Hello Hugh,
thanks for your info. Indeed, Axon seems to be more adequate for people who think ‘tech’. I am looking for a software that helps me find a way to make something work; pin the obstacles; be sure that I have not overlooked something important; and grab the interdependencies between items (very important).
Or to say: I have Brain 1.0 :) and look for some support.
Regards,
Peter.

Hi,
Thanks for bringing these up. They both actually look very interesting to me, as I have been considering a strategy/modeler for a while. Southbeach seems to have a lot of features, which Flying Logic looks a bit more polished with constraints.
Could anyone give any opinions who has tried either of these or any others?
Thanks, /Pavi

I’m surprised the folks at Sciral didn’t let their current user base know about the new version. Hmm. Anyway, I’ve always been a big fan of Flying Logic and, rather than repeating myself, you can see why here:

I like some of the improvements in the new version, particularly the ability to add a user-defined graphic to an entity. I don’t think the improvements are worth the upgrade cost, but I’ll probably upgrade just the same as it is a tool that I use ...
I haven’t tried Southbeach.

Hi Pavi,
I have Flying Logic V1. I originally came across it as I was learning about Theory of Constraints.
I’ve used Flying Logic for mapping out processes for others to follow and clarifying my thoughts on a high level.
The best part of Flying Logic is how easy it is to use. You’ll be up and running within minutes.
The worst part of Flying Logic is the flip side of the ease of use.
In V1 (haven’t tried V2) ,you can’t move the boxes around yourself…
The program decides how to visually organize the boxes for you.
This is both liberating and frustrating (when you are creating bigger files).
Have you tried CMap yet?
It’s completely free and has some similar features to Flying Logic.
You may want to check it out if you haven’t yet. :)

From your link I see that your statement dates from 2007. By this time prices were affordable but then they inflated without substantial additional features.
