Probably the best way to find the answer for such question, I don't know how many worktime is nehind FSPassengers, and I would bet
that Dan himself cannot tell exactly the time he spent on it..

probably more than 3000 hours... but what justify the price imho is the list of feature,
I saw lately an add-on that just include scenario for 14 euro, for only double price
you get a very long list of features... (chatter, crew, map, log, export log, keyboard for com/nav
failures, sounds.. etc etc)

I'm probably commercially dumb to put so much feature in one add-on while I would be allowed
to release some of those feature as separate add-on wich could potentially double my income.

Anyway I'm a passionnate programmer and flight simmer, not a commercial.

It is EXACTLY what my company (I mean the RL one) does. For the standard price, the customer gets something like a demo version. Then to
unlock almost any usefull features he has to pay options... As long as no competitor offers more. When this happends, some option become included in
the standard...

Well, it works and, fortunately for me, my company is wealthy.


As customer, I can only wish that you keep on as you are doing so far. Now, when browsing the net to see what's told about FSPassengers, you are known
as someone who give us for our money and will more likely get mega popular in the simmer's world.

My best hope is that the lack of income from too low price will be sweeped off by the number of orders

SUCCESS !!!

And THANK YOU for that - it's great to know that there are still people like you out there. (Seriously!) It's a great part of what makes fsp and
these forums awesome!

And where else do you get such great support from a one-man company? (+ a bunch of dedicated beta-teaters and other helpful people,
of course...)

If not already, you are making a legend of yourself, Dan! That has got to be worth more than money - I just hope you sell enough copies
to make you want to keep doing what you are doing... (And hopefully a whole bunch more than that, since you would probably be doing
this no matter what... )

Being a Legend doesn't put Bread & Butter on the table or pay the bills though mate so my hope is as word about FSP gets out Dan sees
his returns big time.

Best of luck on that Dan, so far it's heading that way and that in a couple of weeks, here's to ya mate.

This program is worth a lot more than what it costs! Think about all the enjoyment us devotees have had from flying with FSP!!! It's
immeasureable!

Thread closed. It was a hit and run. When Mypilot comes back, I'll unlock the thread at his request.
