(I posted a question about textures in the Cloud9 KLAX too: FSDT response was that I should have bought the more expensive FSDT version!
Facts are:
- There are TWO similar products being offers on sale. One was published in 2005, another one in 2011
- One is cheaper, the other is of better quality. You wouldn't guessed it, considering is BOTH more expensive and released 6 years after.
- BOTH are offered in TRIAL VERSION
- You are complaining that the older and cheaper version is not of the same quality of the 6 years more recent and expensive version, and are demanding an upgrade or sort ?
I'm trying to understand what's wrong with keeping the two versions available for sale, with different prices, and let USERS CHOOSE, since they are BOTH freely available in Trial version. Hint: the Cloud9 version is also lower in system requirements, which is an even more sensible reason to keep them both available for purchase.
Talk about how to **** customers off!!!
Talk about customers pretending the moon, instead...
About JFK, the FS9 version is 5 years old, we don't support FS9 anymore so yes, there IS a better, newer and (guess) more expensive, which is JFK V2 but, unfortunately, it's for FSX/P3D only.
With a difference: since JFK (compared to Cloud9 KLAX, which is NOT, we just licensed from Cloud9 their old products catalogue) IS an FSDT product, you CAN upgrade to JFK V2 with significant discount.
But not for FS9, because we don't support it anymore since 2 years (KLAX for FS9 was our last product for FS9) so, you should really USE the nice Trial option before purchasing anything for FS9, because those products won't be upgraded anymore, but we offer an easy upgrade path to FSX or P3D: ALL your FS9 purchases can be used under FSX without paying anything, the only exception is the paid upgrade to JFK 2 but, since JFK V1 has been lowered in price now, adding the upgrade price to a JFK V1 order is basically the same as if you purchased JFK V2 right from the start so, no damage is done, even if you realize that JFK V1 wasn't good enough, you can fix it with no monetary damage.
But, of course, everything turns around the fact you use FS9, which is the main problem, you just can't expect we'd support it forever and the end of the line arrived with KLAX, and we clearly explained this 2 years ago so, no reason to repeat it again now.
