Fair enough. You are entitled to your opinion...I obviously disagree but I can agree to disagree. :)
Regarding my application for Beta Tester: 1) They do have beta testers. Beta testing isn't testing for level of detail, but it is testing for bugs. 2) I never said it was flaws in their work. I thought over time they could introduce a higher level of detail but obviously that isn't their goal (as then they'd have to charge more for it and they seem quite content at the level they are at). If I were them, I wouldn't want a Beta tester who disagreed with their level of detail. That kind of Beta tester probably wouldn't be very effective as I'd be more focused at things other than bugs.
Hold on a second, did you say you worked at LAX? For 11 years? Wow, I didn't know that. It isn't as if you've mentioned that before, right? :P :D

Have to nominate that one for Joke Du Jour! ;D
For people like me who run both FSX and FS9, they already charge more than FSDT does, and the quality is less than half as good. Charge more... ROFLMAO!

LOL!! But good point too! I think having a beta testor who does't like their work could make very good contributions too.

ROFLMAO@U!
That's nice...good for you. As has already been explained, the majority of people do not run both sims. Most people run one or the other. For those running FS9, they may switch up to FSX and then, you are right, it wouldn't be too much of a deal. But for someone like me who only runs one sim and has no plans in the forseable future of switching, the price for their scenery is excellent.
For someone like me, I could buy FSDT which is 30 USD (and get no use out of the FSX version at all) or I can spend something like 14 USD to 25 USD and get the same amount of usable product. Now, knowing the level of detail provided in each product, I'd be inclined to go with the FSDT product.

Very true, if they were looking to improve the level of detail. In that case, someone like me who isn't a fan of the work would be extremely valuable. But when they are content with the level of detail they provide and do not want to change markets, then someone like me who would focus on the level of detail wouldn't be a great candidate.
