rjm1982....how does volume not dictate price in software? If it takes 100 hours to program something and you charge 10 dollars per program to 100 end users, you make 10 dollars an hour assuming no overhead etc. If you sell 200 copies at the same 10 dollars, you make 20 per hour. The guys who have a larger market can charge less for their software and make the same amount of money...

I personally would have paid 2 or 3 times as much for my simulators as they have saved thousands in crashes over the years...not to mention time saved from not having to build as many planes....luckily the competition in the sim market keeps the prices pretty reasonable.
