Warbirdsim Mustangs For FSX!

Status
Not open for further replies.
The site I had hoped, was pretty straight forward in that the announcement tells about the new release for FSX finishing with a banner for FSX.

Underneath this is the text for FS2004 product clearly stated.

No there are no plans for the smaller packages.

Our activation glitch has been sorted out now thanks.

Apologies to our customers who have any issues.
It is a new system that we have not used before and is working fine now.

I find it demotivating to keep reading that this or that product is too expensive. Who should I care what anyone thinks of the price? It is completely useless information for me. If you don’t like a product for whatever reason, don’t buy it, I don’t care. When there is a thread about a new product I want to learn about that product, not have to wade through all kinds of complaints about price, which does not help me one little bit in my decision to buy or not to buy and that I’ve seen a thousand times before. Can we not start a special ‘price’ thread for those who want to complain about it? Then we can reserve product announcement threads for useful information. I resist the temptation to elaborate on why I think that we should be glad that we can fly our favourite planes in a simulator at all, and why it is doubtful that prices are too high from a developer’s point of view, for I did that on SOH forums before so that’s also useless information.
 
Stickshaker, with my job money is an issue and if I want something really bad because I have a particular fond feeling for certain product then it's a real disappointment if I can't get it. Kind of like the young lad staring at the big Ferrari model in the toystore that is priced way over his 5 cents candy money. :icon_lol:

Not complaining, just hoping and wishing for a lower price. I mean at 30 bucks I would have already been flying this thing.

Also this is a much easier way for the developer to keep track about the feelings about his product. That's kind of the point about dedicated threads for one product. Unfortunately sometimes it won't be all praise but at least we're all staying on topic.

Unfortunately, internet discussion forms are 90% people expressing their opinions.

Unfortunately, so far the cost has been a barrier to anybody offering firsthand impressions.
 
Stickshaker, You say that you want to read reviews of it, but that is the problem! Nobody has bought it because of the outrageous price. We are simply asking this developer to rethink his price so that we can buy these excellent models.
 
Mithrin,

I entirely sympathise with your predicament and I can understand your disappointment. But that is a personal feeling, no doubt shared by many, sometimes also by me, but still no reason to complain about the price. It’s a fact of life. Everybody is entitled to share such a feeling on a forum but what’s the point? The developer will see from his sales and the comments about the product whether the price or other product attributes are a reason for slow sales. I suppose h can even start a poll (although I don’t know whether that is allowed for commercial products) And if anyone wants to say something about the price, then don’t complain or elaborate about your personal financial or job situation which no-one can do anything about, but explain, for example, how much you would in fact be prepared to pay, or which features of the product you would want to forego if that would bring the price down. That is information that the developer might find useful.<o:p></o:p>
But if you are just as big a fan of the Mustang as I am, I hope for you that the price will come down in the coming months.

That is what forums are for... sharing opinions and ideas in a hopefully civilized manner.

It does seem that no one is sharing any other opinions because no one has bought it because of the price.
 
I took the plunge...to use the phrase from earlier. I too am waiting for the new activation due to the earlier problem.
Therefore, I can not say how or what at the moment. I am hoping the wait is short.
I will then say.
As for my opinion regarding price, that will change nothing cause most folks see things thru different lenses. I am really hoping that I can be justified for the money spent. I'll let ya know fellas.
 
I'll buy it and fly it as soon as I have the time, and let you know what I think about it. It may take a fwe days but hang on. How about suspending the discussion about the price until I or very hopefully others have something to say about the planes? And of course I will never be able to decide for anyone whether the planes are worth the price for them...
 
All I can do is give you all my findings as I see them. Stickshaker's gotta good point. I ain't even gonna attempt to push either direction.
Just wanna help...if that's possible.
 
Who is Stickshaker to tell any of us what we should or should not discuss on here and how we should or shouldnt go about it. To much of that has been going on here. People start expressing opinion and all of a sudden those people are in the wrong for it? This is how change comes about, Warbirdsim will see there is a demand for their product but at a more across the board price. If this was A2A or Aerosoft or any other Dev I think the same things would be said. And if there wasnt complaint what would stop the other companies from raiseing prices across the board?
 
It might even have been a reasonable price for die hard Mustang fans if there weren't already P-51 models out there, either. The A2A P-51D is more than enough for casual simmers such as myself, and for those who are a bit more serious about it, we'll have the Accusim version at some point in the near future. It's like having the IRIS Vulcan B.2, then being asked to pay over twice as much by someone else, so you can have a B.1 variant to go with it. It just simply wouldn't be worth it to most people.

This page (http://www.warbirdsim.com/Content.do?state=ThreeColumn&content=specs) mentions 4 packages, but I can not find FS9/FS2004 anywhere on this page, so I assumed it was to be for FSX.

Too bad...

and a paintkit?
 
I took it out for a spin.
I am not a reviewer, nor a real P-51 pilot. I will say that the inside and out look pretty good. Sounds are fine.
There is not as much fidelity as I was hoping for..such as A2A w/Accusim. I am not saying I was expecting same across the board on that..just hoping for similar.
Flight dynamics seem to be ok.
All in all...I like A2a's bird better.
If you guys have any specific questions, I will do my best to answer.
 
The best feature in the FS9 model is the castoring tailwheel (push the stick forward to unlock) and I had almost as much fun with it on the ground as in the air. I wish all taildraggers were half as good.

I will never know if this replicated well in FSX, but, as having already paid out a small fortune for the old model, I will just fire up FS9 from time to time. That is a better use of my meagre cash income! But not great for the developers cashflow.
 
Just another question.

Why is the manual a separate purchase? Is it in booklet form? :kilroy:

Lawdawg do you get any manual with the package?

Ben
 
The manual comes with..PDF form.
Hey Mud marine, I never fooled with takin snapshots. Never tried before. I always fly..that's been it before.
If ya could lemme know..I prolly could.
