...what should I buy?  Ive never been able to buy payware because I dont have a credit card, but for hannukah my aunt sent me a 50 dollar AmEx Gift card, which can be used like a credit card. 

I spent $35 on the MAAM Sim DC-3 (should get here tomorrow Grin), and now I have 15 left, and I cant find or decide what to spend it on. 


Sooo,  what should I get?

Well.....He did say the "MAAM DC-3"!
I've been wanting that.
But you've made it tough.......

This would have been good....
But $15.00?
So.........
http://www.fsd-international.com/
Goto Products......T-38/C-17 combo.......$12.00!
Unless anybody knows of "Good" payware for $15.00?

Sorry thats the best I can do!

And yes, 35 for the DC-3, but in reality, its more than that.  A fully modeled, 100% accurate DC-3.  Full Cabin, custom panel, fully clickable VC, custom sounds, full ani.  It also comes with a C-47 cargo, A C-47 Paratrooper plane (with paratrooper effect), a cargo version of the DC-3, and the prototype XC-47 amphibian.  Also, there are a lot of repaints availiable. 

So to sum up, its 5 models, sounds, extremely accurate fde, and tons of paints, for $35 (5 for shipping).  So, $5 per model, $5 sound, fde, paint, and $5 for CD, documentation, and shipping.

I actually bought the MAAM one because I could, but a major reason was because I really want the XC-47 for bush flying, STOL in the DC-3 is a nono

Well....I have the Seneca.......It's so-so! not up to current new stuff.
So the 1900C would be good choice.I can't get into WW2 fighters......Sorry.

I did it!  I bought the PMDG 1900C because it seemed like the most bang for my buck.  3 models, 245 liveries availiable, so, yeah, downloading now.

Hopefully my MAAM CD will arrive tomorrow!

That was so fast, I changed my mind alot in just 2 minutes.  How do you handle buying payware?  I mean, I needed an hour of thinking about the MAAM after buying it to realizwe that I made a good choice!

I just looked to see what I would get the most.  Ive always been afraid of payware, but being able to get more for my money is good.  Like with this I get 3 models, instead of one.

Its great!  I am definately going to use this whenever I want to go on a nice long flight and do it quickly!  My new transport plane!
