You're also insinuating the Viggen will be a big seller for many years to come. What is this based on and hence why I asked what research you have done to come to this conclusion.


Must not be worth Developing aircraft for ED then? Especially how you guys think and talk about how ED wont make it.
Crap sales for the M2000?
How about the Harrier when out?

Why not just stick to FSX if ED's going backwards?
Could be more money for them developing at the DCS level and have their aircraft in the ED shop for a long long time.
I'm very sure RAZBAM would rather have their aircraft in DCS so they can take them to this new level in the sim their aircraft deserve.

Then why would RAZBAM turnaround and add a new team then?

"Gents
Allow me to introduce you a new developer team at RAZBAM, these guys have 2 projects going on already , NOW no matter what you see here, these are in very EARLY stages, a LOT needs to be done and don´t expect absolutely anything until at least, final days of 2017 (yup, a year from now) for some solid news on these.
Both projects have zero (0) impact on current schedule so Harrier fans (and both Mirages as well) should not worry at all."


How many licenses/sales over the next say 5 years will be sold of just the Mirage 2000?
Not even counting sales already made.
How about 10 years and how many more aircraft will they have in ED's store by then on sale?
All the 3rd parties and ED are very passionate about flight simulation and want this to workout for all involved.

I don't care about the actual spot on figures here Paradaz, as long as sales are good and things are moving forward for all involved at DCS, and to me things are looking up.


So your claims about Leatherneck's revenue are completely unfounded - pure guesswork! Your reply above doesn't even mention them.......you've switched fire to Razbam now with a similar post regarding their sales figures of which you have equally no information on whatsoever.

There's having an opinion and there's discussing why you have that particular opinion but you're not providing any resemblance of reason or logic for anything you have posted. There doesn't seem to be any basis at all. Is it really just pessimism or blind hope? That's rhetorical by the way, I'm not interested in a hyperlink to Falcon 4 or something equally off-topic or a link to one of your previous posts in this very thread.

I would like to think all devs/projects take various risks into account however, I'd imagine it becomes very difficult when ED change direction, move the goalposts, break the supporting engine and incorporate multiple dev branches which multiply the required effort when it was never declared to be part of the intended schedule in the initial planning when the risks are first identified. I guess they'll have bigger risk buckets next time around and take into account the inefficient way ED go about their planning, bug-fixing and integration activities.
