You should have planned your release-date more conservatively. Sure, I will buy X-plane 4 months late, but others will await M$ Flight (or something else).
There is a reason why launches flock around Christmas: people have cash to burn! No matter how you turn this, this delay will make you lose (some) potential customers…
Hardcore fans (like me) will buy XP10 whenever it comes. But you sure missed out a good opportunity to open the field to casual simmers…

I trust you will release it when you are ready. To tell ya the truth, i am not ready for XP10 yet.

You guys are doing great so far. and by the way, i love this blog.

I'd rather wait for a stable, awesome X-plane with full ATC, lighting, textures (etc), than have a half baked version right now. I mean, I waited 5 years for Gran Turismo 5 and that didn't kill me (and it was certainly worth the wait.)

Also, for anyone interested, Wikipedia had a brief synopsis of the Mythical Man Month theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month#The_mythical_man-month

Keep up the good work guys!

Take your time. Make it right. Release it when it's ready. We'll wait.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt (and near nervous breakdown). The world will not grind to an unpleasant halt if X-Plane 10 is not under my (Christmas tree) (please substitute the gift giving icon of choice). You guys are to be commended for stepping back and being real with us. Thanks for that. And thanks for the screamin' hard effort.

**If you code it, we will buy.**
