Miami Please Reconsider!

Hey FSDT,
I saw some posts by LatinVFR, that Junior (Intersim) might close the company. To be honest, Intersim has really shown us nothing but the J terminal and a few buildings over the past 6-8 months. I dont know if Miami will EVER be completed by them. Therefore, if they were to close, would you guys still to MIA?

This doesn't surprse me. But either way, I am sure that by the time LAX, Hawaii vol 2, and Zurich Redux is complete (which might around be the end of this year or the beginning of next year) and Intersim still hasn't released, I believe Umberto will focus on MIA. Too many people voted on it 2nd after LAX.
Lets just hope LAX sells enough sales in the FS9 version that Umberto will recreate MIA in FS9 if an FSX version is made...

He did say though MIA will still be released under Taxi to Gate. Perhaps now JR will solely focus on KMIA and not so many projects at once. Lets just cross our fingers...

I'm sorry, but the next new scenery will be FSX only. FS9 users, however, will still get upgrades (like Zurich, O'Hare and likely JFK next) of existing sceneries.
We said it many times already, and it's confirmed: there's no way we can support 3 different platforms once MS Flight will be out.
And besides, what we are doing with KLAX is so advanced (KDFW will look "dated"...), that we can't progress anymore if we were still bound by FS9. Porting KLAX to FS9 will not be trivial which means, for the first time, we might not be able to release the FS9 version at the same time. And, it will look drastically inferior to FSX anyway.
It's time to move on, guys...
About MIA, we never be worried about other developers doing it, and I was quite sure they wouldn't be able to pull it out because, one thing is showing some 3d renderings, but it's way more difficult turning them in a sellable product that works well and into a commercial operation make strides into the market.
The issue is, after KLAX, we'll have our hands full with GSX, all the old products updates and then supporting MS Flight, which will keep us busy for a while even without starting entirely new airports.

An extremely wise decision on your part... and about time, as well. :D
Check your PM!
Grazie! :)

From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense to stop supporting FS9. That being said, I'm sure many of us FS9 users are not going to jump ship and start using FSX. Until "flight" comes out, many of us FS9 users will just be sitting on the sidelines waiting for the release of flight. Way too much money/time invested in FS9 at this point.
