How would you know they're making a profit if you're not a team member? I think Virtuali hit it, they're hobbyists who really don't care.

I have several of the FT sceneries, as well as Shez's KPHL, and I don't see them as that similar. I would compare KPHL to sceneries like FRF Studios or Mach1 Design Group. If Shez thought he was comparable to FT, he'd be charging for it and recouping some of his investment.

How would you know they're hobbyists who really don't care if you're not a team member? Once again, your ignorance is showing mate. Tell me, if they aren't making a profit, why would they continue to sell their scenery (which costs them in server space, business taxes, etc.) if they could just upload it to AVSIM for free (both to them and the user)? Something tells me they aren't stupid. ::) ;)
And you seriously consider Shez and Ian's KPHL on the same level as Mach 1 Design Group? Both are good but to say they are on the same level is absurd. And no, Shez and Ian wouldn't be selling it just because they are on par with FlyTampa. They don't view it as a business whereas FlyTampa and many others do. They are content with providing sceneries for free as what they do is solely hobby work. FlyTampa and others have taken the opportunity to make it a business. It has nothing to do with the quality of work. It has to do with the mindset.

First image attached: KPHL
Second image attached: KMHT (the latest release from Mach 1)
KPHL (SunSkyJet): just about everything is custom...custom textures, custom buildings, custom vehicles, custom buildings outside the airport perimeter
KMHT (Mach 1): other than custom buildings and a few custom vehicles, everything is default...nothing done outside the airport.
Now, let's discuss the third image. This is KBUF, by George at FlyTampa. Just like SunSkyJet, everything custom and some work done outside the perimeter fence.
So, you still think SunSkyJet is on the level of Mach 1 and FRF? If so, then you've lost every ounce of credibility.

Whatever, Mister Blueprint. I'm done with this thread.

:D
If defending a developer because they are unnecessarily bashed on countless forums makes me Mister Blueprint, so be it.
