I have to say that if people are disputing whether the FO project is a scam, then something is terribly wrong with FO. It's kind of like electromagnetism: just because you don't explicitly know what's happening on the inside, you can still tell something about the inside based on what's happening on the outside. Whether it's a scam or not, the plausibility shows just how badly things are going. The problem is, back when they started FO would release info to their Area 51 members, then publicly release the same info 2-3 months later. So buying Area 51 just got you "early access". And at the time they were releasing pretty regularly (monthly, I think) developer diaries telling about what they were doing. But for the last 3-4 years or so, they have pretty much stopped releasing info to the general public. Every couple of months they'll mention that they've put some new info in Area 51, but they never seem to make it public anymore... so now the only way to get any real updates is to pay.

do you or anyone else have some updates for FO? if so, please share!!  No, you see that's the role of the FO people. You need to sign up for a payment plan at Area 51 and wait for your progress updates there. Good luck Patrocles! so FO wants flight sim fans to sign up and give them money for access to Area51? Yet, they stopped providing any info on FO to the flight sim fans in 2008/2009 to non-Area51 members. If this how you think FO should operate as a business model then I must say that it is you and FO that need the good luck!

Patrocles,
If you had read the entire thread before posting, you would have seen that I was being heavily sarcastic...

Patrocles,
If you had read the entire thread before posting, you would have seen that I was being heavily sarcastic... haha good one, you caught me out! no thanks, I revisit this thread infrequently and just jump to the end posts. I am too lazy to go back and read all the posts every time I come a lookin' for FO news. perhaps a winky smile in the future?

Vaporware, abandonware, whatever you want to call it, I've been 'following' FO for what seems like 7 years now, and I feel like those guys with the afro pick in the desert in Spaceballs.

yeah, the FO guys are right bastards for not coming straight with the public about their failure!

Would have never noticed that their progress was slowed down It's pretty bad when the people asking you for money warn you not to give it to them!
