He told us long time ago that it will be for both FS versions  ;) so.. let's see  :)

What he told us was if it would look as good or better than the C9 version, they would release it.  They are doing so much with the FSX version that has to be removed later, that it might not be worth releasing the FS9 version.

Which isn't relevant.  They said that, in a blunt way, if it is going to look like crap, it won't be released.

Of course it's relevant, nearly 50% is lot of money to lose... Me personally will NEVER buy more FSX stuff. I'll wait for something better than FSX to come along before I'll invest some money  ;)

As a dual user, I happen to be one of those 40 to 50%, so your point is...?   ;)

Right, but he later said was that it was looking more and more likely that it would look better than the C9 version.

I personally  have an i7 build but still fly FS9. It's not only about performance.

Amen to that...  ;) BTW the C9 version of LAX is old and it's not AES ready... so that's why we fs9 users need a new LAX  ;)

It is not relevant to what Umberto said would be the determining factor of whether or not it would be released for FS9.  IIRC, the odds were looking good.

No matter what people say, FS DreamTeam is ONLY gonna produce what is more logical for them and they dont care about what percentage of people are still on fs2004. Where are these numbers coming from anyway? 40-50% of people still on fs2004? How did one come up with these numbers? If thats true, then the percentage of simmers on FSX must be 90-100%. Im just glad I have FSX and dont have to come on ANY forum to try and butter up developers to release a newly developed scenery for an outdated sim (sorry if I struck a nerve. To tell you the truth, I think im saying what some of these developers want to say, but can not. Just wait on the release and keep your fingers crossed (they release a fs2004 version). Im gonna leave you with this thought, how long do you honestly think that all the flight sim developers (not just FSDreamTeam), are gonna keep producing fs2004 content? Its totally up to you to keep flying it and not switch over to fsx (I know I can care less), but why keep stressing the developers out and arguing in the forums with other simmers about the importance of an outdated sim. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, and hell, it might not be 5 yrs from now but I can guarantee you one thing, one of these days all of you fs2004 simmers are gonna be flying FSX...thats just my opinion though....and now im gonna open the floor to all arguments ;D

 p.s.
     just remember to go easy on me, im new to the forum

Maybe I can find more polls

A poll from 2009, which was voted by just 59 people, and one from 2010, which had 23 voters aren't very representative.

Along 2010 and more now, we have noticed an acceleration of the FS9 decline, it used to be a strong 42-45% up to last year, but our more recent data shows that FSX is finally gaining over. And, we have a little bit more solid data, because having a Trial we have several thousands downloads of each product, every month.

For our latest scenery, Hawaii Vol. 1, 65% of downloads were of the FSX version so, the trend is clear and, as they say, in economy only trends matters...

Not that this has much to do with our decision to do or not KLAX for FS9, that's entirely technical and doesn't have anything to do with market share, since even an FS9 at 30% of the market is still viable for us, provided it doesn't take too long to do a conversion from FSX to FS9, which as of today, never took more than a week.

The issue with KLAX with purely based on quality: since we already HAVE a KLAX scenery for FS9 on sale, it wouldn't make much sense to release a new product if it wouldn't look better than a 4 years old one. We believe we'll be able to outdo Cloud9 KLAX but, since lots of design methods we are trying on KLAX are quite new, there's always the chance something might not look right on FS9. However, as I've said in a previous post, it's likely there will be a new KLAX for FS9, that will look probably better than the Cloud9 version but, will also look drastically worse than the FSX version...so, if you want to get the "real" KLAX, use it in FSX. Not an issue with our products, since our licence works for both sims at the same price...

Have seen another polls that show defiantly, but I can't remember where I saw it...  :-\ anyway, lot of folks are still flying fs9. So I hope U still will make scenery for fs9 as well...

Cheers  :)

What I can see when watching the eye of IVAO i can see about 60% of all flights are done with FS8/FS9 software.
Every member of IVAO is able to check that with the IvAe.
