Flight Sim Deal of the Day discussion topic

SOH-CM-2023
This week I discovered www.flightsimdealoftheday.com, which offers FS downloads at a steep discount for one day only. (It's run by PC Aviator.) The last couple of days I picked up MegaScenery Oahu and Vegas for $5 each. Thought it'd be good to have one topic where we could discuss the deal of the day, rather than seeing new ones pop up daily, since the deal changes very 24 hours!

Today's deal is the Wilco A400M for half-price. Probably not going to bite on that one, as I have the CS C130, and I don't think the A400M is an FSX SDK plane.
 
Personally I'd rather just see a topic pop up with individual sales, but that is just me.

I also got the Vegas deal and am hoping for the nemeth EC135 at one point since the CH53 was on sale the other day and the eurocopter is one I don't have, gotta love sales!

Its a great aircraft the EC135 too I personally love it!
 
I grabbed the Wilco A400M today, but then, when I started to download it, I finally saw, all the way near the bottom of the page... This aircraft will not work with 64bit systems. It will only work on 32bit systems.

But I just upgraded to 64bit!!! :isadizzy: :pop4:

Oh well, $12.48 out the window. It will sit in the storage depot until I decide to fire up my old puter, I guess.
 
Some wilco airplanes states that they are not 64 bits compliant, but they work in it! If i was you, i would give a try .... who knows??? :engel016:
In wilco site, they states that this aircraft in win7 64 bits is in "test in progress". So ............
 
To do so would seem to me like a great free ad for the retailer...not really what I come here for.
 
I also would like to get the plane but stopped short when I saw the 64bit problem. Let me know if it works. I will miss this time but they might have it again some time.
 
I found that when the weekend comes around you get another chance to purchase the prior week sale items. I purchased the megascenery earth sections for the grand canyon on a sunday five days after the daily sale.

I understand your concerns, Robert.

I have to say though, it is part of why I come here to SOH everyday.
To see what the new releases are for the day, either freeware or payware, or what great deals are to be had.

Take for example Bill's Epic today at 50% off.
With my limited budget for the moment, that makes it something I have wanted and is on my "Wish List", that I can afford to move to the "Own List" today.
And it will be handy come next years RTWR. :applause:

There is nothing wrong with free advertising in my personal opinion
believe me if people do not like it
there will be a few posts
i like to see whats coming, what deals are out there

While I don't have a specific job description as a staff member I like to think a big part of it is keeping members informed on what is coming out for there sim enjoyment, so threads on upcoming releases and specials while they may seem like advertising are a big part of this forum IMO.

One of the things that drew me to SOH was panther and his posts about upcoming releases, it became a routine for me to look for his posts.
 
Guys, Is this website legit...and designers here can verify this is an ok operation to buy from..?

Thanks,

Sky
 
They had Bill's Epic on there today and I bought it. I had contemplated getting it before and the original price wasnt bad, when I saw this I jumped on it.
 
just my personal thoughts about "free advertising"
isnt that what we want?
we love to know whats coming, whats on sale
the only time i have a problem is when
joe blow comes out with something and posts
and fred smith starts saying its not as good as ours
thats where i draw the line

Precisely. The whole point of advertising is to inform people about what's available, and where better to advertise FS related stuff than on a FS forum?!
 
Same here... Find the bargains, share the details on where and how much.

:ernae:

....almost sounds like women talking about what shopping mall is having a sale on shoes and purses, lol...
 
You guys are right...
I've been a bit worn out from the current real life job, and I'm afraid I was a bit cranky last night and allowed it to show in a 'quick draw' post :redface:
