Advertising is deal with by the The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 Remember FS2004 was advertised as being "as real at it gets" - was it? Gerry Howard

If FS2004 was "as real as PC flight-simming gets" there'd have been on need for addons or even FSX! It was just advertuising puffery which no reasonable person believes. Gerry Howard
August 14, 201213 yr "You make my point. If FS2004 was "as real as PC flight-simming gets" there'd have been on need for addons or even FSX!" But the blurb didn't say, "As real as it will get..". FS9 seemingly was 'as real as it (simming) gets' at the time that the ad came out. Present tense. Why I'm on here defending Microsoft I've no idea... :Confused:
