Why isn't there a category for best promotional videos? :mixedsmi:

 

[CodyValkyrie]

LOL. I can only wish mate.

No freeware?!? Guess it's all about payware these days. Not that I care, I just remember times past, when freeware dev's were profiled, given space on magazine CD's, given awards, mentioned in articles, etc. I'm talking about other dev's, not just myself.

 

[Kowalski65]

Yeah,the only freeeware mentioned in,e.g. PC Pilot, nowadays, is the downloads included on the discs! There should be a freeware equivalent of each catagory.
And why isnt the A2A B377 included in the nominees????

377 is too old:

The products below were nominated by The simFlight Network and include only commercial Flight Simulator Add-on products released between September 25th 2008 and August 28th 2009.

Fairly straightforward votes for me. Except that is for section 5:Aircraft, Military, Vintage, Space. Nearly everyone a classic and a tough call.

 

[Tweek]

I always find it difficult to vote in these. People obviously aren't going to vote for things they don't have, and upon reading the lists, I realise I don't have half of the addons listed!

I should imagine the VRS F/A-18E is an absolutely fantastic addon, with all the work that has gone into it, and I could see myself voting for it if I had it for FSX, but I don't, so I can't really make that my choice.

Oh well, the two votes I have made should hopefully be a worthy contribution!

Actually Tim,

I think some can still vote for freeware planes. These, I believe are choices by the public (if I am correct). Might be too late to nominate planes.


I agree, there were times when Freeware had even ground with payware. Payware has become a super science now and freeware has almost died off because of its sophistication.

"Bear's Corner" (or whatever it was called) on Avsim was a great read and portrayed some awesome freeware.

Ah, good old days...

Too bad Alderney wasn't mentioned

Too bad Alderney wasn't mentioned

I'm glad I was not the only person that noticed this. Shame. Still, some dang good contenders.

 

[jdhaenens]

Yup, bummer on the lack of freeware. Noticed the same thing last year and mentioned it in my most recent rant. My stuff's been in the cover CD of PC Pilot a couple of times though, so it's getting at least a little press.

I did vote for the Kodiak Quest, but was torn on the military aircraft. The only one of the group I have is the Catalina. I'm waiting on the FSX version of the Super Bug.

[Tim_Horton]

I voted for only 3 things, REX2, l-39 albatross (A MUST HAVE for training) and Lion Hearts Kodiak!@

 

[Cazzie]

Same here Tim, I merely voted on items I have, REX2, A2A P-47D, and Lionheart's Kodiak.

Abacus [SIZE=-1]Military Helicopters 2 [/SIZE]is on the same list as Dodo and Cera? Wilco A380 and PMDG?

How the hell did they come up with this short list? Random brain farts?

p.s. I am able to start voting again and again. Doesn't log and block my IP to avoid duplicate votes. Is this a lame joke?
