I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought I'd open a new thread. Feel free "jet-pack" to move it to the appropriate topic.
Now that FS4 is released are there gonna be any FS2 continuations or updates or upgrades or is it now gonna be left by the way side...? I noticed on the AeroFly website you can't even buy the DVD anymore. Glad I did when I did or I wouldn't have a back up copy. 
Personally I have no owned a DVD player for 10 years and have not missed it since.
You can still by the DVD version for Aerofly FS 2 but we've changed the links to the new Aerofly FS 4, which is currently only available on Steam. It's much easier for us to update the software and to make fixes for the Steam version than any other form of delivery. If there are major issues we can still update Aerofly FS 2 but I don't expect there to be any new features to be added now that the major new sim is Aerofly FS 4.

I understand it makes a lot more sense to do final RTM testing via Steam, because you will be dealing with standardised installations of AFS.
I am happy to wait for a fully-sorted non-Steam install , preferably on DVD (s) or by a direct download. I am moving away from Windows to Linux, because of the way MS behave, and for similar reasons I want nothing to do with Steam either, but I do want AFS4, because I see AFS as the future of flight sims. Keep up the good work

There are still fixes for any Windows issues affecting the original Aerofly FS, there was a peculiar yellow shadow thing fixed not that long ago.
The end of FS2 development and resolving of outstanding issues is the real reason we need to adopt FS4.

Ah, I C, that's what I figured. I'll patiently wait till all the bugs and fixes are done with FS4 before I make the switch. FS2 is working excellent right now and that's all I can ask for at the present moment. I'm a patient man.
