I've abandoned the T7 for the LDS767 about a year ago. Can't remember what the exact problems all were.Shame really, as it did show potential.

OTOH it does give developers a chance to bounce ideas off of potential customers, find the sweet spot between development effort and what customers want.Do they really want flushing toilets?Would scrapping the moving seatbacks in the first class cabin cost more in lost sales than it saves in time and development effort?things like that.

hehe. Obviously a flushing toilet is going to be included by any developer worth their salt. I don't care how good the flight model or avionics are, if the water dosn't flow counter-clockwise them it's a rubbish model!...Steven.

I don't care myself which way the water flows (as long as it's down...), but I demand better meals than KLM serves in economy class ;)

The ACES team sure didn't make it an easy task for aircraft developers.

Well.. Lou, you insinuated that Bill stole something. Now, I am curious to know what.:)Manny

>Well.. Lou, you insinuated that Bill stole something. Now, I>am curious to know what.>>:)>>MannyNo he didn't. Bill asked me what 'idea' was stolen. Lou simply replied that he would not make it public. There was no accusation levelled at Bill or Eaglesoft.

>The ACES team sure didn't make it an easy task for aircraft>developers....and it's made even less easy by people who criticize the wrong party...It has never been an easy task, unless you count the FS4 aircraft editor.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

they make it a lot easier than users who whine about cockpit windows being a pixel too large (I've seen it), a dielectric antenna being raked at a fraction of a percent incorrectly (yes, it happened), or the shock absorbers of the landing gear compressing a fraction of a percent too far (seen that one too).Not to mention all the kids who think how a 747 flies based solely on seeing how big it is compared to a Cessna and complain about the flight dynamics based on that "knowledge" and have to be placated or they'll cause a flood of flames all over the net.

>Yeah, Train Sim II is due 2009, so my wild guess at FSXI is>2011. (Unless you consider FSX+REX=FSXI ;))FSX+REX+FTX = FS11 !

FYI Lou, the Times article had to do with unfounded and untrue accusations being published as if they were true. The Times is still smarting over their tabloid journalistic practices and that in all fairness is what Bill was refering too:-)I remember certain conversations with fellow developers like yourself who alluded to the fact that they monitor competitors forums like a hawk in order to grab an idea and impliment it into a project before the originator could deliver...I also remember instructing my entire team to NOT participate in such low practices even though we've had it done to us:-)Since you asked Bill if he wanted to work with you let me ask the same...any of your Team who would like to work with us? Didn't think so..Ah, this business IS truly fun :-lol :-lol

Its a Dog eat Dog World Out There.......better start wearing milkbone underwear..... :-lol
