  2. Hi everyone,so the story so far (not really uplifting but some of it is)

     

    So about a two years ago I was fed up with not having a hobby apart from trying to be a good Dad,went into Eb Games and there was FSX Gold edition so I thought stuff it and gave it a go.Now I am completely hooked.To be honest I was un happy with the look of FSX and looked into Google AUS FSX and up came Orbx, completely blown away by the pictures I made the purchase and have not looked back since.I am a loyalty kind of guy and will only purchase Orbx products basically because I am sure Orbx started in Aus and this developer has always had a good grounding on manners morals and support.I did a little reviewing with ASN until shortly after the love of my life was taken from my son and I and could not fulfill my commitments so the reviewing stopped.(I actually miss the reviewing).

     

    Real Name:Richard Lincoln      User name SPOK why? well because I thought Spok was the logical answer hahaha

     

    My Occupation: Civil Construction Foreman,or Health and Safety Manager for NSW region.

     

    My Son: Lachlan  Jamesberry Lincoln who is GOD in my eyes and the drive in my life.

     

    Below are some shots of my son with his mum before she passed

    And one shot of my wife 2 Months before she passed at a civil awards ceremony which I won(she was so proud of me and I miss her)anyway I hold onto this site as a way for me to have a laugh,enjoy my hobby I am up sometimes all night looking at the screens,reading the posts.I actually really enjoy the input everyone contributes,and when I was at my lowest point and had no where to turn to cheer me up I went onto the forum posted a thank you and mentioned my struggle and I had the most encouraging support I have ever received.The post that cemented my opinion of Orbx came with JV giving me a chin up and what a bloody good bloke to take the time to respond,I was a little taken.So yeah ORBX all the way!!!!!!
