How to rip off the Aussies at the FlightSimStore

It could also be titled How to help the fine people at the FlightSimStore.

But who would click on that one. :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short version - Go to the FlightSimStore Specials section and buy the Orbx/FTX DVD specials.

LONG VERSION

OK. So here's the deal - I wanted to buy some software, but it wasn't on sale.

But did you notice that line at the bottom of the picture?

Why in the name of Heck would someone want to buy a DVD, and have it shipped all the way from Australia ???

I mean, it's got to be expensive even though it'll only weighs a few ounces???



I had seen the "boxed edition" on sale a month or two ago & wanted to check it out.

I bet that it was probably still on sale too. "Boxed edition", who cares. :(



Now I don't know if this line was there before, but it says that if you buy it, you could download it too. :think:

HMMMmmmm

Just how much is shipping from Australia anyway? :think: :think: :think:

Long story short, it totaled (scenery AND shipping) to just $16.77 USD. :dance: :dance: :dance:

That'll change according to money fluctuations, but that's what I just paid.



The Rest of the Story

After you pay for the "Boxed edition"/DVD, you'll get three emails.

The "Your payment", the "order received", and the "registration details" emails.

After your "order received" email arrives, go to the FlightSimStore and you'll see this. Don't forget to click on Add to cart! :D

NOW you can "buy" the scenery for.... You guessed it! $0.00!



From here on, you'll "buy" the scenery just as you would any other software (clicking on credit card and all), except that the total stays $0.00.

I only did a spot check, but it looks like all of the Orbx/FTX boxed sets/DVDs in their Specials section are buy & download also.

You had best take advantage while they still have DVDs that they want to get rid of. :D

Good luck shopping. :D
