From the press release, the tool has even been tested by real pilots.
Aleksi Linden :
"' ../.. Currently the AuraSim Instruments is under closed beta testing. We will, though, later on widen the test for everyone to participate. Later on we will be adding more aircraft types, such as Boeing 777.../. "

Airdailyx :
It is indeed too soon to judge the interest of the Aurasim Instruments but it might become a useful tool, especially if it is integrating new aircrafts addons. Ultimately, it could even replace your old Topcat...

Now that is exciting news!
Since Topcat's been abandoned there's definitely a niche to be filled in the marketplace. Keeping fingers crossed the aircraft list they cover is exhaustive.
Looks very promising!
Topcat hasn't been abandoned, just not worked on whilst their flight planning product is being developed.
Competition is always a good thing though particularly if the new kid on the block is more receptive to the type and number of aircraft supported.
Looking great! Waiting for it!
PFPX is coming the next month and the mix with topcat will kill any sort of competition.
The lacks of aircraft profile is because the developer have concentrate effort on this integration and left topcat on a freeze situation.
But things will change very rapidly due to this new release.
We are not planning to competite with our product against Topcat in any way. We want to bring the customers an alternative option, which can be used in your PC/Mac browser or your mobile devices, such as iPad. We are also looking to make co-operation with the add-on developers so that their users will experience their products at their best.
We have the greatest respect towards to Topcat developers.
Regards,
Aleksi Lindén

And that's the proper/right thing to say from a public relations point of view. Don't want to alienate anyone--makes sense.
I can also tell you that loyalty to a brand is very important--and only comes after having paid due attention to the creation and care of said brand.
The Topcat brand is damaged now exactly because of that 'freeze' situation. And there's your opportunity. A good product, in combination with good customer relations puts you on top of the pile.
Personally I'm interested, and wish you the best of luck.
And curiously... Flightsimsoft (Topcap, PFPX) has posted an update report 5 days ago...
