Icarus P38 as well?

Ok, that’s it. I’m officially volunteering to be “Payware FS Aircraft Development Coordination Czar” (PAFISADC). My official duties will include issuing directives to payware developers such as: “Ok, ABC is building a P-38J, so you guys at DEF have to make something else.” Followed by “ok, if you insist on making a P-38, make a model that isn’t done yet, like a P-38F.” The other part of my official duties will be to help sell these planes, since evidently the conclusion has been reached down in the deep smoke-filled basements of all payware companies that P-38Js will sell, but not P-38Fs, and only B-17Gs will sell, not B-17Es or (heaven forbid) a B-17C or D. So I will tell epic tales of B-17Cs Ds, and Es over the dark and forbidding skies of the Philippines in 1942, and of P-38Fs shooting down the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack (not Js), and of valiant and courageous pilots of RAAF Buffaloes over Singapore, Vindicators and Devastators at Midway, B-25Cs over New Guinea (not Js).

I welcome to competition, but it seems they are after a different market segment then we are. Also, they haven't released a screen shot yet, and we are well underway in the beta process.

In the end, competition is always good for the consumers. I look forward to winning ;)
 
I don't see a problem, really. This is like all the Nemeth Huey arguments. There was a gap in the market and they were quick enough to fill it. AeroSoft or Dodo Sim may or may not release a better product later on. But for now, if you want it, Nemeth is the only choice.

Same story here... First one to release this thing deserves every penny it can take.

Now if you'll excuse me please, I need to go and check AlphaSim's front page for more "coming soon" and "imminent release" news.
 
I dont think its always true that the first one wins. A lot of people will wait for what they feel is a superior product to be launched later. I see a few people in the P-51 and Connie threads saying that they will wait for X company to release it, based off of past products that were superior. Luckly, they wont need to wait for the superior product this time around, since it will be out first ;)
 
Is it really necessary that the Milviz guys are "hijacking" every P-38 thread in this forum to tell that their P-38 is by far the superior one...? :rolleyes:

I'm looking forward to the Icarus P-38!

Greetings

So, to sum up then before the mods hit the killswitch (please!) - Icarus are doing a P38 as well. I just thought you'd like to know, but I'm also kind of sorry I mentioned it.
 
I have to say, constant hijacking of threads about other developers' projects annoys me, as well.

Thanks for letting us know about this one, SW... I may not be Icarus's greatest fan, but have no objection at all to having a choice of aircraft with different design philosophies. Some may work better for what I want than others. I'll wait and see!

Cheers!:icon29:

Not necessary at all. But im still allowed my opinion on any thread, just like any user.
 
Not sure how our opinion of our own products has an effect on sales... That's all up to you as the clients (potential or otherwise).

I think that if anyone wants to make a P-38, more power to them.

I also think that Icarus, like SU, will make a very nice P-38. I don't think it's fair for us Dev's to make the comparison between our product and theirs, however, and Kevin has been reprimanded for doing so.

And just so you know, before anyone says that I have done so myself, it was not before the comparison was made by SU on "our" P-38 thread. Anyone who wishes to dispute this, please contact me via pm for a complete analysis of that thread.
