Unless they have changed the wrapper since I bought the 421, it's easy to download from a computer with a fast connection and bring it home, as long as you have a CDR(W), zip drive, or something big enough to carry it. Just download it, and register. After the registration it places the key and install files usually in C:Flight1. Take the files in C:Flight1 home and install. I backed mine up to a CDRW for safe keeping.I've purchased three aircraft from Flight1, I think their system is the easiest to use.

I believe it's still fairly lame :)I agree with the sentiment 'good quality software is worth buying'.But unfortunately, as is more often the case these days, there seemsto be problems with new releases. I feel this still warrants the 'trybefore you buy' philosophy.If anyone else wants to be masochistic, I could try to u/l it, but Ihave an extremely slow dialup connection ( 50MB could take days).

I love the wraper. As it makes fast service. And you just keep the installs after they are extracted..Id much ratehr get it this way then the way captain sim distributes their planes.
