This one is devolving real quickly into a mud slinging match. Topic now locked.

Grahame (and all),Thanks for the comments that really sum everything up nicely. What is the flap about this product and why is it different from any others?If the problem is the fact that there are freeware offerings out there, then no product could ever be released (save for a few very unique utility type products). How many people have bought the PMDG or Arianne 737's, the PSS 777 or 747, the latest King Air, Ultimate Traffic, etc etc etc? All of these titles either had freeware available that does the same thing or were aircraft included in FS. Is this fire storm because the package doesnt seem "big" enough? Peter has done an outstanding job on these textures and in my opinion they look great (especially the new sky textures). I am not so crazy to think that everyone will share that opinion. A product like FS Water will always have those who like it and those who do not because it is closer to a piece of art. It is not a gauge that works or doesnt or a aircraft that looks right or doesnt, it is a texture rendition that some people will find very pleasing and that some will not.In the end the decision to purchase or not is up to you, but to say we are turning into another less respected company because of this product is pretty far fetched.Best Regards,Tom MainFlight One Software
