	Thinking about "pricy" MSFS add-ons, just a random Google search on "Boeing FMS" as #1 returns this: Boeing B767 FMS CBT "It demonstrates the FMS operation on a fixed route between Houston and Dallas. This product covers the FMS only." $169.95 In MSFS English: it's just an animated FMS preview for 170 bucks. What a bargain!

	I wouldn't call that nice selection "an addon", it's quite a collection. As for $228,23, well what we can get for the $228,23 these days? � One copy of the questionable FMS CBT I've mentioned above? 4 tanks of gas? �

One copy of the questionable FMS CBT I've mentioned above? 4 tanks of gas? You're right. It's quite a collection. And as much as I would love to have it, I could not possible justify $132 US to get it. That's more than twice as much as the FSX cost to begin with, not to mention the hardware upgrade that came along with it. I love your products, but I think in this case it has priced itself out of my wallet.

Flight simming can become an expensive hobby as I have discovered over the years, adding up my hundreds of dollars in add ons, I most like ly could have got a gaming lap top. The satisfaction you get is worth it. I just hate the fact that once you have all the add ons you have to totally start over including new computer for FSX, which is ridiculous!
