Not that it is really on topic to talk about it, but pretty much all the forums I deal with have such a time limit between posts.  And often for doing forum searches as well.  To prevent you from flooding the board and crashing the servers or just making things nasty.

Annoying?   Sometimes I have been annoyed by it.  Mostly with the search one, where I want to enter a new keyword and run the search but I have to sit there for a few seconds until it will go through....but if it means it helps keep the place up and running, then I am all for it.

I prefer to wait for a solid, comprehensive and bug free release myself.

I do get the anxiety of seeing previews, the promise of a new release, and wanting that new product, and how that anxiety can build when things go silent from the devs and target dates go missed.   I dont know how many of you are big time FSX fliers, but we went through a bit of a debacle with PMDG's NGX release, it was horrible. 

I wont bother going into the details of that experience, but with that all being said, I say that anxiety is a far better thing than that utter annoyance and let down when the product finally does come out and it is almost unplayable and you then spend weeks if not months waiting for patch after patch after patch to get the thing right.

If the 2007 version is any indication, this development is in good hands.  The screenshots show they are bringing the game more into the modern fold, it will be expanded.  Yes the wait is hard, I know it.  I would love to see version 2 out just as much as the next guy.  But in the mean time, fly the missions in 2007 again.   And again if need be.  Or try the 'other' space sim out there to get your fix.

Be please, be patient.   The NGX experience is perfect for understanding why it is so important. 

And besides, I would rather have the devs and testers and the like all busy on working on the game than having to moderate spats here.  Not saying there are spats here, but....things can get out of hand in such circumstances.

VERY WELL SAID

The issue with the time limit between posts in this forum is that sometimes it keeps saying you can't post even if you haven't been logged in for days since your last post. And it does not disappear if you log in and off several times. You have to wait until one day or other it might work again. This is something I haven't seen in any other forum. It wouldn't be annoying if the time span really would be 60 seconds and not hours or days although it keeps saying 60 seconds.

What I have seen in other forums is that you can't even register because you get the message that you haven't entered the correct code while there wasn't any code displayed at all.

These are clearly issues of the anti spam functions.

why is there just a few members posting here?

Because there is no software support anymore for two and half years. And no news regarding SSM2 anymore for many month. So the need to visit this forum is declining for many users.

I visit this forum without any expectations for quite some time. I just log in to see my assumption of "no important news anyway" confirmed.

why is admin not saying any thing?

We don't know. And those who know it don't want to, or are not allowed to say why.

While it has to be said that the PMDG 737 NGX wasn't officially announced until 2010 if I remember correctly, and released in 2011. First unofficial news and speculations came up in 2009.

This is not comparable to SSM anyway. There is no support anymore for SSM for two and half years. And Exciting Simulations is a smaller company/group than PMDG, focused on one product only.

I am still here, guys. It's just that I decided some time ago that I will not be flying a Space Shuttle again until SSMS2 is released. I did the same thing with the Power & Glory mod for GTR2. I used P&G version 2.1 for some time, and then decided to wait for version 3. This was two years ago, and P&G3 was finally released a few weeks ago.

And do you know what? It's absolutely brilliant!

Let's hope the same thing happens with SSMS2

..lucky you able to wait years for next release without touching any more a game...in particular SSMS ;P

Anyway, let's hope SSMS2 will de released "realistically soon"

[Cthulhus]

As you know the next Alpha version is on the way with new big things to test for us.

From that version, we'll be able to show you more things too because, that version will be a BIG STEP forward on the sim development.

When the new Alpha will come ? Not so long, again hard to say but that will not be so long. Why Admin don't come here? As we said here before, admin is currently not available for a personal and unforeseen reason. Its personal you see ?

And please, don't blame us, that will not HELP US. Just be patient a bit more.

And Moonwalker, the fullborne pessimist havent come up with a new doomsday theory yet?? Chocking  .

Saying that SSM2007 is not supported is pure bulls***.
I got help with new keys and stuff just a couple of days ago.
So support is definitely still 100%.
But there will be no new missions and updates for SSM2007, that was stated a long time ago. I cant recall any software that got so many free updates as SSM2007 and Im pretty sure SSMS2 takes all the time.

If Moonwalker got any problems with this matter I suggest you sit tight and wait and stop nagging about it like a 6 year old child on his first car trip.
As far as I know we all paid money for the rights to use the SSM2007 software.
We didnt bought the whole company so Exciting Simulations doesnt have any obligations to tell us anything about SSMS2 progress if they dont want to.
If that is good or bad you can have different opinions about, but you cant keep posting all kinds of doomsday theories about things you have no clue about and expect not to be confrontated.

And thats what just has happened.
