  • interesting marketing method

    hi guys spotting this advert....



    ok at first glance it looks like they are selling XTR for 79.99

    however...

    a closer read of the advert shows a different story... its the old version (5.03) which you cant update. I assume this means it comes with the old blue dongle. If you want upates from here you have to upgrade to the slim stick!

    so it looks like they have got stuck with a bunch of 5.03 dongles which they are trying to get shot of...

    oh and while im here... anybody remember this video from nuremburg?

          And you lot fly 3d????? Time to get your eyes checked.

          It clearly says FROM £79.99...not exactly small print.

          I take it you only see what you want to see???

          Must be the ad from the BMFA news.

            Thats a very misleading advert it goes on about upgrades and the amount of models then in the smallest of print says only v5.04 so the £79.99 version aint worth a *ank
            A very poor effort to push xtr at the same price as phoenix yet you get so much less and no upgrade options at all
            If i worked for the company who produce reflex then i think id start looking for a new job

                  So let me get this right

                  Century drop the price of an older version of a substandard Simulator that you cant upgrade to compete with a vastly superior simulator which updates regularly for free and offers outstanding customer backup...


                  As usual Century are pi$$ing into the wind with this one


                  While i am on the subject,what do Century Uk offer thats actually any good? i cant think of anything off the top of my head

                          I thought you might, I know you are a discerning helicopter buyer


                          I've yet to see anything from Century that is any good, Swift nearly sucked me in but I soon learned what a pile of poo it really was
