There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

please let me be clear, my earlier comment is in no way meant to imply that the A-7 is not absolutely fantastic
. I am ex military, worked as a sim tech for 24 years on military and commercial types (still do) and the realism both those products have is a real treat. You have to FLY them. Both remind me of the stuff I work on every day. They are not just jump in, max throttle and go.
The fact that the flight model for the A-10 has your name on it makes the purchase a no-brainer for me after the A-7. My comment was meant to put a little perspective on what you get for the price.
I'm trying not to wear the carpet out while waiting here...

Well I'm uploading it to the server as I type.. connection speed isn't as quick as I'd like, so it's saying another hour and 40 mins to go... it's 280Mb in total, and it includes the SD paintkit and three bonus installers for choosing which type of textures you'd like to see depending on your system performance. 
Once it's up it's just a matter of updating the store and website and we're good to go.

Oh I agree - the Catalina is one of the planes I paid the extra dime for....I had to have it because of its amazing model detail - I knew it would bog down my ancient comp. but I figure I'll eventually 'grow' into it. But it did lead me to stick to my price limit more diligently.
And just for clarity - I know that the cost of a model has less to do with its quality, but as a general rule, it seems to apply that higher cost is a developers way of offsetting the effort of implementing higher detail and therefore more time spent on the model in development...I just wish they would pay more attention to draw calls than some of the micro details they implement.
Payware is acceptable - but the amount to be paid for it is an individual choice and opinions should be as freely accepted or rejected, as they are given...I don't think most people mean to do injustice to developers when they discuss these things- it is what it is

::chuckles:: no worries.. It was 2AM ( i think ) and i was babbling.. I'm not one to judge people.. They're actions? yes, but not the people themselves. I keep this real big mirror between myself and my judgements, and it keeps me pretty sober... Besides, i'm one of those types that the later it gets into the night, the more philosophical i become.. And last night was one of those sillysophical nights..

The A-10 is very easy on performance, in my humble opinion.
Dave has put the draw calls and material stress as an important goal during development, and besides that- there is a lower resolution texture set you can install optionally should you wish to squeeze a few more FPS out of her!
LMAO
Today I'm not too interested in the A-10 as I have work soon and have to be there till 11.
Maybe tuesday if I get some free time I'll pick her up. Yesterday was my only chance for flying her this weekend.
Anti-climactic I know, but work is work....

40 minutes...
My store had a fit at me and refused to play nice, so it's now in the hands of Adrian at Flightsimstore.com who will no doubt announce it when it's available.
I'm continuing work on making it available direct from IRIS, but in the meantime keep an eye on Flightsimstore and if I see it before you, I'll post a release thread..
