It may be old news to you guys, but this is a pretty immersive sim. I'm having a "blast" with it:)

I just downloaded the sim yesterday and I must say im impressed. There are so many switches in the cockpit that it makes Falcon 4.0 Allied Force seem like a toy. Ive gotten to the point in STS-1 where im getting ready for the deorbit manuever and im scared! I have no idea how the shuttle is going to handle once it gets down into the atmosphere.

But that makes it so damn fun.

Very cool. I can't get it right now, but it's the next sim on my list. Keep us informed and post some screens if you can!!

And, Thank You for going to the combat zone for us. Yours, and all service men and womens' sacrifices for us are greatly appreciated.

Well, the real thing flies on autopilot until it's subsonic.

Not buying it, got banned by the admins after I had enough of them locking a thread where I made valid questions about the product.

For example, they're planning to in less than a year release a "SSM 2009", so I asked, why exactly should I pay 50 USD(More than most computer games over here costs), when in less than a year, my product will be, as you said yourself, outdated?

I got a very sarcasm filled reply.

Then I asked in another thread after mine was locked, if SSM2k7 purchasers will be offered any like, 'lower price' for SSM2k9, yet again, a sarcasm-filled reply.

I don't want to give money to a company that acts this way, it feels highly unprofessional.

I'll probably acquire the sim by 'other means'.

With all due respect to you, Gargantou, I'd expect they have their reasons. When we buy any product, we pay for what we receive. If the developers of this title choose to release an updated or wholly new product in the future, it is their right to sell or market it however they choose. We do not have to like it, but we do not have to buy it either. That is our right as consumers.

That last statement is a little troubling to me. If we expect software developers (or vendors of any kind of product) to respect us and treat us honorably as customers, than shouldn't we as customers hold ourselves to the same standard? Even if that may mean that we don't play the shiny new sim...

I think his point is the sarcasm was unwarranted. They didn't just say "sorry, you can wait if you want" or whatever.
