It seems that there will always be someone, who wants to complain about something. This whole thread can be answered by one simple statement. If you don't like something, than bring it up with the party that offends you, rather than starting a "crusade" on a public site. There are too many people who are more than happy to try to show their "literacy skills", or dazzle everyone else with their "superior intelligence" wasting much time and bandwidth.In the end nothing gets accomplished, except a platform for some opinions! (Mine included :-) )Just a personal observation! Peace and Happy New Year to all!Pete S.

I thought of something... In defense of Eaglesoft.Eaglesoft's Avidyne system GA aircrafts are in a different category than the usual addon aircrafts. Here is why.I have seen Justflight Seneca costing $19 which in opinion is nothing really. Its half as good as some of the default aircrafts.When Eaglesoft was coming out with their avudyne system, I would have paid $100-$200 for it. It falls in the cateogry of PMDG type systems and aircrafts. This is not slapping some GA guages and putting it out there with some eye candy as an addon. If you look at PFC and what they sell their Avidyne systems for, it would become clear.As a marketing stragety, MS Fsim community would not go for that $100-$200 range.. so it needs to be marketed at the regular GA aircraft price range..which from a vendors point there will not be much incentive to do these system heavy aircrafts. They could take the easy way out and do steam guages. So, if they had calculated to recoup their cost by selling every version, than, that makes sense too. For me, All I needed was 1 aircraft with the Avidyine system. The second one has diminishng reutrns for me.The same logic would apply to their G1000 system aircraft.Manny

Manny,Thanks for realizing the challenges to produce the Avidyne Entegra System for flight simulation. The original SR20 project took over 16 months to develop and was released at a very reasonable price.We followed up with an entirely different aircraft in the SR22 which included another 8 months to develop the Avidyne Entegra System with the newest 6.0 software enhancements which included Flight Director, Horizontal Heading reference and a number of advanced features along with vastly improved FPS in FS9.True to our word, after another 9-10 months, we eventually added five new 2006 liveries, 2 interior revisions, and the Avidyne Entegra 6.0 Software Upgrade to the original SR20 and provided FREE OF CHARGE to original SR20 owners:-)Fast forward to SR20 and SR22 for FSX. In both cases we spent another 6 months in Avidyne Entegra 6.0 development for seamless operation in FSX, added a few more SR22 liveries and issued 30% Discount Coupons for FS9 owners to transition over to FSX.In December, we issued 30% Christmas Discount Coupons for our entire line of aircraft which of course included the SR20 and the SR22. --------------------------------------------------------------------The irony here is that the original poster ignored every fact presented here even though it has been public knowledge since October, 2006 when we began to talk about these things in our support forums and press releases.In addition, the OP made untrue and/or uninformed statements regarding our challenges/workload in producing for FSX. The OP would have us set our pricing policy to please HIM or run the risk of HIS painting Eaglesoft and Pete Dowson with HIS limited outlook on what developers should do to please HIM, as if HE were the only customer who matters and as if HE gets to judge for others what our pricing policy should be.In our view, all of this would have been avoided had the OP simply read our support forums, press releases, documentation, or contacted us privately. Our customers know us for excellent product support and the OP could have had the same had he chosen too...At the end of the day, nothing has changed. Eaglesoft will continue to build fine aircraft for both FS9 and FSX, and will continue it's Discount Program to help customers make the transition to FSX when they are ready:-)
