Hey Dan,

After finishing the survey and looking at the results, it looked to me like your product was largely uknown. Its great that i now saw the banner on
avsim.com, but i think you should look into more ways to advertise your product to people. It looks like you have atleast 818 people who never
purchased your product, and im willing to bet that most of the would say that because they have never heard of it. Anyway what i think makes your
product so unique is the fact that pmdg or pss are not your competition. Infact, you dont have competition. So you have an excellent market
potential, since most people fly PAX planes.

I actually have no clue how your marketing status is as it stands, but i found fspax because someone told me and not because i saw it as an
advertisement and i know a lot of other avid simmer who never heard of this.

thanks,
Nick

The word is getting out, this FS world of ours is for a great deal based on people telling eachother about great or not so great products
time will only tell ... I remember back in the late 90's PMDG not being well known either.. look at them now

Strangely enought, although Avsim and other "big" sites has received a copy of FsP for evaluation and review, they never did one...

I personnaly think good review is the best publicity!

They still might pagir, avsim and the others are not always the fastest around

Really hope you are right, Jay Kae!!!

when you are unknow it's hard to make your way, most news mails from me where largely ignored
at start, now being included in the avsim survey mean that they start to take FsP in consideration.
The best advertisment anyway is when people speak about your software in other forum.

Today avsim asked a CD for a review... good track maybe ?

FSP is a VERY NEW program. Look at how HUGELY popular and successful the PMDG 737 is now, even YEARS after it's release! It's
difficult marketing a new product, and we're working on it!

That's how I found FS Passengers, on the PMDG forum.

I found out about FsP on simviation.com many many months ago when it was but a ripple in the FS world as something to be released in
I think it had a year to go, maybe a little less.

My initial interest was not there, as I couldnt see a reason to have FsP, and there was little information about it, and the closer it became
to going gold, I was reading more and more about it, then the demo came out and I tried it once and was hooked. I knew it was
something I would enjoy, just didnt know to what extent (Im an FsP Addict through and through) and find myself never flying without it.

As I have said before, FsP has had me flying in aircraft I have not flown in months and months, hell some I even forgot I had and enjoying
every minute of it.

Wherever I can I profess how good it is and how worth the cost it is as well. Considering how many hours I have spent using it, it costs less than a penny per hour of flight time. A bargain in my book!
