Starseed Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I was sent this add by Orbx stating Burbank is the first FREE airport for MSFS 2020, However when I try to download it Orbx requires $24.00 WHY is that ???? And how does one get the the free download as advertised?? What did I miss ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 This is, admittedly confusing. Read the entire announcement. What is free is not KBUR. It is Fairways Airport OG20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It is actually a matter of reading When you read fast the "freeware" floods the soul with emotion and you easily miss the AND in between Hollywood Burbank airport AND Orbx's first freeware for Microsoft Flight Simulator I think it should read Hollywood Burbank airport and OG20 Orbx's first freeware for Microsoft Flight Simulator Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starseed Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 This is very a deceptive tactic and NOT honest at all. Really the word "and" . That needs to be changed or it will be interpreted as "false advertising " NO THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi Starseed I'm sure they'll take note of the comment and will keep it in mind for future advertising I really don't think their intention was to be deceptive I believe is it just a matter of redaction. On the other hand, Burbank is an amazing product which you won't regret buying if you make up your mind in the end Cheers and have a nice evening Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbx is literally offering a FREE airport to all of their user base, and because you failed to take the time to read the email completely, you are accusing Orbx of being deceptive. It is amazing the audacity of some people that use the Internet in these days. I hope you treat your friends and family better when they offer you a gift. Cheers, and have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian St Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I've just read the same email and it seemed pretty clear to me. Yes, you might have misread and momentarily got caught up in the prospect of a free Burbank Airport, but I don't see the need to have a rant about it and it certainly isn't deceptive or dishonest. If you actually stop and think about it for a moment, did you really believe Orbx is going to provide a high quality, highly detailed addon that is less than a year old as freeware? I think us P3D users that have recently paid good money for it would have something to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
