ive been waiting for someone to do toronto for years, George mentioned he wanted to stay away from the mega airports and you have to respect his decision. Im very happy to finally see some Canadian recognition in the flightsim forums. Some developers are alteast considering it.

Sorry to hear about sales George, count me in to buy what ever it is you choose to make.!

keep em commin.

Now I just need to build up some funds to survive doing this stuff. Sales are very very poor compared to 4 years ago. Seattle sold 4.5 times the amount of Boston or Buffalo. Why I don't know; FSXs failure, shrinking spilt market
Right now Quebec(CYQB) & a new one, Graz, Austria(LOWG) are favourites.
That is very frustrating to hear, especially when FSDT seems to make this a primary business (at least Umberto). I guess everyone loves the major airports. But still, you'd think something like Boston would have sold quite a bit but I guess the fact that you had the excellent freeware version for FS2004 hurt the sales a bit and Buffalo isn't a major destination that you would have many international flights going to.

George, I'm also sorry to hear about the low sales the economy sucks so much now I hope it gets better. Quebec(CYQB) sounds great I guess maybe you would do better with a European scenery and make better money then american airports. but I Figure that if you can get in airport that receives all different kind of traffic and airlines that his not a megahub would do well for you. and if priced right you get more sales too.
I noticed a big trend in this hobby with raising prices you guys should really test out more sales like fsdreamteam sales, it has sometimes it seems to be doing well for them and captainsim. once in awhile just a thought
its easier to get around $25 $27 dollars maybe the most but going on $30 dollars and up it gets really hard for some of us, some of these add-ons not flytampa ones but some other ones are hitting 50 dollars and up already I don't even buy x-box games for my son's at 50 bucks I get the used ones that are $20 $30 the most. and the euro being high most of the time hasn't help us ether it made things worse.

Respectfully,
Marketing... more promotions, combo packs variables and the most important: frequent relaunchings of them in the commercial websites ( SimMarket, The FlightSim Store, The FlightSim PilotShop... they are many ), therefore today the money and memory of the people are short! Good luck!
PS: if allows another commentary, adjust the FT homepage to be work in the portable Apple devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad), therefore we can't select and choose the options of the menu bar (Flash!?!)

I would love it if you guys did Toronto either Person Int'l(CYYZ) or Toronto City Center/Billy Bishop(CYTZ) in the near future. I thoink out of those two City Center would be better because it is a little smaller, it is right beside the CN tower on an island. IT would be sooo awesome if you guys did one of those in the future.

THANKS!!!

I like what FSDreamteam did with the Poll it gives a good indacation as to what airports are popular.
Have you thought about KMCO Orlando Intl that has been asked for many times on many boards? IMHO leave Europe to Aerosoft and the other compainies who wish not to touch US Airports.
We still have many good airports that need to be up to the FT & FSDT level of quality
MCO
DEN
RNO
ATL
IAD
PHX
OAK

Hey George,
I couldn't figure how to PM you on this new board. I want to know how I can support you. PM me.

George:
It would be nice to make the México International Airport (MMMX). Besides it is an excellent airport for flight simmers (little bit complicated approach, busiest airport in Latin-American, etc…), you don’t have an idea of how this airport has been requested! Believe me, the sales of this airport would be incredible high!
Hope you like it!
Thanks, Andrés.

None of this stuff helps. Our market is too small.
The cost of an add in a magazine is about about the same as my entire monthly income. Not worth it for a few extra sales.
