IT's been around for some time, but it's always nice to see it's still alive!

I would go broke if I had to mail a post card for ever freeware plane in my FS hanger. Nevertheless, a good idea.

This wasn't unusual in the days of FS98. The ones I've seen were FS utilities & not aircraft or scenery. Makes a nice change & I'm glad to see that at least some developers are happy with a postcard as a reward for their efforts. I wonder how many people actually bother to send one? ::)

why don't more software providers make up pay with a postcard?  that would be so much easier than getting a job and working to buy it!

Well, a few postcards won't break the bank. Last time I was on holiday in Manhattan I bought 20 for $1, cheaper than taking photos. The postage might cost a bit depending where you have to send them to.

You wouldn't have to give your address unless you were the creator of the addon.
