I like the Gamin 1000, Grumman Goose, and the SDK. Thus I'm going for Deluxe.

I believe it's a given that the majority of people who frequent the flight sim sites are going for the deluxe vers.

Home airports are KMGJ and KSWF in Orange County, NY&&Stop by and say hello.

Can someone explain to me why it stipulates SP2. I went to all the trouble of installing it after trying the demo & it doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference. Roll Eyes

Another thing. What's all this about a time limit on the demo? Does that mean it comes to an abrupt halt after a certain length of time, never to work again? I've read the Readme, the EULA & the download instructions carefully & can't find any mention of it.

After 30 mins. of non-stop flying, a message will pop-up saying; Your 30 mins. has expired, and that flightsim will close. - Or something like that.

What I do is note the time I take off, and 28 minutes later save the flight, end the flight, and load the flight, and once again, note the time.. (so on)...

Deluxe - the relative price difference between the two makes little difference - if it was £20 or £25 then maybe it'd be more significant, but £10 was what you used to be able to get a refund of when upgrading from a previous version of FS!

yeah... most peeple will spend more than the price of the game on payware anyway so the extra £10 at the beginning doesn't really make that much of a difference.
