Then you probably have an illegal or very old copy of MSFS. I checked. The actual price was 39 euro. Then how can you legally install and run your flight sim? The owner of the computer has loaned it to me for my use, since I cannot afford a computer of my own. France is a signatory to the Berne Convention of 1986 regarding intellectual property law. So? Most of us (actually, I'd estimate 99.9% of us here) have worked and saved and made choices in order to fly. Most of you have not been wiped out and deprived of employment by economic changes, either. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Most of you have not been wiped out and deprived of employment by economic changes, either. Let's see... Company #2 - no longer exists Company #3 - went bankrupt Company #4 - very little exists and they changed the business and most of us were forced to leave Company #5 - what a laugh (Digital Equipment) Company #6 - hid in grad school for 3 years because there were no jobs Company #7 - Contract only lasted 18 months Company #8 - local office pretty much shut down, I was offered St. Louis, but I decided I'd rather be unemployed in Colorado than in St. Louis. Company #9 - State of Colorado job - major cutbacks, and I was a newbie Company #10 - their contract ended, they didn't get renewed, we're all looking for new work Company #11 - soon, I hope. I'm actively looking. Yes, I've been deprived of employment far too many times...I don't even worry about it anymore. |

Most of you have not been wiped out and deprived of employment by economic changes, either. If I was economically deprived (and that's an excuse used by people who expect someone to take care of them), I'd do something about it instead of sitting around trolling on the internet and playing aviation sims. There are unlimited options to be a success if you'll try: Move somewhere conditions are better. Get training in a different field than the one that isn't working as well as you'd hoped. Figure out a way to do something better, faster, or cheaper and be an entrepreneur. Working harder is always an option. Regardless of the economy, people still need the necessities of life. Find a job that helps provide those things. Then take a second job. Then take a third job. KB |
