April 29, 20224 yr Wondering if under the hood there is something custom made or they again rely on MSFS logic ? Their Corsair is broken and no sign of any fix for this one... Artur
April 29, 20224 yr A free copy every 10 minutes. What about those of us who are not lucky to win a copy. What's it going to cost? MSFS
April 29, 20224 yr 47 minutes ago, 6297J said: $31.0 would be good. LOL Devs have done a good job conditioning simmers that MSFS is P3D. So they get away with similar pricing. I have nothing against devs charging what they are worth. Everyone deserves to make a living. But, now they can't make the excuse that MSFS is a professional simulator. MSFS

April 29, 20224 yr 22 minutes ago, DJJose said: So they get away with similar pricing. The economics of flight sim development are a tough sell. These planes sell almost exclusively to core simmers (in other words, the expanded crowd brought in by MSFS doesn't buy them) and 5000 copies is a good number over the lifetime, with 10,000 being seen as an enormous success, for a product that takes specialty expertise and generally have long times to market (anywhere from 2-10 person years of dev time). At $31, that buys you basically one or two developers over the course of that time to eek out a small profit, or maybe just pay the salaries and keep the doors open. The argument can be made that at something like $10 it should sell much better, but I don't think the market bears that. As a concrete example, for a usual 5K units sold the NXi would be around a $120 price point just to break even and make no money at all. A smash hit at 20K units makes that break even point $30. There's a reason the market is dominated by single digit dev shops, retired folks wanting a little bit of second income, and hobbyist devs with other jobs. Edited April 29, 20224 yr by MattNischan
