There is far too much irony in this thread.

Thank you everyone for the replies, and once again I hope I did not come across as confrontational. Kyle, you did pretty much answer my question perfectly - I think it is a shame that people are often unable to have a civil discussion about things like pricing. But I do also think that PMDG should welcome feedback and discussion about their policies and decisions. After all, happy customers that feel like their opinions are respected and listened to are more likely to support a company. I understand that you can't always meet peoples' wishes - especially with your obligations to Boeing and other real-world parties - but PMDG saying "yes, that is a good point and thank you for making it, but here's why we can't do that..." is much nicer to read than "we don't allow discussion of this policy".

From my point of view, there seems to be an issue on this forum in relation to people being able to have reasonable, civilised debates; or indeed being able to share their opinions at all. I have noticed the same thing on the PMDG Facebook page. Some posts apparently strike a nerve and are deleted. They are not replied to with an alternate view, not simply ignored, but they are actively and very quickly removed. I have one simple question. Why? What is it that makes PMDG so worried that they expend their resources on moderating almost every comment on every thread in this forum? For example, the thread about pricing policy in which debate about pricing policy was not allowed frankly became a farce. Ok, I agree that we should not tolerate personal attacks, vile comments and flame wars. But if there is a legitimate discussion going on, why is the first reaction always to shut it down rather than participate in it? Let's see what happens to this thread. PMDG, you have a chance to pretty much refute my entire post if you reply and answer my simple questions. If it is deleted, then I suppose those who notice can come to their own conclusions as to why. One final note - I am not trying to be hostile towards anyone. I just would like it explained why this is going on. John Dennis

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but the only threads I could find were from years ago. I'm just wondering if there is a decent A380 (either freeware or payware) for FSX? Thanks.
