You know...just scrolling through this thread...all you naysayers, to a man (I'm pretty sure):
NONE of you have contributed to this year's bandwidth drive!
What's the matter with you?
Do you have so little trust, that you think Ickie will take your money and run off with it???

What's THAT got to do with the current thread about the Captainsim B-52? I can't speak for the others that have posted to this thread, but as for myself, I AM going to contribute as soon as I get paid next week. I'm sorry if I'm not as wealthy as you apparently are and have had other living expenses the past 2 weeks to where I can't contribute at this moment as it would seem you wish...:isadizzy:

I agree with the other two posters, what does your statement have to do with the thread? :isadizzy:

Cue tenuous association between not yet making a donation to SOH and not being willing to pay for half a product...

Severely off topic, but there are plenty of naysayers that have donated. Easy way to tell? If they have a sig, they donated.
Just because they don't have charter member below their name doesn't mean they don't donate.

I'm not sure where that comment came from in this thread, but I presently don't have Charter Member under my name but have contributed to the drive, plus the medals I had for the previous contribution have also vanished. It doesn't bother me one iota if they are visible or not, but perhaps you should be a little careful with your accusations?
As to the Buff, I mentioned in the "last exterior only model thread" that I wouldn't purchase an aircraft in this form, but it's down to individual choice and I certainly wouldn't knock anybody else doing so.

Come on, guys! Do not want - do not buy! Those interested WILL buy, what problem is here??? Take it easy. And who at CS ever said you will be charged full price and then wait for complete model???
For me everything is clear. Those who need exterior model go and buy it for failr price, charge for the model ONLY. BTW Captain Sim do not promise the release of VC, like with their 727. They say: 'As for now the B-52 product is just an exterior with nothing else promised. As for the future VC/systems upgrades, we will see what the future will bring us.'
No faulse promises, everything is clear.
Could not have said it better!

This is really becoming a disturbing trend, releasing products only partially completed.
Regardless of the developers current status, tell me guys how often did you all experience this half baked approach to flight sim aircraft, say 2 to 3 years ago. Short answer is it hardly ever happened.
Even "some" not all well established developers are releasing nothing more than high end beta's for public release at the moment and expect their paying customers to do the bug fixing for them.
Enough is enough.
My thoughts on the matter.
Cheers.

I agree completely with that.
No, the product is not "partially completed". The product is being sold and advertised purely as an external model.
We don't know what bugs there are in yet, so paying for a beta may well be the case (as it is with many packages these days, I agree) but you are not being defrauded, you are not being deluded, you are not being lied to, misled, ripped off or anything else.
Each person makes an individual choice whether to buy an add-on or not. You. No-one else. No-one is forcing you to and you are entirely free to decide not to. If you do choose not to buy it, that is also your choice, but this product, the same as any other package that comprises only an exterior model, only a panel or only sound files is not "partially complete", it is complete as advertised.

Not once did i say i was being defrauded or deluded, lied to ripped off or anything along those lines.
If the shell or aircraft depending on which way you look at it, is all that's on offer than so be it.
Time and peoples custom will be the judge on whether this is a sound move on behalf of the developer.
I have a funny feeling it may not work out as they have wished.
Cheers mate.

Sorry. That post wasn't aimed directly at you - if you read back through the thread (even just up a few posts) you will find sentiments such as those expressed by other people numerous times. This is also far from the first thread that those people have vocally expressed their displeasure about not every release being what they personally want.
I'm not going to change peoples' views about what is and is not acceptable to them, nor would I want to if I could. My statement was primarily aimed at those who are basically trying to put forward their preference for a complete package (or what they personally perceive as being a complete package) as being what everyone should demand from every release. That simply is not the case and will never be so.
Personally, I have no interest at all in a B-52 whether it has an interior or not (love the real aircraft, would never use the add-on) but as I said, that's my choice and I'll choose not to buy this.
Sorry again if it came across as entirely pointed at you Carbine1. It was far more of a scattershot aimed at a wider number of people than that.
open mouth....insert foot.......
You sir, had better check your facts first before making inane statements like that.
