Due to the increasing competition in the RC flight sim industry those who do not keep up with consumer expectations and aggressive marketing will suffer. Phoenix has been around since 2006, hardly a new application. If they release a new version of Phoenix it should be keeping up with current trends in sims like hi-res graphics, realistic physics, extreme number of aircraft, user creatable models and multiplayer features. Any sim over $150 that doesn't keep up will probably fade away. The lower priced sims already seem to have captured a niche market (RC heli users for clearview) and have their business model set for operating at that sell point and production volume.
