What Dovetail failed to understand was that the 3PD ecosystem is fragile and requires a lot of give-and-take from the sim dev. In particular, Robert Randazzo from PMDG led a "revolt" against the new scheme, and he and several others pulled out from Dovetail commitments. However, the Dovetail pricing scheme (racket) meant that few devs could afford to do business with them, their margins would be shot to hell. whatever happened to that?ĭovetail in particular seemed to have a technological advantage, and they were developing their sim quickly enough that the FSX third-party devs (3PD) were committing to it. There was Prepar3D, which was a semi-logical step up from FSX for gamers (but which has that Big Lie you have to tell to get at the product), there was X-Plane, and then Dovetail and Abacus competing against each other. Recall in the very early days how FSX-SE was slowly disintegrating and there were developers trying to anticipate where the next major flight sim would come from. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything.įrom what I know of Captain Sim, they were more interested in backing Prepar3D than MSFS.
I also think CS have described the product accurately and have misled no one. I like flying in external view checking out scenery and do not care about cockpits or soap dispensers in virtual aircraft bathrooms. Is there another C130 available for MSFS? I do not know, but if I loved that plane and this was the only choice then I might buy it. Anyway I hope we do not get 7 pages of hate here as well and this is what I said over there at the end of page 4. I cannot comment on what the external quality and textures are like as I am not up for a C-130 but I guess the dev must have put some effort into it. There is no cockpit and it says so, so it is not a dishonestly presented item and certainly advertised as external view only. Not one nice thing to say about the aircraft, just incredible rants regarding no cockpit and being sold like that. 7 pages of absolute vitriolic hate on AVsim before the moderator closed the thread.
