@Simbol - Any further news on MP approval of the Sting S4?

I think he have coded into that plane that once the chute will be dropped, you have to buy the addon again ... like in RL

Like many others, I will be buying the Sting as soon as I spot it on the Market Place.

After that, I'll be starting my mission to find out what it will take to convince @simbol to develop and release a Diamond DA50RG model.

It's Thursday, 1430z and it's not arrived at Marketplace yet 😭 ....but as MS is West Coast US perhaps there's still hope that it'll still come, later today 😎

Go on, ping him a Whatsapp "Wakey wakey!" and let's hope his ringer's turned on 😁

Only joking, I appreciate it's probably still out of hours over there.

Just this second checked (16:45 UK) and not there.    But sounds very imminent!

I hope that the Marketplace has a recovery parachute on standby if the internet engine fails when this thing is released :wink:

For the guys that were asking why MP only, I explained one of the many reasons here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/619044-sting-s4-round-the-world-parachute-deployments/page/2/

DRM handling is massive, to this day I am still clearing licensing keys for AI Lights Reborn Professional (P3D) when people change computers, etc. and I am not even selling more than 3 copies per month.. every-time someone activates AILRP for the first time I get charged $2 usd for DRM handling.. not to mention the difficulties and time it takes to code DRM protection, installers, etc.

Now some people argue DRM development is pointless, well folks that might be the case when you can sell million of copies of a product.. so for UBISOFT, Activision and such large firms piracy is a problem but not an issue, however for small companies such as my family business + operating on a niche market such as Flight Simulation, piracy it is a big problem.. I know 3rd party devs on this business where their products pretty much stops selling as soon as it gets pirated, and this can occur as fast as 24 to 72 hours after release! at which point and I quote, "they sold 4 copies in the last 3 months, after having around 70 copies daily".

 

Huh, that's an interesting perspective about the MP and how it has inherent DRM that I had never really considered!

We know the downsides to the MP (such as the lag time for updates because of the approval process), but I'd never thought of the upsides beyond broader exposure.

I wish you luck with this release.  It sounds great!

I'm also stuck at work haha, but I will buy this as soon as I see it available. If nothing more to support you Simbol. It looks like a blast to fly. I can't wait.

A diabolical scheme like that would drive Trevor Jacob right into bankruptcy!!! 😁
