly, otherwise they'll be left out of the market. I suppose we are here to enjoy the hobby, ask and demand super-excellent quality products and super-willing to pay for them, but without doing any beta testing ourselves, aren't we?.

Cheers, Ed

We do not allow the discussion of other devs here.

 

If you have a bone to pick with another dev, that's fine, but be sure to do them the favor of picking that bone where they can see it and benefit from its picking. Posting here is kinda like posting behind their back, which we wouldn't want happen to us.

 

Gonna go ahead and end it here.
