Imaginesim and the likes

[PebbleBeach 120]

Does anyone know why software companies such as Imaginesim and the likes do not permit us to purchase their FS9 legacy products?

You can simply send them an E-Mail. They replied within a few hours, sent me a paypal adress and then sent the requested scenery.

Thanks Nick,

But why have to send an email? Why not just add a link for their legacy products and allow us to purchase as normal? And its not just Imaginesim. Many others.

Maybe don't want their current products represented by their old?

I like that some developers make their old stuff freeware. If I ever purchase later on, I look for things like this and look to support such developers.

They probably don’t want to sell it so that they won’t have to offer support for it. I think a few developers have said that was the reason they’ve completely removed FS9 products from sales pages. Although they could still sell it with a disclaimer that they won’t offer support.

Another reason could be that some of the airports could be out of date as far a terminals, runways, etc. and they don’t want to put something on the market that doesn’t reflect what is current today.

I suppose each developer has their own reason and you’d probably have to email each one to get an accurate reason aside from our guessing.
