And this my friends is why 3rd party devs who have been around long enough (as in The_Fragger's case) to know that you do not "employ" let alone "pay" coders from other 3rd party developers working on other projects....

sounds like another Hawk\Tango\Chris (VEAO) situation

Dear Simmers,

We're closing christmas in a few weeks and I want to give you a little update for the the current Quarter.
Since I released the little Teaser for the BO-105, my coder decided to leave me since he is too busy with the Gazelle.
He actually was so passionated on coding the Bo-105...well

Heads up and never give up - I got some important update in the coming days/weeks regarding the BO-105 project.

"Passionated"?

The_Fragger's coder (ex Coretex member\s which we consumers previously know as the failed E\F 'etc Hornet) can probably focus more time to working on a Eurocopter EC135 (AKA Airbus 135 depending on what era you grew up in) as that bird is more like how their P.O.S Gazelle actually imitates an actual flight model,

Miltec and sloppychop as the 3rd party developers in the above mess, probably need to pull the pin at ED and look at x-plane or P3D as platforms for release. In the same way VEAO did when they couldn't figure out how to code s**t in the E.D.G.E platform.

A few months ago, they allowed a reviewer to showcase the current (as far as I know) build of the Bo-105. It looked quite nice, and as explained the FM was very basic.

However with the legal issues and split Polychop went through, causing a year to go by with zero updates on the Gazelle, its very difficult to remain excited for the Bo-105 being anywhere close to a release for another year.

Having any optimism in this hobby leads to disappointment. So expect nothing.

What many dont realize is that these 3rd party devs do not live and die by their ED modules. It's a part time gig that they work on AFTER their primary job or tasks. A low paid hobby if you will. So there really isnt a sense of urgency. Even the better freeware projects die off eventually from lack of interest by the dev. Burn out or shiny things...

My advice, find a module you truly enjoy and can utilize in it's current form without pi$$ing you off and fly the crap out of it. Use your imagination to make what is available, work for you. Create missions. If thats not possible, maybe its time to bail out.

Waiting on promises that dont come, only creates anger and makes you tired. The upper management doesnt care about you once the $$ is in their hands. They will produce results at their pace and timeline. And they've set themselves up with laws that protect them from any recourse. So....
