Warm up the credit card then.....

Only a Lite version of Faleolo?

I knew a person called 'Fale' we just called him Fella ... Samoan as he was , was a laugh and a half till he hit the fire water , that boy really went off the tracks.

Yes that isn't so cool. How disappointing.

Very. It's the main hub for Western Samoa. Looks to me like they are just focusing on American Samoa which makes me less likely to bother buying this one. I'll stick to Lawries Faleolo

Lots of cool details in there, I'm a sucker for churches, and the wreck is a nice touch. No Samoans though? I would have thought a lot less Europeans, and a lot more Polynesians.

They all moved here , have a great mate Lance , was a workmate when engineering , his Great Grandfather was one off the kingdom Chiefs, I don't really know the history but Lance was given this book in a wooden box and it was seriously damaged .. hells it was dated about 120 years , it was simple I knew someone back then who repaired such items , the book was repaired ... I'll contact tomorrow ... last time he stopped here was because his son was hooked into FS , but that's going six/seven years back.

They all moved to Auckland

I guess this is just another sign of ORBX pandering to the US market.....they wouldn't even know where Apia was or indeed that there is even an Eastern Samoa.
Pago does not even have an ATC service!

Whats Apia? can I eat it?

No, actually its just two Australian based simmers working out of their kitchens making scenery in a part of the world they love dearly, while treading the fine line of data availability and cost, nothing to do with pandering or Orbx really (you know Orbx is just a publisher right?), if I was to pander to the US market then I would quit making stuff in the pacific and just go make something in California like the rest of the developers are doing these days, but I just cant do that... it doesn't interest me one iota, I'm sure Toprob knows what I mean here

And if I was moneycrazy I would split it up into individual parts and dripfeed you airports one at a time, ca-ching ca-ching, but again, No.


Pago actually has a ATC tower now btw, not sure if its functioning but theres a shot of it on the net

Hmm, you've just given me an idea....

By the way, my bank sends me emails whenever a deposit goes into the Godzone account, and I've set up Outlook to play a little toon when the emails arrive... I can tell ya, it's a long time between ditties.

Kitchen, eh? Luxury! I develop scenery on an old etch-a-sketch in a cardboard box under a bridge...

Haha it feels like that sometimes, I'm told sausage and bacon fat is not great for PCs, but its still cranking along
