Uhmm..time limited demo?

I'm sure it does - that's why I said it felt unnecessary to me :/ As Brian said it doesn't eat up into your "flight time" (the timer starts when you start flying, not when you run the EXE), but it's still an annoyance if you don't have a RAM drive or an otherwise silly fast HDD setup.Can you save a flight in the demo? If you can, you could save some time by associating the saved flight files to FSX and double-clicking them to get straight to where you left off before the timer ran out (no need to taxi or take off all over again). If the demo doesn't tell you how much time remains, though, it'll be hit-and-miss to figure out when you should save the flight.
