Personnally, I hope it's more in the 20 euros range. This would make it not too expensive and quite attractive. Like we'll see in the game,
there is a fine line between the right price and the too high or too low price.
It's perhaps dumb but if you set a product to cheap it give a bad impression...
my last tought about the price is 26.90 euro (may change again) on wich
I'll have only 50% online (taxes) , on boxes in store I'll earn about 3 euro per box only.
Calculated I must sell about 4000 copy online just to payback my debt for this last years...
4000 was about the number of copy sold for the best add-ons for Fs2002...
I don't do FsP to become rich , it's clear...

Hi Dan,
First, let me tell you that FsP looks great and I can't wait to play it.
I get what you are saying at and fully understand your need for $. Have you thought of payment through Paypal or something like that or
will you be going through a distributor? If you do it yourself with PayPal, the portion that will be given back to you will be much higher
meaning that you can set the price lower. The big drawback is that you will loose store visibility (which you could probably gain by
featuring on various pages such as flightsim.com).
As a customer I, of course, will tell you to stick with the lowest price possible. Personnaly, I would tell you to go as low as you can. Let's
face it, your new VA feature is absolutely great. If you can get VA to buy into your product, you have a huge distribution network but the
catch is that you want to be low because if you don't, the players won't buy it.
Another thought would be for you to have 2 versions. The stand alone version (the one that you currently have where you have career
progression and all) and the VA version which could be much cheaper and only track passenger satisfaction and flight performance.
Just a though. Don't worry, at 26,50 Euro I'll still be getting it.
