  1. I remember quite a while back an Idea regarding "Pilot Flying Airlines" for some reason the idea was shelved. It really seemed like a good idea. Same with the Aerosoft simulator. Now that we are seeing these declining numbers, is it possible Aerosoft will attempt in-house developments in the future? What is the current plan to adjust to the changing market and remain on top flight simulation wise?

    Now with Microsoft gone, is it really the best idea to hedge bets on X-Plane?

  2. We considered doing that too and implimented it for a short time as people steal from our site as well. The thing is, it doesn't stop people from taking information from a webpage. Insted of right-clicking, all a user has to do is click and drag the image onto their desktop. If it shows as a URL link then they can simply click on that and then right click anyway. As for text, everyone knows ctrl+c and ctrl+v will copy and paste text. And of cource, there is always the snipping tool...

    So disableing right-click is only successful by doing 1 thing. Annoying readers...

  3. And so you are saying the X-Plane base is firmly lager than the FS9 base? Because a X-Plane version was released and I highly doubt there are more X-Plane users out there than FS9 users. So how do you justify your statement? Or are you saying the X-Plane base is smaller but they are spending more money than FS9 people? Because this would be impossible as well given the quantity ratio of products released between the two platforms are highly unmatched.

    Let's just call a spade a spade. Most developers just don't want to develop products for FS9? Or is it that Aerosoft is in bed with Laminar?

    No pun to be disrespectful here as I highly respect you Mathijs, but something is amiss here and I believe others see that too. I accepted your statement for what it was but with the XPL release, this makes your words untrue so there has to be another reason an XPL version was released. Perhaps this time the developer himself can clarify...

    Ok fair enough. Question: At X-Plane's current rate of growth, how long have you estimated untill the XPL base reaches the FS9 base counting for the current rate of decline of the FS9 base?

  4. Guys it is very simple, if there is enough market for something we'll release it. And yes there are a great number of FS2004 users, unfortunately they are unwilling to spend much money these days on a platform that is so old. This is all very common.

    The decision if we make a product is based on past sales experiences, spreadsheets. Indeed the customers who bought FS2004 add-ons contributed greatly to what we are now, but that still does not allow us to start selling products at a loss.

  5. When the developer posted the first shots of fs developer ge said he was planning an fs9 version. Then months later he basically said no promises. Then he released the FSX version and we never heard again from him. As he is an outside developer it is his choice to make one or not. But i am hoping Mathijs will ask him.

  6. We finally think we got a workable protection system (we hate it but it simply is needed in some markets) and that changes a lot.

    That's great! Any protection system that will bring us more Italian airports is a great thing.

    BTW, I can now also confirm Fiume is in development for 2012... :big_boss_s:
