Mis-Leading titles / Advertising Flight Simming

Postby Jetranger » Fri Mar 09, 2012 1:26 am

Hummm ?? This is what I'm referring to as Mis-Leading Titles & Advertising on Flight Simming products on some Web Sites, usually posted by someone who knows nothing at all about the products their posting ! I seen this product Advertised and listed for like $43.95 us dollars, I read the Title twice and the description 3 times just to be sure. No where does it mention anywhere in the Ad, what Simulator this is for "No-Where" ! If I hadn't had this exact Add On' years ago with my FS/2002 Flight Simulator, I'd thought it might work with FSX Flight Simulator. So, "IF" I was a new comer just getting into this Hobby, or say maybe I was a Foreigner and my English not all that great and took to "Assuming" and Trusting those who listed the products to hopefully steer me in the right Direction, I would of Ordered this Flight Sim Enhancer Product.

It also says "Exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002" on the bottom right corner of the package photo, but yah, other than that, and the review, no real effort was made. Goes to show, buyer beware on sites like Ebay and Amazon.... ::)

That is probably the Retail Boxed version of LAGO FSSE [Flight Sim Scenery Enhancer] for FS 2002, (and LAGO FSE [Flight Sim Enhancer]for FS 2004), both of which I purchased in downloadable form for my FS 2002 and FS 2004 many years ago...and still use today, and one of the main reasons why I still use my FS 2004!

Those programs are for enhancing your FS2002/FS2004 scenery with the drag-and-drop objects (people, etc,) that you see in my Screen shots*!

A wonderful addition for anyone who is still using FS 2002!
LAGO FSSE is for FS 2002.
LAGO FSE is for FS 2004**.

LAGO never did produce a version for FSX.

Paul....LAGO FSSE + FSE.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Well, i have tried to upload img to your server. Every time i do it, i get a msg, its too big! Then i need to go on photoshop or something like that, to reduce the picture. I'm not an eagle to do such things, nor do i think some others are. Therefor photoshop is an easy way.

I try to follow rules, but its not always the easiest way.  ;)
