[simpits-tech] news from lomac

[Mike Brogley]

You know, with the total cash outlay represented by the simpitters on 
this list alone, you'd think "target market" accompanied by repeated 
cash register sounds would have been the first thing flying into the 
minds of any software company managers who heard about us.

Building data export functionality into the architecture from the 
initial specs really adds very little to the coding time, and once 
they've got me invested in hardware and interface software specifically 
tied to their product, I'm in much the same boat as any corporate 
AutoCAD user - when the next rev comes out, as long as it still works 
with my setup I'm locked-in market share and represent an almost 
guaranteed revenue stream. MSFS has been open for a while (dunno about 
CFS), and now the LOMAC folks, but does anyone know of any car racing 
sims with hooks for external instruments, or mech-war sims, or 
massive-multi sims, or anyone else making any effort along these lines?

I would think going after long term market and revenue would be part of 
any good business plan - but what do I know, I don't have an MBA.
