This is the price of a popular freeware addon guys, we wait until an update is eventually released. Don't expect payware update response & feedback...these developers do work hard to bring entertainment to us and have their very own lives too, I think enough has been said with the posts above. The least we can do is wait, whether its a year or two etc. Like I said, it's a freeware model which is still exceptionally good.

I hear what you saying, but again im sure lots of designers who prefer to keep their addons freeware, will do so and many of them stated they will always keep it freeware as their choice. This suggestion/idea is already at play when you look at 1) DCS, with freeware simulator and payware content in order to expand the sim, and even 2) FTsim who also releases freeware sound packages but are limited to certain sounds, and for a few bucks a month, you can access full sound packages, so in this sense, if this idea has not spread to variety designer groups by now, then it will eventually, with or without my posted suggestion. But the suggestion I made specifically for the LevelUp B737NG Series, was aimed at encouragement to continue with updates and work for this fine addon, as we value their work and the even the fear of losing a great addon such as the LU 737. I mean, how many payware addons even, have some of us not purchased and eventually ended up as abandonware and incompatible over time? So yes, i hear what you are saying that this idea will spark fear of being the end of freeware. But we also need to look at the big picture from a flightsim community point of view, if we lose these fine designers, then we lose the addons too, and how far are we willing to go, to keep them active and motivated to produce more or even better addons in the future?

That would make the cabin environment more realistic for sure. Although I have both the LU 737Ng series and Zibo mod 738, and i must say im switching back to LU737 from the Zibo 738 again for the 2nd time haha. Even with all the cabin environment sounds of the Zibo 738, there is just that look and feel of the LU B737NG that keeps pulling me back haha, but thats just me.

I was just wondering, and im not sure whether this will be helpful to the designer or group that created this fine B737NG addon, and im sure I will get my head chopped off for this by the community. But I feel personally that for a model done so superbly, in payware quality, then these designers spent many hours bringing joy to the community. And if they can't be rewarded in a form of donations, then maybe a small sub fee can be charged to access special updated content. I mean incorporating something similar that FTsim fmod group did? As you already released the B737NG which is version v1.0 as freeware, and then major or minor updates can be accessed via subscription fee per month? Would a form of paid subscription benefit the team to update this plane to where it should be? Just thinking of a way that would benefit both the sim community and especially the design group.

I really hope so, was wondering the same thing just now. See you beat me to it haha Its truly a lovely model and fly it quite often.

I would like to add a request too if i may please? Just so there is one available for a South African airline.Thank you very much.
