    I have purchased NZMS - too good to miss. I noticed on Adambanks post that the special instructions for installing are in "the archive". Archive? not sure what that is, can somebody help me with where to find it. Thanks.

    Well as it turns out, Max is not completely out of the woods yet, the poor bugger has developed a hematoma - yep you know where, and is not well. It is about the size of a   tennis ball. Vet says not to worry, with the meds and cold compresses it will go away, we are in day seven now and it's a bit smaller but we have a fair way to go, my wife and I, take it in turns to apply a cold (from the frig) washer on it several times a day - and this is not fun. I try to get my wife to do it most of the time, she is more experienced at this than me 😂😂😂 Shouldn't joke about this, the poor boy is in a lot of pain.  I'm just hoping it will be done and dusted real soon for Max and me. 

    Okay you can stop laughing now.

    You seem not to have sons. They can cost you nights as well, for the same reason but more quiet.

    😂Yep I'm sorry to say, Max has lost his nuts, no more puppies - thank God! He is still having a bit of a frantic time, as we have two ladies in season, but that won't be for much longer as they are both scheduled for surgery. Interesting point I didn't know, he can still get them pregnant up to two weeks after his surgery, we are having to keep them separated. Second part is he is driving me insane with his constant wailing. Geez I just can't wait until they are done and I can get a decent nights sleep. 🙄

    Haven't been around much of late guys - health issues, hope to be back soon

    Okay guys, here's the thing, I went on the MS market price and should have checked the BB website, but as it was a fresh release, I wasn't expecting it to be discounted, particularly by MS. Sure all stores are entitled to "markup" to cover costs and I have recognised and accepted this in the past, but this time I thought it really excessive by Orbx. So I apologise to Orbx, I incorrectly compared. So now I have that sorted out, those of you with your **@@/ remarks can go and crawl back under your rocks.

    THANK YOU B12 for your support, maybe this is why Orbx are losing their supporters in droves.

    I think he's saying caveat emptor. I have found that on several occasions the price has been deeply discounted on the MS shop compared to Orbx/other resellers. Presumably this is because of the bigger comsumer base that MS has resulting in more sales for devs or some sort of promo deal. 

     

    You cannot expect Orbx to refund because the price is cheaper elsewhere. Almost no retail store will do that (although some claim to as a special promo).

     

    So the lesson is check the prices for a product before you buy.

     

    Sorry Don, I think that you will have to cop this one.

     

    Actually there are a LOT of stores that price match Brian

    The other day I bought some garden items from my local Mitre 10. Happened to be in Bunnings a couple of days later and sure enough, I could have saved about 30% if I had bought from Bunnings. But what I had bought was fair products at a fair price. I certainly didn't think I could ask Mitre 10 to refund the difference. 

     

    Just your opinion John.

    It doesn't work that way. It is quite normal that when developers sell in their own store, it will be a bit cheaper than in all the other places, since those will normally ask for a chunk of the sale price. Hence the higher total price in places like the Orbx store.

    If you wanted best price, you should have bought directly from BB, but you won't have the convenience of the Orbx scenery manager.

     

     Yes I understand what you are saying, and I also understand that Orbx and other stores require a markup, but AU$6.90 is a bit over the top. I have purchased BB scenery from Orbx in the past and never experienced a big markup like this, so hopefully I will get a response from Nick offering a reasonable explanation or alternative a credit, if not I guess I will just have to purchase direct in future and they will lose my business. I prefer to purchase scenery through Orbx where I can, but not if it's going to cost me that much extra.

    Purchased EGSP Sibson Aerodrome 30/07/23 and Orbx charged me AU$26.35, then I noticed that BB and the Market place are selling it for AU$19.45. Could I please get a refund for the difference Nick, or credit me the full amount and I'll purchase it through the Market Place. Thanks.

    great shots, I'm always intrigued by the look of this plane....

     

    Thanks Wayne, I like it, it's easy to fly and very quick. Boy has Canberra changed. A long time since I visited - many years ago, and it was pretty much like a shed. 😀
