We all know that there are millions of payware add-ons for flight simulator;
From airplanes to sceneries, from utilities to modules.
But all of this specifically to be with the target of pilots. Single human persons that stay on the computer and use that software to play on Flight Simulator.
What about payware software for Virtual Airlines ? We don't have a single payware software that should be payed by Virtual Airlines Management Teams and also should be licensed to be used by pilots for that respective VA.
I think the flightsim companies have much to gain here:
1. They could achieve a better market penetration by using the Virtual Airline to expose their products to pilots.
2. They could create a new license type and achieve better revenues.
3. They would have a better feedback (with all respect to pilots and users) from the Management team who would give them strategic suggestions for the future. After all, the Management Team always want the best for his VA!
4. The first company to do this, with a good, stable product, wins the market.
3 .. 2 .. 1 .. GO!
To have a strategic development plan, we need to feel the need for it. And we already have. Look at FSAcars, a freeware software, simple one and we have hundreds of VA's using it. And I'm sure if José Oliveira (one of the founders) made it payware the VA's would use it.
I'm sure that our Virtual Airlines community would give a step to payware if that new software could be tremendously improved and with a specific covered necessity.
I'm not defending the payware mode for this kind of software. But, I defend that if we want to improve this software in a way like pilot-software improves, we need to get the best flightsimm companies to design it and integrate it on the Flight Simulator.
You, FS2Crew, FsPassengers and others, think about it ...

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
