I went to KS for a look see and happily I need to back track on the Skype issue. According to the due date for that particular part of the reward, it seems to be Sept. 2014...so never mind and my apologies

Hold it not so fast...my logic is flawed, Skype was promised(donor just pointed this out to me) for the development stage, Sept. 2014 is the hoped for release date of the game. So the Skype guys should be upset right now!

So Skype could still happen anytime up to September 2014, but yeah I forgot how integral and essential those Skype sessions are to flight sim development, I simply cannot see how this project can succeed now without some chats on Skype, we thought the randomness of the Friday updates was bad......that pales into insignificance compared to the lack of Skype chats, it really leaves a bitter taste in the mouth now, all those screen shots of the development so far were achieved without a single Skype chat involved, can you believe it, the 21st century and no Skype chats, what is worse is that we can't use the Skype chats as another medium for airing our dissatisfaction about the lack of Skype chats.

Certainly good points that you make, but for these people it was important to them at the time of the pledge. Would they have pledged the 1000.00 without the Skype feature being promised?...I don't know, but I can understand their disappointment that there has been no contact

I struggle to feel sorry for anybody who backs a kickstarter for a game simply because they wanted a Skype chat............I believe there are premium rate phone services that offer something similar.
