I didn't say that it was not a free development or not. And I'm not talking it's legality either, or whether the company ran out of business or not.
The F4 which was released December 1998 is the most successful combat flight sim ever been released, regardless of the other factors. These people wrote a code that no one could do 12 years ago, they put huge effort and they succeeded.
The avionics in F4 were the best 12 years ago. F4AF is another successful version of it and it's a legitimate copy.
I'm looking forward for ED products, and I think they are doing pretty good job on these sims, I'm quite happy to see someone taking the initiative to quench the flight sim community.
So from my understanding, a good DC takes too much time that it won't be commercially feasible?!
If that's the case, then we can understand that, and you could have made this clear from the beginning.
Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
