Thanks for the quick reply Erwin, looking forward to those instruments, any
idea on the first developed instrument for the Viper yet, or will they all
be relased at once ?

  I can answer some questions:

  The FSIS system will be priced at EUR 395, this includes the software and
the ICPU.

  The instruments will start at EUR 205 (single axis), and roughly EUR 50
per extra axis.
  IMPORTANT: these are preliminary prices. The prices will be finalized for
each instrument as soon as it become available for shipping.

  We did not compromise quality and fidelity, so we choose the most perfect
solution, and still tried to keep the pricing as attractive as possible. I
for one would not want an instument in my pit which looked or performed
anything else than the real thing.

  We will, besides the civil ones (Cessna, 7X7, Airbus etc.) do the full
F-16 block 50. We will also offer a kit for people who want to retrofit an
existing instrument. In fact we will do _any_ instrument we (or the
customer) have specs for.

  About F4 Glass Pro, I bought a OGL library and hired a professional
programmer to aid me. F4 Glass Pro will be sold around EUR 200. F4 Glass (2D
version) will always remain freeware.

    Excellent Erwin!!

         I know there are several of us looking for this solution to our
viper pits and the timing is great, seems there are several of us that I
know of,
    at about the same stage of building and instruments/interfacing will be
in the near future for all of us. Could you elaborate on what instruments
you will be making for
    the Viper, in what order, price range. I know that's asking a lot, but
tell us what you can, maybe it would influence others to wait on
sim-instruments items
    versus investing in other solutions.

    Looking forward to the F4 Glass Pro, will this be freeware also? I would
defiantly pay for it if not. Are there any new features in the Pro version
we don't know about?

    Thanks for the update, I for one welcome info like this from developers
being posted to the list.

    also, very good report.

    Mike Williams
