So we should all donate a little something to keep the good times going I did not know this. I will be heading over to donate now and will contribute monthly. I use this plane almost exclusively and absolutely love it. The fact it keeps getting better and better and they don't ask for a penny is unbelievable. I'll definitely give what I can.

This is not how much the servers cost to operate - the budget is how much money OpenCollective projects us to receive in a year based on current balance and recurring donations. I would say the figure is closer to $15,000 USD at the moment, the main expense being CDN costs. Please do not contact me via DM for support or help with the A32NX mod.

These guys deserve all the best wishes from the flight sim community.

I actually had no idea about the costs until I clicked on the Donate button. I think its great that the finances are open book and the user base can see what it really costs to run such a project.
