The beggining and the why!

I decided to create this blog since i feel that the freedom of speech in the Airsimmer Forum has ended and there are a lot of fanboys still over the main fs forums for me to post this there.

For several years i've followed this project.

This guy, called Nik, was the person that dealed with all the customer relationship back in those days.

He was pretty good at it. I believe those years were when Airsimmer had it's team complete and worked in a very good pace.

They had deliberately made all of us believe that a great product was beeing made without even knowing the hard difficulties and deadends they were going to encounter.

Lots of high expectations were created and a thing the always upseted me: the fact that they wanted to make all the stuff proprietary!

While other great addon projects relayed on external things like Navigraph, FS2Crew, Turbine Sound Studios or even Synchro-soft, these folks wanted to do everything themselves and that really explains why the project failed.

Since 2008 these guys say that the project is near it's end. LOL!

We are now in 2010, 2 years have passed and it's not even an alpha version of a normal quality product from other companies.

Back in 2009, and i quote, Nik said "We are very near the end of the line". This sentence had a very good purpose. To sell an uncomplete version to the newly created Extended Team. A great name for a failed experience since now they are second in-line while the Basic Version customers are the top priority (AHAHAHAH! Suckers!). I have several friends that bought the beta team ticket and they regret it every day. This was one of the more heavly failed experiences in the world of fsim addons and for me also an illegal scandal has an unfinished product was sold without any kind of warranties about timeframes. That was the main reason why i didnt buy that shit!

In October, 2009, Airsimmer decided to create a new product "BASIC EDITION" in order to make money ONCE MORE (and without having a finished thing to sell, what a joke!)

They said that they were facing economic difficulties (crap!) and that they were selling a product that was not what they intended to be. I really think they should have posted the bugs list at the time for everybody to see what they were really buying.

Once more these guys werent transparent and also made everyone believe that in buying it they were helping to finish the project since those "economic difficulties" could have put the project at stake.

Once more there was no commitment and everyone was blind enough to buy this version, ME INCLUDED (what a fuckin dumbass i was!).

Back then i was one of the folks that really supported the project and really believed in what they said as all the monthly updates seemed to show a good speed in development.

Then all started to go awfullly wrong...
