sounds to me like some people are going to be in for an awful shock when they leave home and mommy and daddy wont pay for these things.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to start an argument about payware vs freeware. What people spend their money on is their choice & nothing to do with me. However, when a 14 year-old thinks nothing of spending more on FS addons in 1 month than some of us have to survive on it seems a tad wrong to me, especially if they're not satisfied with them. Fozzer hit the nail on the head really & he puts it so much better than I can.

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

...?

what if I saved up the money? (even though I didnt)
and anyway... If my dad says no.. its no.

I for one enjoy payware aircraft. Sometimes payware is the only option for getting a particular aircraft that you cant find in freeware.

Sure there are some absolutely fantastic freeware aircrafts, utilities, sceneries out there, but as a whole, buying payware to me is a hobby. Granted my purchases have slacked off in recent months due to reasons beyond my control, however, I look at it this way. I enjoy simming. Its my hobby. Its my way of being able to "fly" since I can never get a pilots license, and in retrospect, its relatively cheap. Ive spent probably close to if not over $3000 for payware addons from aircraft, to utilities, to sceneries, etc, and other than a small percentage of the ones Ive purchased, I have been enthusiastically happy with each one and loved every minute of it. Is it worth it? To me it is, because its a hobby I very much enjoy.

And regarding the FMC aircrafts, yes, its a viable payware option not overly accessible to freeware aircrafts, but it does not make a purchase for me. While realistic, I would rather be flying than programming the FMC for an hour and a half before I even think about taking off.

I dont know where this idea that simv thinks payware is wrong comes from. If Pete or anyone else here thought it was then they wouldn't allow it at all. It has a seperate forum because as it gained in popularity we had much confusion over what was payware and what was freeware. Piracy is what people here have a problem with when it comes to payware. And we know the reasons it isnt allowed in the comp is to keep it a level playing field.

Jr. Savas might have a medical problem that stops him from flying. Or it could just be too expensive to do. What may seem cheap to you certainly isn't cheap to those who have a mortgage to pay and bills that appear most days of the week.
