I agree with just about all of you. I was into the flight community way back during FS2000. My wife used to call it the other woman in my life. Well, I got rid of her & now jumped back in with the newest FSX. While the community has changed a lot, it's still one of the best group of people I have ever been associated with. The payware is a little more expensive than it used to be but so is everything else. It it truely more realistic & more fun to fly. I find myself spending more & more time tweaking & flying than ever before & can't wait to check out the newest files each day. This is the only hobby that I know of that you can buy an inexpesive base game & in two weeks of downloading free stuff, it doesn't even look like the same thing at all. All I can say is keep up the great work & us old guys will keep haveing more fun. Also, I want to thank all of you that spend so many hours of your time to keep improving an already great hobby.
