Falcon 4.0 AF? Anyone heard of it.

Thats one of the things I like about AF: Aeyes' beautiful cockpits come as standard.

Actually, Dutch has me thinking (and not about the morality or whatever of buying mods): In the sim community, especially flight sims, payware mods are very common and, obviously a lot of work does go into them. Some of the payware aircraft our there for FS9 for example, have had hundreds and hundreds of hours put into them. What I'm wondering is why we don't tend to see it for other genres even though there are mods for different games that have had every bit as much love and work put into them.

Why IS it so common in flight sims and very few other genres?

I'm thinking that it's got a little to do about age ranges. I think the older crowd is the majority for flight sims and the older crowd generally have more ready cash than the younger crowd and are more likely to pay for these photo-realistic add-ons.

Yeah, thats pretty much what i think too. Mind you, Although I'm one of the 'older crowd' i think it would be pretty easy bankrupting yourself for FS9. I've already spent a small fortune on it and I've only had it a few months..
