If that is teh case can't I download it compile it and then I have CFS3.

Still I think it is cheap that they are charging. If it was a donation for bandwidth like happened on subsim for the SHII mods etc fine but this sounds like a chance to make a profit.

Like I said, not 100% sure about the source code thingy. And yes, I have to say again, charging from it at this point is cheap-ish.

yeah right, a few 100 orders divided by 10 or so guys makes such a huge profit. Give the guys a break it's not like it's a few textures, or the odd plane - it's a total change from a poor sim to a great sim with all the extra stuff. If you like WW1 then there is nothing else anywhere near it, $50 well worth it some people in that forum been there since the first Part1 released in 2005 and still playing.

But the point is that with Phase 2, the game is pretty much complete, a total conversion. What one has to pay for with Phase 3, is few new features, not the whole mod. And the way they ask the money "for future developement yadda yadda yadda.", they've done the mod for years without financial support and I cant think of what those "developement costs" are.
