Right?! I’m mean…. It’s 2024… AI is all the world seems to talk about, and no one wants to try to be the big box store of the AI world? Doesn’t make sense why they all have to be separate…. But such is the world at the moment.

SayIntentions will. We announced the coming price drop a couple weeks ago… We’re just giving the new models about a month to see what they at actually cost so we can drop the price accordingly…. Our costs are going down with newer more efficient AI models, and we pass those price drops on to the subscribers.

Not *yet*... Just like with Xplane, if there is enough call to make it worth the time to support it, we will find a way. And ALL supported sims will always be covered under the same subscription. In our original beta test with several hundred users, we only had 3 who used Xplane, and 2 of them were me and Brian. But since wird has gotten out, theres been enough people asking and with the help of Laminar, we are able to bring it back. If someone starts a P3D push, the same thing can happen. Thats exactly it. The fact that that everything is processed in the cloud is how we both, make sure to have Zero effect of frame rate or processing speed of your system, and are able to make it as fluid and close to human as a computer has ever been in the flight sim world.

If we could have done it without a subscription, we would have. Unfortunately, the required backend services are also subscription based, and the price it almost "at cost" without extra for development time, profit, etc. Pretty much all the 1000s of man hours put into this project are essentially volunteer. And that's not changing any time soon... Even with the announcement of the ChatGPT price drop, we announced we will be dropping our price as soon as we figure out what the new model actually costs.
