If you ask me this is total bs.

I have come to realise that the only way to enjoy FS is to buy the old version the moment the new one comes out.
This way you are sure you can run FS at maximum details without framerate problems.

That's what I did, too: I bought Fs2004 second hand when FS-X came out.

An update frequency of two years for FS, and 3 years for the last version, is not what I would consider to be lasting "for several years". but I would welcome very much if it would take let'S say 5 years between every version, or even longer, becasue addons becoming bETTER THAT WAY; AND LASTING LONGER: of the German Airports series, consisting of four packages, the final and last part for FS-9 will be released 1st quarter 2008 - with FS-X being around for over 1 1/2 years then.

the ever growing speed in business is turning customers dizzy with needs for faster and faster updates. The tail has begun to overttake the head. Can't say I like the way things are going. Too fast, too short-living, too crazy.
