Why not? Lot of users still using P3D

How many against the 15 Million that use MSFS?

There are users (myself) included who still uses P3D and MSFS. However the number is very small for P3D, They have halted all of the P3D development last year or so as a result I don't think P3D customers will see any major updates any time soon. With MSFS 2024 releasing soon - I am sure the developers focus will then swap to 2024 version by that time there is nothing left for P3D. I have accepted the fact that all of products in P3D (PMDG or FSlabs) will not receive any further updates going forward.

Not even close to that.  Even Mathias at PMDG said it’s in heyday, P3D was never a huge user base, it’s the definition of a niche product.  
 

MSFS has fundamentally changed flight simming to a big audience.  

This is one big joke right? 
 

this stuff gets leaked, then the CEO of the company says don’t believe what you see. Then after all that, still doesn’t give some type of press release and tells us it won’t be much longer. 
 

If it wasn’t for such a niche market, I highly doubt this approach would survive in any other market.

I may be wrong, but I wouldn't cultivate hopes of it not being a CEO. While some details on the page may have been inaccurate, the picture Lefteris posted doesn't seem compatible with a neo to me. 

Having been burned by FSLabs in P3D before, and with their infamous malware incident still fresh in memory, I am very happy to support a developer like Fenix who came out strong and set a new standard.

FSLabs will definitely not be anywhere near my PC, even if they made their products freeware.

That's kind of the issue.

It's not such a niche market anymore and I'm not sure some developers like FSLabs have realized it.

They launched their company 14 years ago with Concorde so it must have been successful. Of course it won’t sell as many as the Airbus but for those who love the aircraft it’s a must-have. It might also attract the curious who want to fly faster than Mach 0.84.

I agree entirely 🙂

As to Mach 2, I prefer HeatBlur's Tomcat in DCSW - especially when I can recover at -720 fpm to a 300 foot runway moving at 20 kts in a crosswind. 😁

But can you do that in MSFS?

I’ve just completed Nassau to Boston in 1h 20m flat. 59,000ft reached and a butter smooth landing at 69fpm. Proud of that. 😁

Carriers shouldn’t move in a crosswind, the wind is always down the angled deck for recovery.

Sure you can.  There’s the Heatblur F-14 in MSFS, and there’s aircraft carriers to land on.

No, sir. At least not with High Fidelity 😉

Love those birds - wish they had been able to keep them flying IRL. 🤙

The ship is sailing into wind, but the landing area is angled 9 deg to port.

Couldn’t agree more.

One things for sure...with all the drama this "leak" has created it's also created a TON of visibility for FSL. 

Well done lol.
