The poll is fine, as you can see, people see the value in the latest and greatest sims. But I can't understand why you are complaining about the price. Have you even looked at Aerofly Pro? It has the same physics at the Deluxe just no photo flying fields etc. It's $99 and available now. You would be perfectly happy with this sim. Here is a link to the Ikarus site where it is available. OMP may still have it too.
