Products have their customers. I think Edward has his reason to release those terrains as payware. If you are very hardcore simmer and you love seeing detailed and realistic terrains, you think Edward's terrains are the best and you have "enough" money and a strong PC to handle those terrains, you'll buy. Otherwise, I think Deuce's terrains are good choices. I don't have money, so I decide to use Deuce's and I'm happy with them. But honestly, I think Edward should make some more impressive add-ons because people not only love terrains, when they love one game, their love it's graphics, sounds, gameplays,v.v... but terrains are only one part of graphics. I agree with the idea : "price=quality". Why there are so many people buy YAP without any trouble ? I think YAP give them a really good add-on values. YAP=24,95$, if you subtract it's first 10 mission then maybe YAP=14,95$ while Edward's VNese terrain = 15$, let's make some comparison :
- YAP's price = 14.95$ and you'll get: awesome aircrafts, awesome objects, awesome targets, Deuce's terrains and effects,v.v.. except mission (you can built your own with QMD).
- Edward's VNese terrain: with 15$ (more expensive !) you only get the more realistic terrain.
So, I'm sure there are not as many people buy Edward's terrains as they buy YAP.
