To be frank, it doesn't surprise me either. The whole deal has seemed so amature from the start when they were using this and the FlyTampa forum to advertise their product until they had their own forum. Then there was the "it will be done in 45 days" post, which came and went. I'm sure they are nice folks, but I think the way they went about the whole deal from the very start was very very bad to put it mildly. There is always some drama, just like when they closed the first time and now the recent posts you gave the link to.
If they close it will only be a matter of time before the "Intersim is not dead - Part II" posts pop up hear and on other sites.

I didn't see that part of the post, but who knows how long and/or if it will ever materialize. If it does how will it perform?
I noticed in a post from Richardo regarding the Key West project that the models had too many polys and weren't up to standard of good design technique to be able to provide sufficient performance. If KMIA is the same it would have probably ended up being an FPS hog anyway, which is one reason I was praying for FSDT to do Miami since they have proven time and time again that they are the masters of FPS optimization!!
I guess only time will tell when we may see KMIA from someone. Since Umberto and team are going to be tied up for a while with updating older products, KLAX, and GSX, I will continue to use my FlyTampa KMIA FSX port over until something comes along.

Well, Umberto, I guess when the Hawaii guys are finished, they could work on Miami? I really really really hope that you decide to maybe hold off on the "upgrades" or hire some more designers, or make the Hawaii guys do Miami, as I really think that FSDT can make its mark with this airport.

It's possible, but they would like to do another very large US airport instead, we haven't announced yes. And no, don't ask which one, we'll not tell until after Hawaii 2 is out.

We promised the updates a while ago, and they are long overdue. And putting new designers to work on older projects, on top of having to teach them our design methods, will result in too much time lost (by an otherwise too busy team) just to have them figure it out how to assemble the whole scenery and work with our tools, since we use far more than plain simple SDK.
And, if the Intersim/Latin VFR story is teaching us something, is that it would be very difficult to find reliable designers we can trust...

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?

I hope that if FSDT doesn't do KMIA, that tackle KPHX which is another airport that has long been touched by a 3PD. Aside from the fact that it would round out the KLAX and KLAS area nicely as well.
