What have they been doing the last couple years? Wondering why RF, Aerofly and Phoenix are selling and FS-One isn't.
I cannot confirm any of the following, but it is just what is plausible. If you look at what has happened, what Selig has recently said and what he
has not said it's very suggestive that there was some kind of lack of agreement between Horizon and IntertiaSoft over the direction and purpose of fsone.
And when you look at what has been announced and done before and what is
now being announced, you are not seeing the actions of one entity then and now. ''Back then'' was HH and IntertiaSoft and ''now'' is InertiaSoft independently.
What is rather implausible is that someone like Selig 1) created something as technically sophisticated as fsone and 2) then suddenly decided ''I'm just going to be lazy and mess with everybody''.
What I am saying does not require a huge leap of optimism.
I have to agree with dbcisco on this one. If Inertia Soft is planning to release a new version of FSOne why all of the secrecy? It doesn't make sense to not tell your customers what they can plan on. It just seems to me that by actually announcing their intentions "publicly" then those people who are in the market to buy a sim might hold off to buy the "new" FSOne. Spreading and promoting "rumors" is disingenuous to everyone and only promotes questionable business practices.
My major complaint with RealFlight is that they don't tell their customers what they're doing and hide their new releases for the Christmas buying season. Just be honest and tell everyone that a new release is coming in Oct. Of course they've been doing it long enough now that no one is surprised when a new version comes out anymore. I'm pretty sure that there was a slump in sales back in Aug, Sept and Oct for RealFlight G4.5 because most everyone knew that a new version was expected for Christmas.
