Mike T.I will buy your plane. If for no other reason becuase so many guys from PMDG seem to be such biased pigs. Why dont they have room in there little world for another fine add on. From the comments I have read I am in. I do need the web site to go get it. Thats coorect I have not even seen pics but will buy due to the fact the baby attitude from most (not all) of the PMDG group.Thanks.Also thanks for serving our country.Mark.P.S. Hey Alex look a lost coustomer. Actions speak louder than words.

Hi Volker,thanks for your voice of reason - I couldn't have put it better myself. Yes, past reputation will factor a lot into people's purchasing decisions, but companies with such reputaions have often been 'turned around'. Still, I will not be purchasing the plane until some reliable reviews are out, and so far I have seen no indication that the company has departed from its previous ways...Of course, their 'infomercial' style marketing strategy is also a major turn-off. It's that type of agressive marketing coupled with poor quality and poor customer service that persuaded me to boycott North American products wherever possible (a bit ironic, as I live in Canada). Seeing a British company jumping on the same bandwagon (notwithstanding their shady credentials) makes me want to avoid them even more.Cheers,Gosta.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg

"PMDG seem to be such biased pigs."Yeah, see, here's how it is...We're trying to keep this thread civil so folks might actually learn about this new Ariane release. And your attitude isn't helping.Clean it up or move... your choice.Greg

If I was part of the Ariane team I would give a copy to Avsim and flightsim.com for a review. If the review was good they would sell.

How do you know it's a fine add-on? Have you spent the $90 bucks on it? Awaiting your review. :-)

Mark,I would suggest you edit your post, as insults are not tolerated on these forums.Cheers,Gosta.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg

Sorry, If I went a bit to far but I cant edit. It dose not even come and say its been past an hour. Just erase it. It wont matter. I should have left my comment at just biased. Sorry about that. I am looking forward to Mr. T's plane. The comments from those that have flown it have sold me.Take care,Mark.

Mike, please list your web site to take a look at your plane in that I have plans to buy.Thanks Mark.

Don't get me going on these guys. They won't quit spamming me. I have tried everything to stop it but they just won't listen.

The fact that we now have 150 posts in this thread and not one buyer review may say all that needs to be said about this new Ariane offering.Greg

Jeroen,may I suggest you do some research before posting unfounded allegations? If you search the archives, you will find that Mike has posted under the same handle (give or take an underscore) for some considerable time. A library search may hold further revelations...Cheers,Gosta.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg

Some of these Randy "Calm Down" posts crack me up. They are allowed to post their feelings and somehow I need to calm down? SURE thing. Why don't you guys stick to posting about a sim subject insted of getting so personal with good'ol Randy? Don't like my replys? Don't read or respond . I could care less what "some" of you think about me or my *strong opinion*, if you don't like what I say in a thread IGNORE it or stay out of the thread, simple! Tomorrow, lesson 2 on hypocrisy....

MarkCould you please share those comments with us? It would be interesting to see what they say. No matter what you said about my collegues in an earlier thread, I am truly interested in what made you decide to buy it. Please some facts and data on the table. Pretty please?

Calling me a hypocrite was uncalled for. I never stated that you were not allowed to express your feelings, I simply stated that I thought you were being a little hard on someone for having a different opinion than you. It was some friendly advice...in the future I'll make sure not to offer you such opinions!-Mikkel
