They went silent.  No updates in months, never got my shirt.

...perhaps they bought a used Ford Escort and ran :)

They haven't disappeared.  They are updating, just on their site.

However, I still have not received my T-Shirt either.

Thanx jack for the HU.

It is a very interesting concept and one that merits some thought. He's dead right about the availability of used aircraft parts, especially the audio units.

Flight sim (non real) audio units can cost up to 500-600 bucks and still have limited functionality.

I'm probably not going there, as I've gone the other path and the use of Ethernet is just another complication I don't need in my cockpit, but that's my decision.

For many tho, I could see how this is exciting news and opens up some real opportunities,
