You're right, it doesn't say much about the simulator if it were to be judged by the default aircraft. BUT, if you can show me a person who has a stock FS9/FSX installation, then I will credit you. And when I say stock, I mean absolutely no add ons of any kind. Not even FSUIPC. If I were to judge FSX on its default aircraft, I wouldn't even consider buying it. Bernt, again, you are engaging in an X Plane vs FSX debate.It gets very mind numbing

????? what r u talking about? why is it that u constantly believe that you or holy x-plane are under attack?Why do you think that Austin provides a demo?I just wanted to know why u think that buying x-plane is neccessary when there's a demo available.FYI, I'm running FSX without any add-ons and not even FSUIPC...

I don't believe X Plane is under attack. And thank you for admitting you are not attacking it. I apologize for any misunderstanding you may have seen in my posts. Finally, you can see it is a great simulator.To fly x plane longer than the 10 minutes, a DVD or the authorized USB key is necessary.I seriously doubt anyone is willing to reload the simulator every 10 minutes just to fly a complete route after positioning the aircraft at various points along the route.Congratulations for having a stock FSX installation. You must be 1 of the very few that doesn't mind flying the default aircraft over the default scenery.Very strange as you previously kept mentioning you create/modify FDE's for payware developers. My hats off to you if you can do that without having the original add on aircraft AND FSUIPC to begin with.I really don't want this conversation to continue. I have other things to do with my time.

I have other things to do with my time.

Apparently not,
