...didn't you realise that you were being charged at £1.50 per minute while you were flying on line with us tonight...?

The charge goes up to £3.00 per minute if you use non-approved Commercial Passenger Jet aircraft in the Simviation Tours.

..and F15's doing aerobatics?....you don't even want to think about it!... Shocked

...rewind...

I was pointing out to Carl, as a newcomer, the dire consequences of ignoring the rules, flying a "Boing" 747, and performing aerobatic maneuvers with it, in one of our regular General Aviation, Low & Slow, Piston Prop Tours, and the resultant exorbitant cost which may be imposed upon him by his telephone company for doing so, during his Multiplayer activities... Wink

..!

....and taking the glorious opportunity of terrifying him at the same time!...
...as is my wont.... Smiley

Paul... Grin

The inclusion of a pic of one of my dinners was just an opportunity for an extra spot of advertising... Roll Eyes

...by the way....this was yesterday's Dins...Brains Faggots and Yorkshire puddings...Enjoy!....>>>

god... i thought a cat running away from home was known as 'going stray' but this thread takes the cake!

in reply... i believe that 'may charge' is only if you do not pay a capped amount each month. EG, broadband. if you dont run broadband, or you DO pay per minute then i believe you get charged more for that

hope this helps!

(sorry Fozzer, i know you are a great help, but your sunday roast doesnt really help keep the phone bill down Wink
