POSCON offering ,000 to buy VATSIM for continued development.

Statement from Matt Davies, POSCON technical development director:

The Flight Sim scene over the past decade has grown immensely with both its user-base and the quality of products being released. I’ve been flying now for over 12 years and one thing that hasn’t moved with the times is the mainstream online flying networks. It’s not up-to-date by today’s standards and yet it still has an active user-base, mainly due to the fact that there’s a minimal amount of alternative services. This is where POSCON comes in. POSCON is being built from the ground-up by a team of very skilled developers. However, no matter how skilled you are in your field, if you have no guidance on the direction of the project, then you essentially hit a brick wall. This is why I’ve taken over as Lead Technical Manager, to offer my experience in team management, project management and to be able to move things forward for POSCON in a timely manner.

The offer that we submitted to VATSIM is a reasonable one and regardless of what people say, we have the best intentions at heart – the community. People have been crying out for a better, up-to-date network for years and nothing has surfaced from VATSIM, despite all of their promises over the last decade. If VATSIM accept the offer, when POSCON is released, we can transfer all existing VATSIM user data, thus meaning you get to keep everything intact. The idea is to have one “go-to network” that everyone, both pilots AND controllers can benefit from. The features that we are developing are second-to-none in comparison to what’s available today and will really change the online flying experience for the better. I get that I am not liked by everyone but if we’re being realistic, there isn’t anyone that exists on this planet that has the ability to please everyone.

At the end of the day, POSCON/projectFLY/Simstall, although I’m a part of it, it’s not just me – there is an entire team behind it of varying personalities and skill sets. Don’t discount them because you dislike me. Give it time, have a little faith in our ability and I can promise you that we will deliver what you’ve always wanted. To end – I’ve seen some talk of people being worried about “splits”. Quite simply, there won’t be. If there’s no other network that will be able to compete with the features that POSCON will offer, then essentially, where will everyone go? Be excited, enjoy the build up as much as the finished product – life isn’t always about instant gratification. Be a part of it.
