Mr. Steve Jordan,
I hope you don't mind, but I have plenty to share here...

Well, its hard to get developers to commit to do pure Military bases in their entirety, only Aerosoft and FSDT have ever done partially combined (Civilian/Military) ones to my knowledge (besides those that did Nellis for FS9/FSX); Ken's a good man to do these welcomed features.

I would, however, suggest consultings with Mr. Jim D. (over at SimOutHouse) who specializes in FREEWARE Mil.-bases and has one or two that are quite good by many freeware and some payware standards.
The F-22 I do not know much about, and what I do I will not speak on the open forums out of respect for the mans family.
I agree; no need to "kick a guy when he's down" ... Moreover, I have no intention of talking either openly or behind his/anyone's back about people, my interest lies purely in the product line and its *quality* with respect to reality. So, lets just pray for him and his family situation and hopefully he can recover from whatever burdens he may have now. But, I would be interested in knowing how/why your F-22 development(s) are halted. Email me, if you can, about it or make me sign an NDA, if you need to ensure I keep it on the QT; which I will of course anyway.
The F-15C/E will be sold in our normal manner, from our newly launched
http://www.milviz.com/fs/news.php . While the wrapper, or delivery method may change, we will be selling all future products from our very own website, and other select retail outlets.
Awesome; now can I convince you guys to make 2D versions of the MFD gauges? I have (x4) TM Cougar MFD's and I plan to purchase something like these (
Lilliput Um-70 7" USB Monitor) to place behind them for *FULL* functionality and immersion. I believe that VRS is planning on doing the same for the next update to their product line by the end of this year as well.
Could MilViz could do this for its F-15's as well? Thank you!
The scenery is going to be freeware. We thought long and hard about this, and decided to let people see the T-38 who may be a little gun shy to buy the bird. Granted it is the AI model (we tonned it down a bit to help FPS), but it still looks really good. Plus it brings a lot of these dead military bases in FS to life.
Just give it a few weeks on the market, then do (or have others do) more videos/advertising and things will pick up. I spent the first day or two after the purchase reading the manual and it is quite extensive for someone whose firmiliar with these kinds of things, let alone a 14/15 year old who's reading it for the first time, despite the pretty pictures.

So, perhaps many here will need some time.
Also, when I'm able, I may (with your blessing) add AICarriers launch/recovery to it (just for fun) and that might definitely encourage more sales.

But in all seriousness, the model is outstanding, having an AI version with it makes for more enjoyment/emmersion and all the other features (truck, ladders, etc.) adds for many hours of learning, discovering, and playing which is what seperates the *toys* for $5.00 from the ones for $40+.

You'll have done outstanding work and time will demonstrate it.
IMHO, however, I highly suggest you get someone like Mr. Cody B. or Mr. Roberto "Mhimhi" C. with the right video editing tools to do promotional videos for your products. Please don't get me wrong, what your doing is very good with it. These guys, however, have highend systems with video-editing tools and are experts at using them - thus, they can sell "Ice to an eskimo," as some of your Canadian staff here might say. Believe it or not, that's 50-70% of the battle with sales. (e.g.
MilViz S-64 Skycrane)
I'm on your side here, I want guys with your talents to make more outstanding products; which I fully intend to buy/use.
And, I really liked the way you showcased all your products in one video... do more videos like that, showing off features that each of these models are capable of doing is what got me and many others "baited" and "hocked." And, now I'm a very happy customer.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this....
Keep up the good work!
