Hehe, Perfect Flight.
I'll let some reviews of them speak my thoughts about those people
"For 1 Euro or 24 Euro, there has to be quality. Here?! there is not! This addon is bordering on Fraud. As far as minimum expectations. Bad audio, bad and incomplete panels. some of them have corrupt images. I wrote to the publishers for assistance and they quickly stopped responding. No wonder! What they are doing is simple! , they are keeping this 'goodlooking' ad here in simmarket waiting for suckers to buy this shameful product"
And hey, look at their high quality panels, really sets them apart

Here are some more reviews you can all read.

I just have to ask who actually buys their aircrafts because you can easily find better freeware ???

Actually, I re-read my post and decided to delete it. Flyboy quoted what I said as I think the way Mayer posted it and the new saying in his avatar is a bit "extreme".
Besides, I am a Mod and need to remain neutral!
I agree with the perfect flight models, they do leave allot to be desired
I still do enjoy flying their Lear 65 every once in a while though.... 8)

I agree with fly2e in that I too think moderators should always stay neutral towards forum users, but I also think they should be well entitled to express opinions about things that are the main subject of the forum (in this case, payware packages). Negative (or extremely negative) opinions included. It would be utterly boring to be a moderator otherwise.

I disagree! I think mods are just as entitled to say things and frankly there is freeware out there a better than Perfect Flight stuff IMHO.
I'd say fly anything by Rick Piper, Warwick Carter, Milton Shupe and co. they're just mindblowingly good! And FREE
Alas some people don't give of their time freely and expect to be paid for everything no matter how bad
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Im with Ozzy on this, a Mod is no different than anyone else, just forum police to keep the calm when needed, they aren't sponsored by any companies (well Dave??? maybe lol)
That and most forum users respect a Mods input so I would expect a honest post from them not a misleading one
I also hate pollitical correctness in any form, and for them not to have the same freedom to express thier opinion is wrong.
If you feel you must remain neutral or unbiased, then you obviously aren't thinking freely for yourself

It is unfortunately Caveat Emptor, whenever you purchase over the black hole of the internet. Research the seller as much as possible to see if you have any recourse if you are not satisfied with the product, I think one of the best options is getting a free demo version (if possible) and then if you are happy go ahead and make your purchase.

That is why I always say to visit the payware screenies forum, you'll see pics and often comments that'll tell you all you need to know

...it's a funny old do...
..but in all the many years I have spent Flight Simmming I have never felt the urge to "purchase" an aeroplane model...
..being the type of pilot who looks out of his windscreen MOST/ALL of the time whilst flying, as you should do, I have found the excellent Free Downloads perfectly satisfactory for all of my flights...
...!
The only things that I actually
purchase
are specialised navigation aids, scenery design programs, etc...
I think that all the Lads/Lasses who spend days/months designing aircraft for us...for FREE...are worth congratulating and supporting for all of their efforts...
...!
Cheers...!

I tend to agree, Paul. All of my payware is mesh and textures. Since I have the simpit, the "aircraft" is pretty "fixed".
And yes the freeware developers (of all types) are saints.

I have got stock in a payware company - but that doesn't make me a bad person does it? ???
(oh and how many have made donations to Rick Piper for his valiant efforts)
