>I think you need to get back on your meds man.>>RobNope, just put the FSD experience out of my life. Permanently. Even their free products aren't worth the cost. I have no idea how a developer stays in business with this kind of attitude toward its customers, but it does at least confirm the decision the O2A would be my last purchase from them was the right one. Don't get this kind of aggro from Flight 1, Aerosoft, Aeroworx, Shockwave, Eaglesoft, DreamFleet, Real Air, MAAM-Sim, Digital Aviation or even any of the smaller developers. At one time FSD were major players. Enough said.Allcott

Do your research Rob. This is just a tip of a very large iceberg.Allcott

>Last words heard from the control tower: "Hey y'all, watch this"!LOL (Yes, that's all I wanted to say here. ;) )Although... shouldn't it be 'Last words heard from the pilot...? ;)EDIT:One more thing: is there a demo of the 337?

Oops, you are right. Aint usin good english. But Ill fix it. ;)

>Do your research Rob. This is just a tip of a very large iceberg.>>>AllcottI understand they are doing great research in anger management. You might want to look into it. Seriously, you need help.Rob

You appear as an FSD apologist every time one of these threads starts, yet rarely contribute more generally. Who are you, a staff member on the FSD team? BTW, as an afterword I now note that my login to their forum no longer recognises my (correct) password. So of course I can't login to change my email address - and can no longer request technical support for products I bought and paid for. Coincidence? When it comes to behaviour rectification therapy you might want to suggest it to your buddies in the team. Allcott

The 337 is a wonderful bird in FS X. They did an outstanding job. I had a problem with the installer when I first downloaded it too. Rather than rant I just asked them for help and I was up and running within in hour of writing them.Quite honestly, I think the above referenced poster is simply immature, ill mannered and inappropriately trying to hijack a thread for his own questionable reason. My 2 cents.

English isn't my native language either, but shouldn't it say :Last words heard by the control Tower ? :-hah

I really can't see how a persons Rant about their disagreement with a developer enhances a positive thread from a fellow simmer.So what you're saying is that anytime a positive thread is started about a payware add-on that means no other simmers can offer a dissenting perspective? Great! The other solution is for the a really excited user to head over to the FSD forums, where dissenting threads are quickly removed and the account of anyone who makes them is deleted. No doubt all you'll see there is positive stuff.

The topic was `FSD did it again`. Clearly, they did. You cannot deduce the true value of a product from any comments in the FSD forums. It is important to all simmers that all aspects of the ownership experience are known, nicluding aftermarket support. Basically, as long as you have no need of support I am sure you will be very, very happy. Allcott

>English isn't my native language either, but shouldn't it say>:>>Last words heard by the control Tower ? :-hah Yep...you're right

No doubt all you'll see>there is positive stuff.You are probably right about their forums, but I think that's pretty much true of every developer's private forum. Hijacking a thread for an immature rant is not offering a perspective. And it just makes the individual look like a fool. From reading everything in this thread, including FSD's participation, it seems clear that they are bending over backwards trying to give good service. I think some people just like to rant in order to get attention.
