Waffler11 here! You're 1 post away from 20,000! Way to go mate!

That aside, I'm betting the 310 will be well over $50, but I'll buy it, of course! (If I don't win it)

Hehe.... See @ryanbatc ...start posting pics of a plane you have that nobody else has any they turn on you! 😁

(raises hand) Guilty as charged. 😳  But the 2 twins I was previewing were slightly bigger, hehe.  One is out of course...and the other one.....soon®.

oOOOHHH... @ryanbatc make your 20k post to this post!   I'd be honored 🙂

Don't give them any ideas.

As for Ryan's 20K posts. I think he has more like 40K because he changed his profile. He's one of our best members.

PARTY TIME!!!

I'm not a tester, I'm a content creator, I was sent a copy for review purposes a few days early. It's out Wednesday.

Thank you so much for your kind review!

I hope you get many many hours of enjoyment out of the 310! 🙂

Very kind of you guys to send me a copy for review 🙂 It's a fantastic product and one I can see myself flying a lot honestly... it's one of those 'well put together' sim aircraft that ticks so many boxes... features, speed, good flight dynamics, great visibility, great avionics options and pretty looks!

Now finish the darn beaver... 😛  If it's half of what this is, I won't fly another plane again (Except maybe this)

😕 yikes

Given what other planes went for like the Boeing 247D, which came with its own radio navigation system, music radio stations and other intrigiung features, and the "other" twin Cessna which flies faster, higher and gets regular weekly updates, $50 would be an extremely hard pill to swallow.   Even though I like Milviz products and have bought every one they've came out with for this sim (even waiting for some stuff that's already been paid for), I'd be more tempted to pass, sorry to say.

Paraphrase:

Sorry to bother you but I thought you might appreciate this $5 discount for our upcoming c310. WOW! It's no bother, thank you Milviz!

There are some devs that simply get it.

Don't assume anything about the price.  You'll know tomorrow.  You might be pleasantly surprised, who knows?

While you wait (not much longer!) here's a video by one of our pilot advisors zkdos, a real world 310 pilot.

It's his first YouTube video, and the sound of his voice can be hard to hear once the engines get above idle, but it's worth it to follow a real pilot on a real flight he's made in real life.  Showing how to fly the 310.  Pay attention to his landing technique, many of the reviewers are trying to land this like an ordinary GA twin.  It's not one of those!

Problem is, the 247, while a phenominal offering for an incredible price, is now used as a hammer to beat any developer charging more. That developer chose to lowball hard to increase sales of what might have otherwise been ignored honestly. It's a great strategy... but using that example to compare to this, or other aircraft is a little 1 dimensional... prices are relative, and a 'certain standard' has had a ballpark price for some time... it varies sure, but it does depend.

People don't blink at paying $100 for a tubeliner 😄

[jimcarrel 688]

I think now days, more and more people do blink at a $100 bucks. That's two tanks of gas (on average) unless of course you are filling a tractor trailer so you can deliver produce so that people can purchase it.

Inflation is a delightful merrygoround... it even effects creative industries too.

Having purchased from Milviz before, I got a cheerful email a few minutes ago, with details on the $5 off coupon !

Like to hear your comparison between the 310 and the Seminole.

Me too. I have a feeling that they will price this one accordingly. Milviz is a respected developer.
