A market in danger
I am not proud of me. I don't have much news today. Nothing relevant. But it's not only my fault. PMDG NGX is delayed, once again. FSDreamteam KLAX has not been released in Spring. Aerosoft is active but is limiting his projects to some redoing. We don't have any news from Elite-Air, Overland, John Gabbert*, SunSkyJet* (KPHL X), Southwest design, A.M.S., Sky High Sim. CLS and Captain Sim are low on projects, Flight Sim Labs is still dogmatically ignoring his fans, and i spare you the worse.
* 4 months ago, i wrote that i will not cover any more J. Gabbert CYVR and SunSkyJet KPHL X. Well, i don't have any regret but all of this is sad.
Another eye-candy for our patience...
FSX. Robert Randazzo himself has post today a new status on the B737 NGX. In short terms, PMDG team is kicking the final test another and last week and is deciding of the release date, price and package...

Bad answer, Captain !
The triple seven exterior model is great, the aircraft has been awaited for a long time. So, yes, thanks Captain Sim. But, simmers are just paying a deposit for a non-finished product. In this reply, on C.S. forum today, a staff replies that, somehow we are lucky to buy an exterior model for free. I don't know if this answer is a clumsiness or a disgrace... You to judge !
