If you want a no frills and thrills aircraft, then it may be alright. Be wise and stay away. I put the LVFR aircraft at the same level as Captain Sim. I will not waste my $$$.

If you watch this "promotional video" directly from youtube you will note that "comments are turned off". I would think that if i was a dev promoting an upcoming product i would be confident enough to have people talking about it. Making comments to see if there are aspects within the video the viewer liked or disliked and could work on and improve..

But no .. here we are ... "comments are disabled".

On the other hand this is V2 so i can assume this is a revised and improved product ?

Make of it what you will.

Cheers fellas... no go for me! Save some dosh!

For developers Youtube comments are a hassle, it just turns into a free for all. That's what the Devs usually have their own Discord or forum for.

I do own this, I'll should try the update when it comes out.

They do post on Facebook and respond to comments on there. So they're not ignoring feedback completely.

Me too. Never really had any issues with this model.

No one was asking the Dev to actively participate. Rather, observing feedback would be something i think they would have been interested in. Ive never heard or seen any of the major Devs in my years in this hobby state youtube comments are a hassle.... That's a new concept to me considering any dev worth their salt typically look for ways to promote product engagement when they have something new to show.

And yes its a free for all .. you put something out and people are typically "free" to express how they feel about it. Usually the better products pass that scratch test based on the observations made in the showcase, product improvements and dev reputation.

But regardless i'm sure others will enjoy it.

In reality we do have a facebook and we recently opened a discord. We also had a forum but we stopped using it in favor of discord.

As for this V2, this is completely new aircraft avionics systems and completely new. And what's best its free for all who bought V1, so if you did not like V1, you can still try V2 for free.

We are stepping forward in implementing many new features and changes to our line of products, we started with the A380 and now going to update all the rest with the first being the A330-900.

Doesn't appear so to me considering i don't use facebook to follow msfs devs and i don't have them on my discord (Both moderated platforms). Their product was posted here with a youtube link. with no way to read the feedback. Does not appear normal to me considering the many releases by other devs.

I am interested to see what the feedback of their product is on a generally unregulated platform. Not the moderated ones you just mentioned with opportunity to "curate or manage".

That is all.

The youtube video was made with no comments for some unknown reason when we submitted, the previous one had comments open. We will open comments on the video you mention right now.
