Really?
You have programmers who work for $20k?
That's rather depressing, I'd leave the country ASAP.

Yes, 28-33K is a normal salary for the average programmer in Russia.

LOL! Thanks Slip...I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. Yes...many of the hard core flight sim crowd "forgot" how to use a computer and what it takes to run a flight sim.<sigh>

Bad press didn't ruin the sales....it's the worst release in flight sim history that caused the sales to be bad. The bad press was(and still is) justified.

RoF's commnication was exceedigly poor until Jason became involved. Not sure if it's a cultural thing or a business difference between countries.

Your welcome, but think back a minute, people like to read reviews on-line before buying. Not saying the game didn't need work. I'm convinced Steam was a big part of the game freezing up.

Yes, it's a good money even for the life in Moscow.

It didnt sell well because it was universally panned and they are still diddling around with fixing things a year and a half down the road, creating new problems as they fix old one. Why should this surprise anyone but fanboys?
I LOVE a good flight sim....but the operative word is "good". This thing has just worn me out..Im done with it for now.
