A lot of posts in the LAX backdoor forum mention that LAX would be their last scenery from FSDT, so it may prove to be an unwise decision. I would've liked seeing both supported until the release of Flight, but I'm not a developer.

Which is exactly as I've said:
--- Quote ---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.

FS9 WILL BE supported after KLAX, at least until the Flight release, because in that time we'll do:
- Zurich and KORD updates, possibly a JFK update as well, all of them which will be available for FS9 as well, save for the FSX-only graphic updates
- Hawaii 2 will be for FS9 as well.
- GSX has always been said it would be for FSX only, because there's no way to make it run on FS9 (no skinned animations=no people, no simconnect, no simobjects, etc.)
So, exactly as you would like, and exactly as I've said, FS9 WILL be supported at least until MS Flight is released. There will be NO NEW and UN-ANNOUNCED products for FS9 but because, quite simply, we don't have much "new and unannounced" to announce right now.
Bruce Hamilton:
Looking at it from that perspective, you'll always be supporting FS9 because those users who can't run FSX on their system surely won't be able to run Flight... I'm not even sure my Core 2 would run it. When I speak of supporting FS9 until Flight, I mean with new product. ;D
PUP4ORD:
Some people have a hard time to except change and the reality has come full circle with FS9 development winding down. I'm not saying the FS9 users have to switch over to FSX this minute but they will have to realize they will have to. No bones about, FSX has gone through a rocky start but with new addons being developed FSX will be around for some time to come. :)

Those running with 5 years old systems (I had my Core 2 in 2006) will eventually upgrade because, at a certain point, it becomes more costly to *mantain* such system, than to purchase a new one. FSX runs well on current sub-1000$ systems, like this 899$ i7 Sandy Bridge:

So, the hardware argument is moot, at today's prices.

Which we ARE going to do, since Hawaii 2 is a NEW product, which will be released after KLAX and before MS Flight, for FS9 as well. You are confusing "new products" with "new AND un-announced products", and I was quite careful writing "new AND un-announced products" in my previous post...
