April 23, 20188 yr I knew this project was dead when they started trying to hype cold and dark starts as a major feature. Maybe a developer with some competence and a long term vision can pick up the license.

April 23, 20188 yr I had a discussion in the Forums with Chock (Alan) when this first came out, i thought that DTG would abandon it pretty much as soon as it was released...i guess i was wrong, it didn't even get to the release stage. Ultimately i am not sorry to see it go, development was slow and scattergun, DTG had no idea who they were attempting to get onboard with the product, was it first timers, was it people like us, was it everyone. 4 minutes ago, Anders Bermann said: **Cough** PMDG **Cough** No thanks. I am a fan of the Aircraft but i suspect PMDG would tie it down even more than DTG license wise regarding 3rd parties. Ian R Tyldesley

Yearh, you're probably right... It was more meant of a joke. Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471

PMDG is apparently a successful business, why on earth would they want to get involved in developing a new sim?

Flying the A10c study sim having to learn all its systems and weapons delivery to PMDG level except of course PMDG wonderful as it is, is following a sleepy magenta line..in fact all of civilian sim is mostly magenta line ..sleepy....Its a thrill fighting for your life whilst still needing advanced navigation skills . Way more skill than piloting any civilian aircraft Think of DCS like pilot edge a niche sector flying in a small area where staring at scenery half awake is not the goal. get the picture now? I like them both but leaning more towards DCS these days Edited April 23, 20188 yr by zmak ZORAN

I think you might be addressing this to the wrong person, it wasn't me either suggesting that they should or saying that they would. Personally given how 'jealously' they guard their IP i think that they are about the last people i would want to develop a sim. I don't think for one moment that they would do a bad job, i think it would be excellent, i also think it would entirely kill the free side of the hobby. Ian R Tyldesley

It's easy being Monday Morning Quarterback... Well, let me quote myself for once: on May 18, 2017 someone said in a topic about the bad reviews FSW was getting: "P3D or XP11 are the future" and I replied "Or Aerofly FS 2. But well, not FSW, that's for sure." Seems I was right from the start.

Got my license in a Cessna 152, flown many commercial sims in military and civilian apps. Today I flew from Ireland to Belgium in a 737. Can't do any of that in DCS world. Get the picture?

April 23, 20188 yr i think if the fsx license goes up for sale again, it would make more sense for LM to get it and be able to sell P3D for general users. Anybody else would have to start from scratch with teh bare code like DTG tried to do, right? So they'd start out like 3 years or more behind. IDK why anybody would want to try that now.

But to be honest, I highly doubt that Lockheed-Martin has any interest in distributing P3D for the consumer market...
