Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 10:43 amAs the FSX versions were released over a long period, I dealt with updating each scenery individually. For instance, for Rotorua and Tauranga, it was assumed that everyone who owned the FS2004 version, and now used FSX (or both) would use the free downloadable update.
When I released Real NZ Wellington for FSX, I offered a half price replacement CD for a short time, but when a couple of months went by since the last order, I dropped this option to keep the Store nice and simple. Anyway, 'Across the Strait' was a much better, and popular, choice, for existing owners of Wellington or Marlborough.
But what about those who didn't take each update offer as it was available? This mainly applies to those who have since moved from FS2004 to FSX.
It also applies to those who want the ease of a specific FSX installer, rather than the admittedly inelegant updaters.
To help these folk, I've re-activated the half-price replacement CD offer for Wellington, and included the same offer for Rotorua/Tauranga. So, those who already owned all the FS2004 scenery could upgrade to full FSX CD versions for:
Real NZ Wellington $21.50;
Real NZ Rotorua/Tauranga $21.50;
'Southern Lakes Adventure' $21.50.
...which totals $64.50.
(Real NZ Marlborough already included both FS2004 and FSX versions, although there is a small update required for FSX SP2.)
Or, you could go for this option:
'Across the Strait' $32.50
Real NZ Rotorua/Tauranga $21.50
'Southern Lakes Adventure' $21.50
...which totals $75.50.
Just choose each individual product from the store, and select the appropriate option. Don't order the 'FSX Collection'!
Of course you can choose any part of this offer -- for instance, you may wish to take advantage of the Rotorua/Tauranga free update (which gives the same scenery in the end, albeit with some tricky install steps) but order a replacement CD for Wellington and take the half price offer on 'Southern Lakes Adventure', which would cost $43.00 in total.
