Default RE: New G3.5 Upgrade

I have a feeling that Knife Edge is going to be looking for new management before long. This release was a major business FUBR that will hurt.

They’ve released an upgrade that according to them had only been tested by “professional pilots” (and probably only using a few ‘professional’ type planes). The upgrade has obvious physics flaws as well as subtle other problems, like not being able to go back to a previous version once you’ve upgraded.

AND, they released it just before a lot of us will be entering our winter non-flying time! Which means that more then the usual customer, shopping for a realistic RC flight simulator to use during the “off” season. Will be looking closely at “RealFlight’s” competitors. Plus, I think that a large number of current G3.0 users will not be upgrading to G3.5 ... or those who can afford it, will “upgrade” to another flight sim.

In any other business scenario, that I’m aware of, where something like this has happened, it wasn’t long before management was pounding the pavement looking for a new job.
