Just wondering about how much some of us spend on FS products,
I personally have only bought one considering the fact is that most payware products are expensive especially because of exchange rates.
(If the USD, GPB and the EUR went weaker that the NZD I'd be in heven)

Can't believe how much I have spent over the last few years on FS2002 and FS2004

RedBaron = 2
RealNZ = 4
Flight1 = 4
Lago = 14
AlphaSim = 11
Aerosoft = 5
Captain Sim = 4
DSB = 1
Eaglesoft = 6
FlyTampa = 3
FSD = 3
PMDG = 5
Razbam = 1
MAAM-SIM = 1
FSNavigator - 1
Active Camera - 1

Apart form anything NZ related I have stopped, until the next wave for FSX start coming out.

Jeez, I wish I had the money to spend on FS products. Does anyone know of any stores or websites that have fs products at low prices?

Now would be a good time to purchase as sales usually slump when a newer version of FlightSim comes out and there are some good bargins out there, though the NZ dollar really does hurt us at the moment.

Dozens.
$100's and $100's probably $1,000' & $1,000's.
No flightsim is complete until you've installed the next amazing add-on. ;)

Hehe, you have good taste HEVN, I have all of those ones above as well ;) (Forgot about the old Godzone series).

I also once had Islands of the West Indies but thought it was so crap I got a refund from Flight1, very decent of them.

I have to say the France VFR sceneries are absolutely superb - you can fly from Ajaccio (birthplace of Napoleon in Southern Corsica) all the way to Geneva with photo textures under your wings B) It's the place to fly when not flying in NZ or the UK (or India, as I am at the mo!)

All I've got is two of Robin's scenery CD's and FSNav. I'd like to get more but until I upgrade to 2004/FSX, I cant see much point at the moment.

You don't know how jeleous I am,
anyway I was thinking about getting Real NZ Wellington in the not to distant future.

By the way where do most of you get your payware products?

PostPosted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 8:32 am

actually, does anyone know of any freeware products that were previously payware or could anyone tell me the names of incredibly good freeware developers and incredibly good freeware scenery and aircraft?

go to alphasim website or abacuspub to get free trials or some old payware products ,and your best bet to find good deals on payware would be the simmarket.com
