Sorry, but why would developers such as PMDG, Milviz, Flysimware and others invest in developing and sell programs for MSFS?

It's simple: money. Here there is no room for analysis of what is better, but how many potential customers will buy the product. Pure business

Well another factor is that I am unconvinced by experience with MSFS that it is truly the future simming platform.😎

Add me to that list. ☺️

Suspect many more but they may wish to remain anonymous for the next little while....😎

And what exactly do you see there, on this confusing website ???

References to 32-bit FSX and P3D suggest they have not created anything for 64-bit P3D.

And scroll down to the bottom of the main page where the Copyright date is 2002. 21 years ago! 😳

If they’re serious about creating aircraft for the current version of P3D they could start by updating their website.

Ah ok, I understand :-)
However, this is also not necessarily a product I was waiting for (No Navigraph, but Real Nav....)

Well, when I checked it yesterday it was down. In any case, I still think Eaglesoft is dead.

It was directed more towards the developers one of whom has posted in this topic.

Some clarity on their plans is best shown on their website.

This is a tough biz for everyone. I suspect there are only so many coders, gauge programmers and texture artists to go around. The good ones are currently working for the highest bidder. Everyone else, hurry up and wait.

To quote Mark Twain: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" or premature.... Same holds true for Eaglesoft....😎

Newtie is correct:" To be sure the pool of talented coders, programmers, and other artist capable of contributing to team project efforts has been shrinking over recent times. We suspect that scenario will continue going forward resulting in either affiliative and/or collaborative efforts on various platforms and/or teams. Another interesting trend among flight simulation enthusiasts on any of the platforms is to attempt to keep cost down and quality up. Quite the challenge these days as it were....😎

Another aspect is those who prefer a given platform, DB, or development house being vocally abusive towards those who are not of said platform, DB, or development house.

Nevertheless we shall continue to develop for 64 Bit ESP Based Platforms until such affiliative and/or collaborative efforts on various platforms are presented for consideration.😎

Word salad... I still can't tell if ESDG is a functional development team that plans to release a product in the near future.

"Nevertheless we shall continue to develop for 64 Bit ESP Based Platforms..."  Hmm, what part of this is not understood?

In addition the 64 Bit XLS+ is near end of Beta Testing and will be forthcoming when completed.
