May 28May 28 Ok now they have my attention. That was a much better presentation as to what they are about. The pics look great. Hopefully performance and systems match the pics because i would love to have top quality 787 available to fly.

May 28May 28 Thanks for the info @Tuskin38 I was not aware at all. Looks like they are building fast. Do you think those guys from Vector Sim are comparable to Quality Wings for P3D/FSX?

May 28May 28 Someday I want a development head give a TED Talk on a "How to start a Company that builds Add-On Aircraft".I find it highly fascinating but can't wrap my head around how you can start with building such a high def aircraft from scratch, with nothing to your name, like Fenix did and Vector is doing now. How does one set this up in a financially sound way that pays a team of 20+ people for years and covers development and research costs.If a company who already has a business going does something like this, I can understand it, but starting from zero and then tackling an Airliner like this out of the gate? Fenix showed that it can be done, but how does one acquire a financial starter package that gets one going for something like this?
May 28May 28 This reminds me of when Fenix burst onto the scene.That didn't end too badly now, did it?Stu i7 12700K , DDR4 64GB RAM @3600MHz, Asus Z690-Plus D4 MB, Gainward 4090 RTX Graphics, 850W Corsair PSU, Kraken AIO watercooler, Nvme 1TB ssd, 1TB ssd, 500GB ssd.
May 28May 28 Indeed. Currently it seems Vector came out of cover earlier than Fenix and started their marketing sooner in relation to the actual release. But the vibes are similar."Hey we are the new kids at the model aircraft airfield, look what we brought!" Edited May 28May 28 by Farlis

May 28May 28 It seems that development goes much faster than in the FSX/P3D days. Maybe the SDK is better, maybe they staff more people... In any case I won't complain and my feeling is that FS2024 is the best iteration in the FS series, as FSX was. I hope it will last long so that I get a good return on my investments (hardware + addon) 😃 TONY on FS2024Black Square Bonanza & Baron • A2A Comanche • Flyboy Rans S6S • CAS Piper J-3 CubPMDG 777-200ER and 777-300ER, 737-800 BBJ2 • Fenix A320 • iniBuilds A350FSUIPC • Active Sky FS • Chase Plane • Flow • FS2Crew • FSTramp • GSXAlienware R16 i7-14700KF 5.60 GHz l 32 GB DDR5 l RTX 4070 Ti Super l 32" 4K OLED G-SYNC 240 Hz

Like if Vector decided to do this project on P3D or XP, they would probably lose a lot of money. Vector is calculating that the market for MSFS is big enough, that they can earn a nice profit in the end, despite the fact that they have to pay for the salaries of their larger team.
