April 30, 20215 yr Asobo states that their new microlight ac retails for $9.99. But in the UK the price is £13.74. This is applying the exchange rate in the wrong direction. If applied in the correct way the UK price should be £7.14. Or conversely, if the correct price is actually £13.74 then the equivalent US price in dollars should be $19.23. Hopefully this is an honest mistake rather than Asobo trying to rip off its UK customers
April 30, 20215 yr Good spot. The money's been weird since the beginning when it comes to exchange rates and differences in pricing based on location; Report it to Zendesk and hopefully it'll be fixed. . . https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

May 1, 20215 yr Paid £8.39 for it yesterday in the UK. But yeah, sometimes add-on prices are wacky, although I tend to find it balances out overall, sometimes it's in your favour, sometimes not. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

May 1, 20215 yr 2 hours ago, johnbow72 said: I bought the Aerolite 103 , Aero-Works Inc. by Nemeth Designs from the MS Store . That is the third party ultralight made by Nemeth that has been on the store for a while. It is a very nice looking aircraft but has some odd quirks like limited aileron authority (use rudder as well to turn) and the throttle and slip ball are backwards. Unfortunately the devs are slow to fix things and do not respond personally to complaints or bug reports (which is kinda normal here but our US friends seem offended by it) but they do seem to get around to patching problems eventually . The new Asobo one is called Top Rudder 103 Solo and it does NOT appear under aircraft on the market, it shows up as a "bundle" ( go figure). Its $14.95 Australian for me which is about $US .
