Yes, I have payware now. My first is really the MAAM DC-3, but It hasnt arrived yet. My 2nd, is this: The PMDG B1900C. I got it because I only had $15, and I finally decided that this was the most "bang for my buck". Well, I couldnt be more right! Its great, but I need to get some textures!

How can you not like this VC?

I took it for a short flight from Chilliwack to Hope
Here I am lined up for takeoff, and what a great exterior model!

Takeoff!

This thing flies really well, nice and smooth, and its okay on the frames!

And Its got good STOL capabilites (my new bush plane!)

I hope you liked! The first of many shots from me in the payware section.

Indeed, a very nice plane and great shots to demonstrate!

The VC shot is very nice, really captures the essence of analogue cockpits! Wink

You know what Jake, since you like flying low and VFR, I think that a good next purchase for you would be some realityxp stuff.
I have their Flightline 530XP and WX500 weather radar, it enhances the VFR experience so much.
On their site you can find user edits so that you can place those gauges in the panels and VCs of popular addons.
For example, I have a weather radar and a Reality XP Garmin GPS in my Flight1 Cessna 172. It adds tremendously to the experience...

Again, a very nice set of shots!

Hey Jake,

i have the MAAM DC-3...im actually in the Beta Team of MAAM....I love this Aircraft. Maybe we can go for some formationflights?

I think i will start my own FSHost server the next days...so if you are intrested we can fly together.

By the way: Do you know Golden Wings 3? If you love vintage flying it is really great.

cheers

Yes, I know GW3, Im a major advocate of it and silverwings. The DC-3 was my first purchase because the default just wasnt enough. I got these because I had a $50 American Express Gift Card, so I got the DC-3 then the 1900, and now I have 10cents left!

Jakemaster you have now come to the Darkside! WELCOME! Now you too shall blow all extra money on flight sim add ons and constantly remain poor. Tongue

I have thought about getting a credit card my wife does not know about so she can't actually see how much I have spent. I showed her the clip from PCGamer about FSX coming out and she turned pale as a ghost and started babbling....not again....not again......Holy God who art above please no.....please no! I think she might be a little worried that the next version of flight sim might make us homeless. Hey like I said welcome to the darkside. Grin
