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.

. . . .and along with that, do those feature reflect the type of flying you do? There are still folks who fly with 2D panels, and those who still fly from the exterior view. Are you a systems nut or a weekend GA flyer? If you purchased this airplane (and we've all done this), how often will it realistically leave the hangar? I'd love to have the airplane, but I would never use it for an eighth of what it's capable of. . .I care very little about how authentically systems are modeled and based on the type of flying I normally do. . . .it would probably get flown a few times and put away. . .so for the price and what my preferences are, it wouldn't make sense to purchase, no matter how much I'd like to have it.Some add ons are very expensive, but you must weigh the price against what you get with the product. We have gone from crude 2D cockpits to nice 2D cockpits to crude 3D cockpits to very realistic, every thing works and is clickable 3D cockpits and even realistic systems modeling. All of this consumes a great deal of time and I do not begrudge a developer that releases a great product and charges an appropriate price. You must look at the features and the quality of the product when deciding if it is worth the price.
