1/ DI is dead. As far as I understand, Rod Swift was the key programmer at DI and was the sole survivor of the golden era of DI's flight sims. The other team members (including Rob Marshall, the other MD) left when Titus took-over DI.

I think I remember reading that after F16FF came out there was a big staff walk out. Apparently the producer and half of the programmers went to work for Psygnosis. I can't help thinking that DISH must have suffered as a result. Now that the MD's gone as well, is there anybody left at DI who knows how to make a good flight sim?

I think he was part of the DI technical support team - though I might be wrong
Is he still at DI?????

Sadly, the whole flight sim market looks pretty dead at the moment. DI is a smaller company and if the management really has left, then that probably isn't a good sign! Just look at DID last year.....and how many flight sims have been canned.

Has anyone even heard anything from DI in the last few months? No gold version of the game, so what's coming next? Maybe, with the market so competitive and sales so bad for flight sims, they're moving out of flight sims?
Especially if their experienced programmers have left (the MD, if that is indeed true, and the guys who went to work for Razorworks), perhaps one of the oldest producers of flight sims is to produce flight sims no more?

That would be a sad day, but maybe inevitable.....
