For those without a Facebook account this is what was posted.
To our followers,
The 450 was meant to be a courtesy to those who would rather have systems they can learn now in preparation to the release of the 550.
It is not a beta model, a pay as you go as the king 350 is model, an unstable 7x model, it was a courtesy request from a fan that convinced me to release it to the public. The in depth 550 has a time-frame of 1.5 to 2 years of further development. We never planned on offering the legacy 450 model with VC as it was a spare the moment decision.
It offered the opportunity to fly a 450 (0 exists otherwise) with ample system modeling and performance.
This forum post explains why certain Flight Sim personalities never responded to any of our messages in regard to their thoughts on the 450. I can say that I tried to offer what many are afraid or hesitant too bother modeling.
To our current customers, support and updates will still be issued. We are closing up on cabin temp changes when certain doors are open, brake temps monitoring, FLCH mode, user caused failures, not to mention exterior night lighting and pilot reported bug fixes, fun stuff. Also possibly synthetic vision in the upcoming months (fingers crossed ! ).
With that being said the 450 will be removed for sale on our site on Monday 17th July 2017. My team foresaw this and for that I apologized to them for the distraction this caused to our main project.
Anyone interested thereafter can request via PM and if you meet the criteria required in our disclaimer we will provide the link upon private purchase.
Jim Brown will continue to post videos on the work done on the 450 for the current captains to have a visual on what to expect in the next build.
