Hummm ?? This is what I'm referring to as Mis-Leading Titles & Advertising on Flight Simming products on some Web Sites, usually posted by someone who knows nothing at all about the products their posting ! I seen this product Advertised and listed for like $43.95 us dollars, I read the Title twice and the description 3 times just to be sure. No where does it mention anywhere in the Ad, what Simulator this is for "No-Where" ! If I hadn't had this exact Add On' years ago with my FS/2002 Flight Simulator, I'd thought it might work with FSX Flight Simulator. So, "IF" I was a new comer just getting into this Hobby, or say maybe I was a Foreigner and my English not all that great and took to "Assuming" and Trusting those who listed the products to hopefully steer me in the right Direction, I would of Ordered this Flight Sim Enhancer Product.  This Product is " ONLY for MS 2002" Edition tho !!  Why is that not anywhere in the description and the Title ??  Everything in RED & Black letters I added myself using paint shop Pro, to call attention to those who are selling the outdated program that only works in 2002, that needs to definetly be put in the title and the description !  Imagine paying almost 45.00 dollars for this product, it arrives at your door step, and then, and only then, you find out it will NOT even work with the Flight Simulator you have, would you be pissed ???  Heres the photo I took of the product, and, it is Listed on Simivations own E store site,,,, just so you know ! http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff401/IFlyWings/fsenhancer.jpg

It also says "Exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002" on the bottom right corner of the package photo, but yah, other than that, and the review, no real effort was made. Goes to show, buyer beware on sites like Ebay and Amazon.... Roll Eyes

That is probably the Retail Boxed version of LAGO FSSE [Flight Sim Scenery Enhancer] for FS 2002, (and LAGO FSE [Flight Sim Enhancer]for FS 2004), both of which I purchased in downloadable form for my FS 2002 and FS 2004 many years ago...and still use today, and one of the main reasons why I still use my FS 2004!

Those programs are for enhancing your FS2002/FS2004 scenery with the drag-and-drop objects (people, etc,) that you see in my Screen shots*!

A wonderful addition for anyone who is still using FS 2002!
LAGO FSSE is for FS 2002.
LAGO FSE is for FS 2004**.

LAGO never did produce a version for FSX.

Paul....LAGO FSSE + FSE.... Smiley...!

Yes, thats a lot of money for something that old  Cool
But why pay when you can get something free!
I had this in my f9, and i sure can remember it as a beauty.
It was the Waikato carrier, made by a downyonder

The LAGO FSSE and FSE programs are "scenery designers", (similar to Abacus' EZ Scenery), enabling you to enhance your own scenery using drag-and-drop objects, as I have done in my Screen Shot above.
The scene above can be completed, in real-time, in a couple of minutes whilst the Sim is still running!

And every Airfield/scene is all your own work!

Paul...LAGO'd.... Grin...!

There’s nothing "Mis-Leading" about that. If it was misleading it would state that it was for FSX.

What it is, is lack of Information in the Description. But it does say it's for FS2002 in the picture & in the review.

Are you saying that Pete our webmaster & the owner of Simv doesn't know anything about FS? He’s been Flight Simming for years & has even made a few planes.

Also Jetranger you need to start uploading your images to Simv. It's the rules.

Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Well, i have tried to upload img to your server. Every time i do it, i get a msg, its too big! Then i need to go on photoshop or something like that, to reduce the picture. I'm not an eagle to do such things, nor do i think some others are. Therefor photoshop is an easy way.

I try to follow rules, but its not always the easiest way.  Wink

Your file needs to be 155kb or less....up to 650kb total per thread.
If your shot/s are over the limit the uploader won't take them.

Try
BDSizer
, Bass. It has a really simple one step process to resize your shots. Remember, 1024 wide and 155kb max.
