I think a new trailer would help aswell with a sales drive.

I think this one would not help like the first ones......*wink*

I probably lack the marketing imagination to see what they could be doing. I think a concerted effort to advertise the game for the holidays while still being a very unpolished jewel could be detrimental. I know the game has come a long way, but has it come far enough?

Just reasonable questions. Not trying to be inflammatory. I want the game to succeed and have many people (new and old) enjoy it.

I think a significant patch which targets subjective areas would really propel this sim. The recent patch has dumbed down a lot of awesome features: the lighting, the cockpits, the brilliant terrain colours in Beta 1; and I believe that if they reverted back to older work and then pushed the graphic engine further, the sim could evolve brilliantly.
Of course, such a patch would include new, enitcing features. I guess one could call it a monster patch. If it was marketed well, as well, that would be brilliant too.

+1 to Trumper's original post.

Expect new chip prices (CPU/GPU) to go up (or at least not drop in price for a while). There is massive flooding in Thailand and the areas of Bangkok that manufacture the majority of the world's chips are either under water or are about to be underwater.

Actually it's:

-Two Intel Xeon X5690 processors (twelve physical 3.46ghz cores on QPI + hyperthreading + turbo->3.73ghz)

-48 GB registered DDR3 ECC memory

-10gbps upload/download all fiber network

FS~Phat - eat your heart out

Once we get dedicated server files, expect 3 or more servers running at the same time from us :)

Seeing the track of record so far I doubt they can deliver polished product before Christmas. They may be able to polish to 46 level, but that's still a turd to the masses.

They maybe able to win back some hardcores though. I am personally waiting for the new gfx engine.
