A bit surprised by total silence after I asked to have access to their forum, no reply after two weeks... Are they still in business? I was hoping to see at least one of their aircraft made available in P3Dv4.5 someday... reason why I was seeking to get to their forum reserved to registered users only.

Anybody has any news regarding their project coming to fruition or else?...

Thanks for any feedback.

They're sort of in business... I guess? They released their XLS for 32-bit only, charged $119, and on top of that require users to fork over another $40 for their proprietary navdata instead of Navigraph. 

Those are really solid business decisions! Now they only need to charge $5 per repaint.

Last I heard from them the p3d4 version was nearly ready to go (this was December) - but very much doubt anything will happen until the 32 bit version service pack is out and working OK.....

That's alarming news indeed... 150$ for a business plane is going to be a challenge and yet it's not even the platform I use! Thanks for that feedback.

You should search for the thread it's an entertaining one. 😀

There’s certainly a huge opportunity out there for the right high detail bizjet addon.

The Flysimware Falcon 50 and Learjet 35A are a couple of good candidates that satisfy that criteria and are P3Dv5 compatible.

I have purchased some of their products in fsx. I had totally forgot about them and just tried to log in and couldn't. I used the forgotten email link and nothing after checking all places in gmail. They must have purged my account. Thats A1 costumer service for you.

I used to buy their aircraft all the time and really liked them. I'm surprised that they lost interest.

Pretty odd to release their latest offering for P3D3, but that's their choice.

I'm hoping they get back in the game and build to current platforms!

if you're referring to flysimware, give them an email, they have in my experience provided excellent support, even transferring over a licence from a now defunct business at now cost so I immdeiately bought the Falcon as as sign of gratitutde..

I'd be surprised if they still were given their mind boggling business decisions.

Amen

Though I wouldn't be so hard on ES.  In years past they've made the best bizjets products.  If they think 32bit is a market they'll do what they think is best for them!

I believe they are still creating the 64bit version of their xls, along with Citation X for p3d and Challenger
