My credit card number is already typed in. Just got to click send once the release date is known 8)
For my money, proper emergencies, failures linked to hours and maintenance is the one thing that the FS series has always missed. OK we can "arrange" a failure, but that is not the point. You are ready and waiting for it. If as the information on the homepage says, you will have to scan instruments to catch early warning signs, then that will add to the experience. No more transatlantic flights, autopilot on and then sit back with a coffee and watch re-runs of Maimi Vice, looking over to see all is still ok while Crocket and Tubbs take 5 out from shooting everyone.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I am a little unsure about this one.  Looked at the FAQ's and found that you will heqr them but you still can't see anything.  Its a bit like Jam nad no Cream.

Will have to see.

This project is exactly what I wanted to get: an "objective" evaluation of my flight.
I am not after big challenge with failures and tremendous meteo or earthquake on the runway I am landing.

I just want to check if i simply did it well in a normal flight and how would have passengers live the flight.

Off course, like everybody, I am disapointed each time the release date is delayed but after all what is the more important the software features and quality or the release date ?

I have big hope on the result, I like the way they work  close to the end user wishes and ideas rather than marketing and business. they test thorughly there work, then, obviously, find some touble needing time and work to fix.

Then I wish them all success because it means that:
1) I will enjoy playing with this add-on
2) I am convinced they deserve this success.

By this I take the delays like this:
for each  delay more = 1 bug less

Wow, that looks pretty wild.

Do you think it will work with small GA Aircraft?

Sorry but $38.50 is to steep for me for this type of add-on.
I'll be passing on this one.
Was looking forward to it too.

Pegase I dont think you are upsetting him, I think he is upset by the delay of FS Passengers. More than likely if I am reading correctly he just used part of your post to reiterate that he is upset that they keep pushing it back and pushing it back
