Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 4:56 pmThats quite a general question you have asked there... what period of time does this cover? Per annum? Since you purchased your latest version of the simulator? Including or not including the price of the original software? Including hardware or only software?
Please ammend your poll with a more detailed question line.

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 5:36 pmSpent $100.00 as I was posting this reply. To much good stuff for FS9, need to get more into FSX, but can't quite drag myself to do it .
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 5:49 pmI think the better question might be:
"How much have you spent on your present flightsim installation?"
In which case, Ian's answer is pretty close to the mark.

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 6:00 pmI'm pretty sure its going to be $100+ for everyone in that case.
Last year I spent about $900 on mine, excluding hardware.

I spend my money on... well I don't spend it just sits in my bank. In other words I'm good at saving. Not so good at spending.
Anyway I use flightsim because I love aviation and I want to be a pilot. It isn't really a hobby for me.

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 7:18 pmToo much!
It would probably be in the region of around $300 in the past year.

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 7:44 pmas my computer has just unexpectedly died it will probably be some time before I can answer that question

Oh no! does that mean your adventure/storey temporarily/permanently ends in Africa! I woud be lost without my computer (luckily I have 3 - although only one runs FS 9 how I want it)
I have slowed my purchases right down - I had a splurge when I got my new computer with heaps of add ons but have only bought two or three add ons in the last 6 months - probably the only purchases in the next 6 months will be anything that Robin brings out and maybe one a/c.
Having great fun with freeware at the moment anyway - VOZ (finally got it loaded), AFG King Air, Carters Mustang etc etc
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 9:14 amI will try to bang together some more of the story while off air. Once I get over the withdrawal symptoms/depression/drinking/hangovers etc.
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 9:15 amIts a fine line whether I spend more on virtual a/c or real a/c ...............
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 1:19 pmwell i have just spent 10 euros on the pss airbus pro package, no i don't have a puter, will have to give a report once i am set up again!! but at 10 euros i just couldn't go past it!!
