Its oficial... Im stupid Grin. I just wasted more than $500 on payware ircraft in less than a month. This is the list.

1) DreamFleet A36
2) Cessna 152
3) 421C Golden Eagle
4) DreamFleet 310
5) DreamFleet Archer
6) DreamFleet Cardinal
7) Carenado Mentor T-34B
8 ) Captain sim Legendary F-104
9) FSD Aerostar Superstar
10) FSD Piper Navajo Panther

What I mean about being stupid is that I totaly forgot about the realair spitfire Undecided

The best of all those downloads I would say is the DreamFleet A36 because of the very interactive VC.

cheers (I will post some pics of them as soon as possible)

But why did you both put it into something you probally will never fly in...instead you could have bought the PMDG 737, CRJ, or ERJ.

I do see you bought some props that are new to the present time but I am talking about the aircraft that are old already.

Dave,....It certainly makes me wonder too...!

13/14+ year-old schoolboys being able to spend more than twice my total monthly pension on computer games...!

It's certainly not something I would be proud of..!

I often wonder if it's Mum and Dad who are actually paying for all this luxury, like super-dooper computer systems, hi-speed internet connections, telephone charges, the electric light bill, computer software, computer hardware, etc, etc..... Wink....?

Does any schoolboy get over $500 a month pocket money to blow away.....?

I wish I had that sort of money to feed and clothe myself, pay the rent, etc, etc....!

Paul....always makes me wonder...or is it dream time... Wink...?

1) DreamFleet A36
2) Cessna 152
3) 421C Golden Eagle
4) DreamFleet 310
5) DreamFleet Archer
6) DreamFleet Cardinal
7) Carenado Mentor T-34B
8 ) Captain sim Legendary F-104
9) FSD Aerostar Superstar
10) FSD Piper Navajo Panther

Let's see....10 aircraft, and most of these are in the $20 price range, some a little more some a little less. I know because I have most of these too, and know what the prices of the others are except the Captain Sim Legendary F-104, dont have a clue what they get for that one, now I never was that good in math, but I know 10 planes, at let's say an average figure of $20, doesnt equal $500  Undecided

Did a little research:
1) DreamFleet A36 .......................$24.95
2) Cessna 152     .......................$17.95
3) 421C Golden Eagle ....................$22.95
4) DreamFleet 310 .......................$22.95
5) DreamFleet Archer ....................$19.95
6) DreamFleet Cardinal ..................$22.95
7) Carenado Mentor T-34B ................$19.95
8 ) Captain sim Legendary F-104 .........$35.95
9) FSD Aerostar Superstar ...............$24.95
10) FSD Piper Navajo Panther ............$24.95
-----------------------------------------------
                    Grand Total        $237.50
If you paid $500 for all those planes, then you paid more than twice the price they are selling them for on the websites...... Shocked Shocked Shocked

CJ I didnt know you were 16. Hell Im 20 and trying to get by. Im just lucky to have a computer that works(Its not the fastest in the world, CJ you know). If u pay that much for aircraft in that short period of time you should think 2-3 times better when buying AC(can I afford it--rent, light bill, water bill, and other things like gas money, wich youll get later down the road when your older marick).

Hell Im going to collage and I want alot of things like a new comp(last), some RAM and new Video card for the comp I have now, BF2, and materials to build my simpit.

The way I try to get by is a lil simulator thing I do at collage. I bet mumy and daddy are wondering why the bill is highter now than it was before the kids... Tongue Wink!

It seems there is profit to be made from payware after all. I can remember when this was a real hobby & the majority of addons were freeware. Roll Eyes

Well the thing is you just cannot get a Freeware quality aircraft for the competes with a Payware quality aircraft, and by that I can only speak for commercial airliners.  I do see some older aircraft out there that people are purchasing that are not worth the price people are paying.  Show me a freeware aircraft the competes with the the Feelthere CRJ.
