July Jolt

The official REAL NZ support forum

Postby toprob » Mon Jul 19, 2010 10:57 pm

Last July was the kind of month which I would never want to repeat -- it started out bad, with open-heart surgery, and didn't get much better as the month went on -- within a couple of weeks I'd twice needed to be cardioverted, which basically just means a jolt of electricity to get my heart working in proper rhythm. The month ended with me getting to keep a very nifty device, a defibrillator, implanted in my chest. If my heart plays up, it is programmed to zap me back -- good to have, but better to never need it...

I wanted to celebrate a whole year without a jolt, hence the sale. Who knows, if I sell enough scenery I'll take the family out for dinner!

Great to hear Rob,
It's excellent news you have made a excellent recovery and your back up and working smile.gif
Hope you get out to a nice Italian restaurant or whatever your taste is!

Much appreciated:)
Actually the first 10 sales go towards something a lot more important, but less fun -- paying bills...

I have had two Bypass operations and am awaiting my third defribulator replacement. Burying myself in FS9 and your wonderful sceneries really helps my health. Thanks so much for your work.

Me to. I already have all the Godzone and RealNZ scenery. What's next Robin? Are you planning any new scenery releases this year?

Good question...
As you may be aware I've had to 'reinvent' Godzone Virtual Flight, after having to take a lot of time off due to illness. I've started to put together a plan, mainly based on developing for VLC. I've put a VLC slideshow on my site entrance, which links to the 'plan'. Just let the slideshow run ('Refresh' if it plays the old Across the Strait slideshow still.) When you've seen the slideshow, just click on it to enter the VLC detail page on my site.

If I might say, the slideshow is too fast for me to read the captions and also study the pictures. Had to watch it a few times to satisfy myself smile.gif Do others think the same?

Otherwise looks great! smile.gif

Alse not sure if you got my email but, I bought the standalone Tauranga scenery, but there's no stand alone Rotorua scenery. Any thoughts on making Rotorua available for individual purchase as well?

Pretty much how it's meant to be -- if it runs too slow, nobody would notice that's it's a slideshow. First time around gets your interest, second time you can get a bit more info, third time hooked...

I don't think I'll do that until I update the tarmac markings.

Considering they'll be released a couple of years apart, maybe you won't need to choose.

I would start at the 'Base Plate' , VLC ..... All other areas come photo then have a place to go home , The 'Vector Land Class' is so impressive current , at times , was hard to compare whether from a distance it was photo , or i simply got a little lost , but taken what you no know, your neck of the woods , the landmarks appear , it is that good !

Following a query through my website, I thought I'd make it clear that the FSX Collection/Supercity 'Better together' discount still applies during the sale, so the total price for the download version is $107.36....

To get this price just have both in your shopping cart, and the 'better together' discount will appear at Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information within the Store.
