miloguy Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 hi guys, have you spent money on planes then not used them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLonger Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, but not many. I think I own only one plane which I wish I could have gotten a refund for and which was a total waste of money for me. All others I used at least a few times. The last three years or so I only buy planes after carefully checking them out (as far as possible) and then I stick to that one plane for months and months.

MarkH Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 hi guys, have you spent money on planes then not used them?? Yes, tons. Mostly I use a plane for a video feature and then never fly it again. For actual flying, I've mostly used the Realair Scout for five years. I've recently invested in the Aerosoft Twin Otter so will likely fly that a fair bit.

lthendrix Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Of course I went through a ww2 warbird phase for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well, I have used all aircraft I bought, some more, some less. Now I can say some were worth the investment some were not (to me). But you ll never know before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes chaps I must admit I have sixty planes and fourteen helicoptors in my fleet but I only have fourteen installed that I choose from to fly around in and some of these I haven't used in a while. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 HaHa!! I also have a few planes I don't use as much as I should. I use FSPassengers, as I move up the pilot ranks I try to buy planes (in game) I am qualified for and have one at all of my FTX Airports, that way it gives me a reason to fly my entire fleet. I only use GA planes (mostly for bush flying) so some of my fleet are hanger queens for a while I guess Happy flights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwolf Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I will take the planes you guys are not using seriously...lol I did buy some Carenado planes - only one I use the most tend to be 337 and King Air 200 but I dunno they all are just eye candy by these guys. Just not buying Carenado/Alabeo stuff (unless it is on insane sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 hi guys, have you spent money on planes then not used them?? Oh yeah, plenty LOL. Not just planes though. Scenery too. Buy it, visit it once, and never go there again. That's why I settled on ORBX products, you can't not fly in it LOL. Oh except for Central Rockies, I STILL haven't had a real good look round there yet. I think I must have at least 12 planes that I installed, looked at, and uninstalled emediately. Plus several that are still installed, and I never use. I've even bought planes that friends have, just so I can see them in what they fly on multi player. It's all part of it I guess.

Mac_Maddog88 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 One in particular for me, the Justflight Connie. I love the Connie, it's a legendary aircraft, but the texturework is just old. It's not bad, but is just old. I also still haven't learned to navigate by VOR. To be fair, it's an older addon and still does everything you'd expect it to do. I'd like to try retexturing the interior some time, it'd be very worthwhile because as I said, a legend like the Connie only comes around once in awhile!

Patrick Cox Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have a few that I no longer fly. All are for FS9 and I no longer have FS9 on my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandy Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have brought a few and never used, both download and boxed versions. I would install them and decide I didn't like them and remove and never use again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickel Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Two or three. I haven't made time yet to settle into the A2A Stratocruiser. I recently got the Anson, which will get time in due course. Only had one flight in the Metro III and A/F F4U so far. They'll get more. And the other one, slightly inexplicably, is the Milviz 737 which I'd pre-ordered! Can't think of any others. My excuse is that I have an 18 month old rug rat who points at the monitor and goes 'Oh. Plane.' and then wants to 'help'. But do you think this stops me queuing up a shopping list? AN-2, FSL A320 when it's out, PMDG DC-6 ditto, a King Air of some sort, QW73CL, and, and, and... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonClout Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The only aircraft I've bought and haven't used is the Vulcan. Not because it's a bad model but because it's a very complex aircraft to get going, one day I'll sit down and have a look! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGunard Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I don't buy that many planes, but one I bought and just haven't got around to getting to grips with is the Captain Sim C130 . . . but one day. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Pugwash Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have many purchases I sometimes regret, but every now and then I return to one of them and find it to be quite good and it was me not giving it enough time & attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Oh yeah. Made the mistake of buying some planes from a chinese adding machine. Flew them very little, uninstalled them and never looked back. It happens. I have a large fleet, and the bird can depend on the mood. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturi Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have a few Carenado that fly pretty much like default FSX but I got wise early, and now I only own PMDG and A2A and Real Air. Seriously its impossible to fly anything else...except of course the twotter No more planes for me would much rather burn cash on good scenery that I know will get used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmatron Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have a few Carenado that fly pretty much like default FSX but I got wise early..... Agreed, though some of their later GA offerings like the Baron were nice they're still way off the Duke. For me I have a whole lot of planes I don't fly that I own, pretty much every one of Carenados GA planes and a lot of JustFlights planes too. Probably easier to say out of the 40 or so addon planes I own the only ones I have installed are from A2A, RealAir, Aerosofts Catalina and Twin Otter Extended.

Medtner Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have a bunch of Carenado-planes that I never use anymore - after I discovered A2A my demands are very strict indeed. The Twin Otter Extended and the Flight1 Super King Air are two planes that are almost on par with A2A. In time I might get a PMDG-plane, but never again shall I get any more eye-candy planes. I want realism and proper systems managing. (And superb succulent sound, as A2A are famous for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briansommers Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 oh man, where do I start. PMDG B1900C/D - replaced with Carenado B1900D a lot of Carenado's older stuff. I have tons of them. I think the worst as far as money down the drain is PMDG 737NGX 6-900 and the 777 - love these planes but just can't make myself hit the books and study enough to fly them. I'm just more of a turboprop/GA guy. I don't fly the Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended - to much fuss for start up etc and I can't make myself use the cheats, If I don't do it 100% realistically I don't do it at all. Majestic Dash 8 - to complicated. I'm trying to focus on just a few birds anyway right now, its more realistic. I think the funniest thing about myself is that I tend to purchase planes based on a commercial viewpoint. How fast does it travel, how many passengers can I haul, could I use it for charter work, how? what role would it play? etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I don't fly the Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended - to much fuss for start up etc and I can't make myself use the cheats, If I don't do it 100% realistically I don't do it at all. Starting the Twin Otter is easy - masters on, fuel pump, starter, fuel. Then the other engine. It doesn't get much easier than that! I don't think you're expected to go through all the runup checks every flight. (And let's face it, there's little point in doing them at all because nothing ever fails.)

banjoman1960 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 also i have a few payware planes and helis i want use,but i can´t use them for onlineflying.........because they flood the servers,and i am very disapointed about that,and more dispointed when the manufactor did not fix that,so they lost a custumer so now i check before i buy,if it not work ,bo buy.........

Mark Abdey Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Lots!... I can't even remember what I own. I've lost my A2A Cub... I have no idea where I bought it and I don't have a back-up not that I'm sure it works in P3D [?] Scenery only from now on, as I do use that... well, most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev D Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Where do I start......! Was an avid FS9 user for years and did not "cross over" to FSX until recently when I discovered Orbx! Now I have the equivalent of the Tucson Davis-Monthan aircraft park sitting on my other PC! I would hate to look closely at what I have spent on FS9 stuff over the years.
