After Carenado’s recent announcement that they will only be producing add-ons for Flight Simulator X, I’m sure many people will be, like myself, delighted at the news that they have decided to release their last 2 models for Flight Simulator 2004.
After many emails from customers demanding us to make the C152II compatible with FS2004, we finally decided to go ahead and make that product compatible with FS2004.
The product will be ready in the next weeks and will be as a separate package, meaning no upgrades or patches.
We are working in order to have it ASAP; this decision also involves our C172 which will be ready early 2009.
This really is fantastic news and, hopefully, only the beginning for FS developers.
To be honest, I’m not terribly surprised by their decision. There’s still a huge demand for quality add-ons for Flight Simulator 2004, and I believe there will be for a very long time to come. Some people just don’t want to pay for the best gaming rig they can possibly get just so they can use FSX when their existing system runs FS2004 beautifully. However, it takes a certain amount of courage to admit you’re wrong, and my hat goes off to Carenado for making this decision, although the cynic in me can see that Carenado probably saw a lot of money not coming their way if they decided to stick to FSX only.
With this in mind, I’ll be making an announcement soon for all FS2004 fans. Watch this space
