I ordered a two year subscription several months back and I have to say I am pleased with it. It was a bit pricey and I knew little of of it except what I read on forums. ($110 Loonies for 12 issues). Every issue comes with a CD, and some times two CD's containing aircraft or scenery. The mag is chock full of reviews, advice columns and good reading. I give PC Pilot magazine two thumbs up! I don't mean this to be a spam style advert, but rather to say I think it is pretty cool.   Cool

This edition came with a free2play Rise Of Flight(The first great air war) and a second cd with Spitfire MK 22, Bombardier C5100 V2, Kassel EVDK airport, Piaggio PD-808, Doncourt-Les-Conflans airport, McDonnel-Douglas/Boeing MD-11,Napolini Int. airport and a Fairchild PT-19B.

What do the CDs that come with every issue have on them?  And in regards to the CDs that contain aircraft & scenery, are they demos/partial version of payware?

They are complete aircraft. I'm getting ready for work so I don't have time to go through them right now. I'm not sure what is freeware and what isnt. It's possibly a mix.  Cool

Edit: I modified the first post to give an example.

The editions come in the mail every 2nd month, so I'm like a young kid checking the mailbox and wondering what's on the next cd. PC Pilot may not be everyones cup of tea, but I enjoy it. It makes for a great coffee table magazine. It usually contains Payware reviews, Freeware articles, some tutorials, questions from readers and etc. I even read the ads as they are usually PC or sim related.
