Read it for yourself:  http://area51sim.com/cancelled.html.

I never bought it, but I read horrible reviews.  They had over 4 months!  I can imagine that this is a horrible let down to those who bought it.  They also canceled their C-17.
 

Asus G71GX-RX05 from BestBuy.     2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 (Very easily overclocked by 15%, 25% for xtreme live-or-die sessions),   
6GB of 800MHz DDR2 RAM       1GB GDDR3 Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M     500GB 5400 RPM SATA-150 HDD, w/ 2nd drive bay.  All for only $1300!

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

...

Help stop this scum from infiltrating the games we know and love!

That article has drastically changed since the last time I read it. The first version had a horrible attitude towards us, the Flight Sim community, because of a few emails wrote to them by a couple of in-grates.  Angry

Glad they pulled their heads in and cleaned it up.

You mean it was worse at one time?!  Shocked

I found the original article to be a rather vile attack on it's customers.

Please see my last post in this thread

I think you are seeing a different article to me then. I did see the one you are explaining, that was the horrible version. But the version I'm seeing now:

Ah, so that solves that great mystery. Grin

But I agree that first article was just disgusting, I wonder what made them change. Roll Eyes

I read the first one too, and yes it was quite disturbing.
That's what happens when you write in anger. I don't think he was thinking, he was just feeling at that point. I'm glad they changed it, and are back at work, especially since I own this aircraft  Grin Definitely not my favorite, just found a good deal.

OK, so after staring at screen shots of this plane for hours,
I decided, 'what the heck', the price is right, and it can't be that bad....


and you know what?


I LOVE this plane!!!!!!

What on earth, could those people who sent bad emails possibly have had to cry about?!  Huh Undecided

So it doesn't model every system,
so you can't click every button & switch,
they are there, and they look killer!!!


It may not be as technically superior as PMDG's planes, but you know what....it didn't set me back $50-$70 either.  Cool

It has wing flex, self shadowing, an outstanding VC,
a great sound set (although I prefer an even better freeware one that I've always used for C-5 addons),
and all the correct animations(a few of which surprised me).


The patch...I say, what patch!  I'm happy with it as it is.  Smiley
What is there to need patching?!  Huh

This plane is worth every dime I spent on it.  Smiley


...


...

Expect some better shots, and some VC shots in the payware section soon.  Wink
