I kept saying operator, but then it just went to the canned response saying they couldn't verify my install ID and it hung up. Very lame system.

Sorry for digging a month old thread up, but I just started to reinstall an older copy of FSX and am getting the activation limit error. I tried to call, but couldn't get a real person. I gave the automated guy my install ID and then he asks how many windows vistas I've installed. I don't know why he asks about windows vista, I haven't used that in forever and it has nothing to do with FSX. I told him how many times I installed FSX and then he simply tells me I have to buy a new copy. Any tips on how to get a real person to talk to? I've gone through telephone activation before with a person for older copies of windows and it was painless. The automated stuff is BS.

I'm hoping for the southwest next. Island hoping is somewhat done with the Hawaii pack, snow is covered with Alaska. I'd like to see some desert scenery and the grand canyon.

The review is pretty spot on right now. In its current state, Flight is very mediocre especially value-wise. If they would have boxed this for 39.99 retail and it had one location and 5 planes, people would laugh it out of the store. I like Flight because of the potential I see in it. I do find it very lonely running around Flight, even in multiplayer. It is strange landing at Hilo without anything at all moving. It feels like I'm the last person in the world, flying around after the apocolypse. What's more, is that there is settings in the Config file for air traffic, boats, and cars, so they may add that in the future. Overall, I am spending money on Flight because there's not a new alternative. I'm a very niche market though and I don't think MS will succeed in the casual marketplace with the current business model (price wise.)

IMO they will definitely add a bush plane like the Piper Cub or a Super Cub for the Alaska DLC, it is a must have. Along with the Cub, I really want a RV10 for the passenger missions. I'd also like to see a Cessna Corvalis TT and Skycatcher.I'd really like to have modification options as well, such as engine and prop. A career mode would be incredible with credits that can be obtained doing missions to build up to bigger and better planes. Start with a Piper Cub and work your way up to a DC3 for cargo missions.
