So many of you like working for pittance? ...



... many of you who have created 3D gaming engines and are qualified to make such statements ... right?

It doesn't matter whether you are buying the product or not - when there's a lot of objects and a large FoV as well as a large view distance, performance will suffer. You don't get to optimize yourself out of that.

Trust me I know how hard develop code is, in fact you would be surprised that someone behind this keyboard has a knowledge of what it takes to create something from nothing with a few guys. But don't even tell me this is worth 30 euros because if you keep telling me this and keep offending my logic and intelligence then I am not gonna buy this ever.

Create software is hard, improve it can be a headache, debug it double headache, but don't sell my the idea that 30 bucks is the fair price because that's not true.


By the way


Really!?. Thats a good way to improve sales!

> What was originally planned as a two month development cycle has turned into a nine month development cycle.

Hope that doesn't mean the A-10 is behind by 7 months.

That's funny 'cuz I've been ready to spend $30 since the original announcement. I honestly didn't know, or just forgot that the estimated price was gonna be less than $30...

The Air Combat Sim industry is a lot less profitable than other gaming areas, therefore I'm very glad that Eagle Dynamics is investing resources and developing quality Air Combat Simulators. 30 bucks is completely fair and I hope that Eagle Dynamics get the revenues that they expect; and hopefully they will keep developing interesting and good quality sims in the future.

As for the developing time of FC 2.0, good sims take more time. I prefer to wait for a good polished product rather than having a buggy and missfunctional simulator right away.

I will be there on day 1, Eagle Dynamics has kept to their ideals and stuck with flight simulation instead of taking the easy path and making games for the Nintendo DS. That alone ensures I will support this product. These are some great things being ADDED in 2.0.

+1. And it'll be the same thing for me when DCS: A-10 comes out.

I already have 3 copies of FC, whats another $29.99. Bring it!

So long as the 7 extra months in development do not mean 7 more months until it is released...
I'd buy it next week for $30 in a heartbeat (at $1.5 to the pound), in November maybe not.
Cheers,
