Wow thanks for this, weird seeing our hobby in the news, not an owner of xplane but this makes me want to support it.

I supported Austin in is fight for Patent Trols the moment he first asked for it.

 

I admire his perseverance!

What concerns me is that he said he would spend his money to the last Pennie to win this lawsuit, and while it would be a victory for him, would be very bad for the X-Plane community, since X-Plane development would take a huge hit with that money going elsewhere. But I support his fight, hope they can reach a solution without spending millions of dollars.

+1 your right, I hope this lawsuit doesn't cripple the update schedule and future versions of xp. :Praying:

I get the impression that Austin is obscenely wealthy and won't be running out of money any time soon even if he has to burn through a few million in a lawsuit.

I think Austin is a lot more worried with his new applications for RL flying than any other thing. The projects look great of course, like the virtual co-pilot, but the poor XP10 users would like him back with some more core development/fixes ;-)
