March 12, 201511 yr Might be an interest to those of us in the states who buy a lot of Sim Parts overseas and get turned off by the conversion. Now maybe the time to pick up that plug and play overhead you been eyeballing.

March 12, 201511 yr If the dollar continues to gain strength, it will be interesting to see if any of the distributors go back to using USD as the currency of choice. Remember when the Euro became much stronger, a number of distributors switched to the Euro. It will be nice to not have to pay through the nose for addons.
March 12, 201511 yr Moderator Swings and roundabouts. Nine months ago I was buying software from US-sourced companies as the £/$ exchange rate was so good. But now the Euro has weakened against the Pound so I'm switching to European sources. For many years the Euro was strong. Nothing lasts forever. Ray (Cheshire, England).

March 12, 201511 yr Any tips for me? (A poor sod from EURO-land. :() If you want to buy something big for your setup which comes from a US based manufacturer then buy NOW! I'm currently on the fence about buying a PFC yoke. I'm pretty sure prices will increase. It's a shame how they are destroying the Euro...

March 12, 201511 yr The USD is killing every other currency at the moment. Here in Canada the dollar has dropped from par to 79 cents in 6 months. Mark CYYZ
March 12, 201511 yr Exit the single currency? (sorry - you can tell im from the UK!!!!) Yes! Buy now,before it gets even worse! Instead, I buy from Australia. The question is, what are those poor Australian sods supposed to do?!? What happened to AVSIM

March 12, 201511 yr It's a shame how they are destroying the Euro... No... it's really not, the shame is that it ever got introduced in the first place.
March 12, 201511 yr Author The USD is killing every other currency at the moment. Here in Canada the dollar has dropped from par to 79 cents in 6 months. Holy Cow just noticed, might be time to look at some Flight Deck Solutions gear.
March 12, 201511 yr Instead, I buy from Australia. The question is, what are those poor Australian sods supposed to do?!? We wait for the online stores to have specials...I considered buying the PMDG 737NGX for P3D..even on special it's going to cost me $A92.00. Getting a bit cost prohibitive in that range.

March 12, 201511 yr I've been buying my downloadables from Australia for some time. I've gotten some really good deals. I'm going to start looking in Canada for hardware related stuff. Happy days are here again.
