Mustangs, Mustangs!

How about an approx price range, please. We are sure this is going to be more than worth the price, whatever it is. However, some bills may have to go unpaid, so we need to figure what ones to notify... :jump::kilroy:
 
Mustang Launch!

Folks,

Sorry if soon may have seemed like it came and went; soon, when your working hard, can indeed, do just that!

In answer to some recent questions:
Collings P-51C two seater, no plans at present, but there will be one off specials, even hopefully a racer, so you never know!

Additionally we will be selling texture sets in the not too distant future.
So there will be no paint kit.
You are quite free to paint the aeroplanes for your own use only.
Further details to follow soon.

The Fighter Leader is downloadable as well as Boxed as there was some confusion.

All other questions will be answered as soon as you have seen this for yourself. There really is a treat waiting for everyone who loves Mustangs and is an avid Warbird fan.

With a fair wind....this week!

happy Landings!

I'm puzzled! What does this mean? 'The Fighter Leader is downloadable as well as Boxed as there was some confusion.' Wouldn't it be correct to add: somewhere in the near future??? 'Cause there is nothing to download yet! 'The Fighter Leader is downloadable as well as Boxed as there was some confusion.' tells me there is a plane to download! Could you be less vague please?

While I can fully appreciate the business sense of this, it's still a great shame. One of the great joys of the A2A Mustang and Thunderbolt was John's paint kits; beautifully made and simple to use. It also sounds as if the door is shut on the publication of free repaints; again understandable after the immense effort that's gone into this project. But sad nonetheless.

I agree Krazy. It seems to me someone is doing some bad marketing job here!

What?!?! Selling texture sets? No paint kit? My use only? WOW!

Firstly let me say if this is the fact I am highly disappointed with this decision, #1 as a painter who loves to share his work with others that are not able to share in the talent, #2 as a buyer who now has to pay for a "paint job".

In your statement it says we are free to paint the plane as we wish for our "own" use, how do we do that without a paint kit? Create one? I say If I create a paint kit that is my creation, then why can't I do with my paint kit what I wish?

This is crazy, and frankly might even cause me to pass on this purchase.
 
This is getting totally out of hand. While John's work is totally awesome, and he deserves all the kudos and reasonable pay for his work, making this a totally "hands off" to others as far as paints is going a little to far. Many of us don't have the skill or time to do our own paints, and not allowing those who do, or wish to share their work, is a little over the top. Getting real close to having to say, "Think I'll pass" on this one, which will be a real shame, as this is one of the most awaited for release, by one of the SOH's most favored artists. To bad. :redf:
 
Thanks for the update Albert, even in light of the "restrictions" on repaints, this appears to be a top notch package. My Visa check card and I will be waiting:wavey:

Wow. Am I reading that correctly – painters, even if they build a paint kit of their own, cannot distribute paints of this plane for free? Has there ever been another payware plane that had this policy? I can’t think of any, but they may be out there. That seems a little odd. I might buy the plane, it looks great. But I’ve never, ever, spent money on a re-paint of a plane (and more importantly to this company, don't plan on starting now...) Surely I’m reading that wrong…
 
Hmmm....

It *looks* like the maximum amount of deterrents are being used here fight against piracy while at the same time, trying to maximize profits...

I remember Tom Wood of simTECH talked about creating paint packs for sale....can't remember if he implemented it though....
 
Sorry Warbert,

As much as I have anticipated this particular product, you have ended that anticipation and enthusiasm by your "restrictions" of no paintkit, no repainting except by you, and i "gotta purchase" the largest and most expensive version to get the paint that I really want.

Your marketing this thing to wring the most cash out of us at a time of economic uncertainty.

No thanks. Too much other "Good Stuff" out there, payware as well as freeware. I vote with my feet on this one.

Regards
Steve
 
Hmm, selling textures??? WHY?! :banghead:

Than that's a no go for me too, unfortunately. I was really looking forward to 3rd party textures with all the knowledge and unbelievable talent around here. Why would any payware producer miss out on the support and attention of the community by letting us pay for textures?!

Damn, I was so looking forward to the Malcolm hood Mustangs... .

This "A" word gives me the creeps... . But is this true, are the web templates originated from Ariane? And is Warbird sim in any way connected to them?

No trolling, I want no FS politics, just to make sure so that I can make up my mind. Thanks.
 
sounds like the "CHANGE WE NEED" has sneaked its EVIL head into our sim world too. Sad but true and frankly......in 2 days if "CHANGE" is what we get.....my "CHANGE" will be limited to my family needs because I won't have a choice so.......

I may get blasted but damn it this is getting crazy and driving a nail in the coffin for me.....
