FSX-MS Regretful purchases for FSX

[altstiff 71]

Traffic X

 

Yup, complete garbage (no CTD's but the models are just wrong and the paints just BLEECH)

It wasn't a purchase, but Microsoft FSX SP2. Before I installed that, I had 3 crashes in 8 months, there were stars in the sky every night, and cockpit lighting was very nice. After installing it I get 3 crashes every 10 flights, the stars are gone, and I have to jump through hoops to see my instruments at dusk and dawn.

Abacus: A380/787... 'THE' worst addon Aircraft I have ever bought for FSX :Period:

 

Captain Sim: 757/767

 

Aerosoft AirbusX (First edition)

 

Iris F22, Looks great but is an awful aircraft for FSX!

 

Aerosoft: Mega Airport Heathrow

My personal only regretted purchase has to be the just flight comet jetliner. It looks nice from outside..... And then the good things end, I'm a VC man through and through and theirs just are a bit too cartoony!

The key to remember is: If money were meant to be held onto, they'd put handles on it!

UT2, the only AI traffic program that freezes my plane on approach giving me more time to prepare for landing, it had to go, trafficx worked just fine for me till i moved to mytraffic2010.

 

Please dont mention Abacus.

 

Rex weather engine, leaves you hanging in the sky. All of a sudden win speed dropped to zero and i was riding thin air at 40K in heavy iron.

Not even the beautiful looking rex texture clouds could stop that iron from the ground.

 

 

CLS stuff is good for what it is, simple addon a/c.

Traffic 360 upgrade, really where's the upgrade?

[HawkDsl 50]

Avanti P180-II by Abacus... before I knew any better.

[pete_auau 1,159]

ariane 737 was my only regrettable purchase

Wilco CRJ Next Generation was a huge letdown for me. All around poor design and the only addon that was worse than the default FSX version.

Some very interesting stuff coming up here, and its refreshing to read the antidote to the usual hallelujah chorus.

 

Ron Attwood - yes the Carenado collection compulsion :lol: I hear you!

There have been a few both CLS products I own the DC-10 and 747-200/300. I really missed having the 742 and the DC-10 was the only decent looking one for FS. The DC-10 wasn't terrible the742 is horrible.

 

I also purchased the Wilco ERJS the 175 and 190. I think they are probably pretty good the thing is I haven't flown it yet. I was planning on adding some ERJ flying lately but haven't at all. I recently purchased the PMDG MD-11 on sale thankfully have not regretted that one even though its an older add on. I have a few planned purchases coming up soon but I think those 3 the CLS and ERJ are the ones I wish I never made.

 

I have the cap sim 767 and C-130 which I do not fly much but I got them for a really low price on a big sale so it was worth it.

I hesitate to join this thread because I also fear that it will turn into a bunch of rants and I don't want to be party to that. So I'll tell a story with a happy ending. In the first year or two of Active Sky, I just hated it. I totally regretted that purchase, and absolutely despised having to go on to their customer support forums, and having to deal with them. But since it was really the only game in town, I stuck it out, and the good news is that this program has undergone an evolution, over several versions...it is now a well working program, and I'm a very satisfied customer, so no more regrets.

That comment made me laugh! Many times I feel like I'm the only one who hates something :lol:

AFS Design Airbus Industrie, very buggy and wasn't exactly what product texts promised & horrible support.

 

Abacus 787 & A380, bought them when I was new to FS and didn't know to avoid their airplane products, they do have some good programs though.

 

Wilco A400M, so buggy and all.

 

Ariane 737-800, (bought way before Ifly and PMDG 737NG were out), totally overpriced, bad support, annoying activation system.
