buying this model is the worst waste of money I've ever experienced
it was great and promising to be developed according to the first versions
but now, after 2 years of silence you release a "new" version with several minor changes (by the way, the engine performance remains as unrealistic as it was in the previous one). I'm completely frustrated by your disrespect in the attitude of customers.

This update wasn’t presented as a complete overhaul of the aircraft, nor is it the end of development. Laminar released a version of X-Plane that would ultimately cause plugin crashes without this update. It includes the improvements we were ready to release, and we’ll continue to improve the product over time.

General statements that something is “unrealistic” don’t provide enough information for us to investigate, but detailed examples do.

Flight model crashes need to also be reported to Laminar Research. Thanks!

Absolutely. I did hit send, and it stated that the message was uploaded to Laminar. Are there other steps I should take?
