Ants Tecnam ? - brillant little aircraft. I actually thought this was one of the best single prop airplanes for fsx out there and of a high standard - and it's a very reasonable price (Aus $20). As well, Ant keeps tweaking it too.

I can see what you mean about plastic - but if you have seen the real thing - this comes pretty close - as for flying it, pretty darn good IMO. The only small criticism would be the female pax - she looks a bit wooden compared to say the female on board the Digital Aviation aircraft or Heidi in the A2A Cub

I regret buying things I don't or can't use.

 

737NGX, It was expensive, and it's a frame hog, I can't use it w/o turning off everything else, shame really because it's the best plane ever made. I'll un-regret it maybe when I can upgrade my machine like I wanted to a few months ago.

 

ORBX, most beautiful scenery, can fly in it w/o too much lag, but, I never fly in the West Coast of the US, so, I just never use it. Also, the system employed to load areas was always annoying.

By far it's the PMDG 737NGX!

 

Since I bought it I've suffered:

 

I have hemorrhoids from too much cockpit time and eye fatigue from staring at the 27" monitor I just had to have because of the virtual cockpit eye candy. I've been threatened with divorce because I'm always off somewhere hauling the trash (really in the basement where my favorite pastime has been relegated to). The only reason I haven't been served the papers is that my wife won't come near the flight deck -- I mean the basement. Finally, I've suffered the embarrassment of bankruptcy and credit default because I owe the electric company beaucoup bucks for all the -trons I've trashed.

 

WELL THAT'S IT FOR NOW -- I'M ON MY WAY TO THE LOCAL FSX ANONYMOUS MEETING -- MY THIRD ONE THIS WEEK.

 

Woe is me!!

 

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time (I'm coming off a pretty delicate upgrade to Win8, OK?!).

 

Interesting the 737NGX discussions- it's now the ONLY plane I have/fly. I actually regret getting the PMDG 747, ONLY because I didn't know PMDG years ago and went the wrong direction buying the NGX first. I especially regret then getting the FS2Crew version for the 747 thinking it would improve the experience, because it doesn't come CLOSE to the 737NGX model (and I'm having a hard time believing the 747 FO actually downgraded to a 737 captain career at his age!).

 

I, like a lot of you, just faint with fervor with the thought of PMDG releasing the T7 here shortly [hopefully]!

 

When I first bought the NGX, and found out it had bookoo pages of docs to read, I wondered what I got myself into. Then, I met that United Captain in that LAX bar and got a few hours to rattle his brain. I'm now hooked for life. I've bought a lot of crap since starting with FS95, but I just consider it a learning experience. Having a forum family like this one sure has educated me immensely so my impulse buying has dropped off greatly. As many will attest to, I first look into how well a developer responds to their customers and value that a lot in my decision, since in my Day Job I have to preach the virtues of "Total Cost of Ownership".

I see a trend in this forum topic.

 

People regret purchasing some fine products but for them they are either too complicated or have too big an impact on their system or they are disappointed they have given in to their base emotions.

Along this line of thinking I know I am the apparently gullible victim to promotional hype and I wonder what happened to that rational deep thinker and sceptic I once was?.

 

There are plenty of "games and planes" I regret buying. Games that read well in their promotions - and that have good forum responses to back them up from apparent genuine enthusiastic users - and then you buy the product and never use or play them because they are just too complex and your don't have the time or wherewithal to learn the program or systems - or your "interest" or enthusiasm for them was just a momentary hyped up virtual interest and not a real one.

 

People - turn off your marketing hype reception antenna's!! - pause that finger over the buy button and wait a few weeks for the "must have" feeling to wear off. If you are still keen or interested after a period of reflection and feedback response, then by all means press that button - you will probably feel so much better and actually use the purchased product and not be sorry - and you will save money too.

I think some of the products mentioned here were just crap. Complicated, poor performing crap.

A few years ago, when I was just starting out with more advanced planes, for some absurd reason I spent about $25 on "SEA Checklist X."

 

Still have no idea what I was thinking.

AFS design A380 and A350 and A320 17 euro multiplied by 3 = 51 EUR.

I had a pretty good system to avoid impulse purchases when we still bought our games from brick and mortar stores. If I saw something I really liked, I didn't buy it right then. I'd check out the box and look for reviews. If, the next time I was in the store, I still wanted the product, I'd buy it. This saved me from quite a few purchases.

 

But it didn't protect me from buying the occasional dog. A couple of these even went back to the store.

Definitely FOC Flight Operations Center.

 

No support at all, no proper documentation.

Aerosoft should be sued for still offering this online for a premium price while the program cannot even be run properly because the servers needed therefor are not operational any more.

 

First and only ever purchase that I didn't read into beforehand.

This is becomming a gold mine for developpers, a learning expirience to see how not to release or make software for us.

Aerosoft Airbus X

 

....just terribly bugged IMHO, with awful hand flying characteristics.

 

 

(Hoping the Extended version will restore my faith!)

ORBX NZ South. One of my friends moved house to NZ. After up and down the net for information and photos I wanted to fly there. Compared to the photos I have seen it is off. You can enjoy ORBX, as long as you don't compase it to the real world. Still enjoying PNW a lot.
