Alot of satisfied customers.

Anything is worth £2.99 mate but I doubt that is. :roll:

Think I will take the plunge, what the hell it's only £2.99.
I'd spend that much on a fatty burger, and God knows after the stick today, the ebay purchase is healthier.

Could be dubious... but at the thought of risking £3 or spending £41 on FS-GS, who knows?

It's sort of a monopoly at the moment though. Seeing as he worked at Microsoft, no one else will have access to the tools and info he has.

If it's the real deal... why would you sell a single copy of it on eBay and not have it continuously printed and sold? :think:

I wouldn't bother with this folks. Bit the bullet and bought it earlier, thought its £2.99 and a fantastically smooth running copy of FS, or £2.99 and a lesson learnt. Unfortunately this falls into the latter category.
The vast majority of things in the .pdf you recieve concern issues that I'm sure people on here already know about. How to tweak your fs9.cfg (in lesser detail than you often find on the net), where to get the best freeware/payware sceneries, meshes, ground textures, autogen, low detail clouds etc. Everything on the list I've heard of before so I assume most on hear will have as well. (I think by definition if you post here you won't have any use of this document, it really is aimed at the FS9 newbie). A section also details the in-game settings, again in much less detail than you often find by lurking on forums and picking peoples brains about their particular setup. Another part talks about disabling virus scanners, defragging your hard drive, checking for the latest graphics card drivers; you get the idea. Don't get me wrong, the document is very professionally produced and were I new to FS9 and hadn't heard of wonderous repositories of FS knowledge like CBFSIM I would probably consider it £2.99 well spent.
I would however advise you all to save your £2.99's for the time being, as I doubt anyone on here will benefit from it.
