Hiya Phil, nice to see you over here. Like me, I too am one of the old stalwarts and remain with a foot in both camps, not always politically easy, but I try. As Dave said, now you know where all the old reprobates hang out, there's no excuse not to visit more often :(

I have 2 paws in one camp, 2 paws in the other over a picket fence. I wear sunglasses so no one knows who I am. Stealth is a strong skill I developed over the years.

Can I have some of what you're on Dan? :(

Hi Phil,It is indeed good to see you. You have too long and too varied an acquaintance with many here to let politics or emotional flareups and backlashes interfere with good old common sense. Like voters in an election, the people on all sides of an issue are right, in their own way, at least in their own mind. So, I look forward to enjoying your company again! By the way, it is never too late to make a new impression. :smile:Kind regards,

Can I have some of what you're on Dan? :(

Lack of proper sleep has caused a mental disorder and fixation for all things dogs, flying and sunglasses. I will blame Stephen (Spirit Flyer) for the sunglasses, and the dog picture is to hide my true identity. We know how the net is. Post my true picture and my the fan mail will start rolling in. Hiding behind a sunglassed pooch is practical as my true identity is masked. Then again lack of sleep may cause an inaccurate assessment of one's self. Any way you cut the cake, it's all the same slice. My straying off topic is another casualty of sleep deprivation.

Just dropped into Orbx and saw a fella commenting on the high price of porting over his addons to P3D. Oops I thought, this will be interesting...

Ok Dave , I'll try and get in touch with Frank about his sim build .

Glad to hear from you gents!I know the discourse has mostly been about the forum moderation, but this is how I (me, myself and I) have taken to the SBSLs:1. Buy the region SBSLs since they, like the regular FTX regions, are the best value. Especially regarding the AU SBSL which not only gives me the SBSL for all four original AU regions but SBSLs for YSCH and YMAV as well. (it's 6 SBSLs in one $6.95 AUD package if you consider what it covers).2. Buy an airport SBSL when I decide I want to fly from or to it.3. Following the rule 1 and rule 2 you can make out like a bandit on the SBSLs that you will use.Just something to think about, and no I won't respond to any negative posts about how I purchase the SBSLs.

Sounds like a solid plan to me Phil. I still think Orbx should have seriously reconsidered charging what they do for SBSLs. Sure, charge for the areas, PNW, CRM, PFJ etc, but not for every single bloomin small airport!

Nothing for nothing, Howard. This is a business now!

Phil,

AU SBSL which not only gives me the SBSL for all four original AU regions but SBSLs for YSCH and YMAV as well. (it's 6 SBSLs in one $6.95 AUD package if you consider what it covers).

Is a good deal.Having a fix free for every airport is fair.Unless and this goes back to why I got Banned, if you have just about all Orbx airports then and I still stand by what I said that got me banned that IMO (me myself, I) that it would be "fair" to ask for a muti airport SBSL like you got for AUS.So Orbx sets a price for lets say 8 airports to buy in one go and you can "Actvate"10-12, good for high users only.Anyway asking that got me banned.

I think the reason behind the sbsl for the whole of aus and the two airpots must be because you can get Aus on a disk with a free airport . It would be a bit rough charging five licences for one disk i.e. four regions and an airport. Ymav and Ysch have been subjects of free give aways as you know.

Well fellas, it looks like the man himself has had a change of heart. Check this out http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/index.php
