Need to check out Freeware more often

[Stormtrooper 7]

Spent hundreds of dollars on FSX addons and aircraft only to fly any one aircraft around for a couple of circuits and never touch it again.

Most often it's not the developers fault just bad choice of aircraft type.

 

Such a waste.

[Don t moderate me this way 882]

It's called addiction:

 

You want to keep up the excitement, buy addons, but the simulation experience has already started to repeat itself.

 

So you start increasing the doses, buy even more addons, but the innvoations go hand in hand with the ever repeating standard stuff.

 

(...)

• To find out more about addiction, google "drugs".   :rolleyes:
• To get cured ... get yourself a life.  
• To not get cured ... just do what I have been doing - just don't care about your addiction and keep watching those preview threads and release announcements closely!!!   :lol:

Been there, done that, got the credit card receipts to prove it!  I get excited when developers announce a new aircraft, but I have learned to temper my enthusiasm until I can decide if it is an aircraft that actually suits my type of sim flying.

My saving grace is my beautiful better half... "Honey did you buy some flightsim addons last month?"

 

Lol

 

If I get those words I know I need to watch how much I'm spending.

Yes I know what you mean.  About a third of my aircraft additions have been sent to the bit bucket.  Lately, I have been somewhat more selective and am having a better 'keep' ratio.

 

Happy Flying!

Some add ons do that to me.. after you buy them, you're like was that really worth it?

The addiction is strong though.. I owned FSX for years and didn't get hooked.. Then last August I got the Accusim B-17 add on (already owned the b-17 for year but only flew a couple times).. From there it was a downward spiral!
