I must have spent a squillion on Aerosoft stuff during my sim life ....and don't regret a cent.

Looks like typical at Aerosoft. We also call the guys Errorsoft. As if nothing really worked on the plane, so many things to wipe up. Creepy.
The development team has already left the customers in the rain with the never finished Fokker 100. Well, it is an aircraft that doesn't really interest me, because I'm waiting for the Airbus A220 (Air Baltic used this) of another development team.

[hasegawa]

Have you never used the Fokker 100 from them?

You look at an update list like that 2 ways.
The first is that it's great that they are responsive in updating a buggy product.
The second is how did such a buggy product get to the market in the first place. How did so many things get past the Beta testers? It's my understanding the RW CRJ pilots tested it. If so how did they miss so much?

[Splitpin]

Similar thing years ago, when a developer had a 15-year-old beta testing an F-15. I recall Ian Warren doing his prunes about it.
CP, I think sometimes it's just a rush to get something out there....but as I said, I've been an Aerosoft fan for years, so I'll cut them some slack this time.
