I Google'd "OFF Ready" and this popped up:

Listen to this guy towards the end:

Hello "Enthusiast",

i have nothing to do with the selling or programming of "Over Flanders Fields - Between Heaven and Hell" (Phase3), so i may freely speak my mind. I also posted this over at the OFF forum:

The dev team sure did not invent this price out of the blue. After all they have been developing this sim for now 5 (?) years, offering at least 4 year's work even for free download until now. And i firmly believe they will continue to develop it, be it for improvements, added planes and such for Phase3, or for phase 4 - whatever. Only thing that would change their course of going strong would be statements as "50 bucks are a big toad to swallow".

Here in Germany PC games cost about 50 Euros, which is much more that 50 $. You might say that you have to get a CFS3 copy, BUT:
The dev team also stated they would probably go for another "engine", so they would not need MS's CFS3 any more. However not yet - this is a private thing, no company.

But apart from buying an engine for further developing somewhere in the future of this sim, they have to pay their distributor - it is not at all sure whether the money asked for does indeed come up for their costs.

You may not realize it, but the flight sim community is not as big as you seem to think, let alone a niche product like a WWI simulator, even if it's the best currently existing. Ther are no masses to gain as with Doom, or Half Life and such.

Only my opinion, you can still get phase2 for free, just ask in the sticky over at the OFF forum.

Greetings,
Catfish

The kid (Enthusiast) who asked the question is 15, and I for one don't trust this Catfish fellow's post at all... indeed, the same goes for him himself.
