It was $2.99 during the sale...That's when Raptor gifted it to me.

It's a pretty good sim if I say so myself.

Yeah, it's good. Only problem I had with it years ago when I last played it was
the MG sound cutting off after few rounds and CTDs.

A little to late, I have noticed that I have posted my question in the wrong section.

I knew, but had forgot that we have a flight Sim section.(I do not or it's on very rare occasion that I scroll all the way down)

Didn't notice the MG sound. I'll try that out soon. I'm almost over Germany.

Could be that GoG crew fixed the issues then.

Made a search for Prepar3D demo and found many pages the first page that had something that looked like a demo was a dead-end page

Made more search and found a page that worked dl the demo tried to installed it, without success it seems that my registry haven't got any FSX. Made some search on this fsx. Haha the demo was not prepar3D it was Flight Sim X

Guess there ain't no demo or trial version of it.

I had the FSX demo at one point. It was kinda enjoyable...but I have FS2004....sooo yeah.

Don't need it yet.

My memory isn't going well. Don't know why I had forgot this story from irl and flight Sims

As I told you before I had Microsoft flight some 2007 or 2008

I wrote about my purchase on a danish forums

One of my on line friend Steve(don't know if that was his real name or an alias) made not only a comment about it, he even send me a pm and asked me if I want to play Flight Sim on-line with him as a co-pilot

Wrote back that I'm really new to this have just learn how to use my keyboard

that's a start he replied, I'll guide you through the game play
When he wrote that, my first was he's a real hard-core flight Sim player.

I joined his network(forgot what it's called.)

Let's start with some easy flying, let us fly from Copenhagen to Billund with a little commercial plane(can't remember which)

The flight toke about 50 minutes and during the flight he told me what to do and what the saying from control-tower meant a.s.o

a little week late I got an pm from him, were he asked my if I had the guts to try a long flight

Of course I replied

He replied before we start I want you to fix coffee, the or chocolate, water and make Sim sandwiches, ´cause it's going to be long flight

I did as he said I should

Made Sim coffee and had some cola and a few sandwiches

The flight was from London to New York in a 747

During our flight we had a lot of chit chat

I asked him what he did for a living

Nothing special- I'm airline pilot flying with SAS

My response?

He was really a pilot I met him about 4-6 month later.

I remember my thought about that. I thought that a real life pilot that flew for real had no time or was not interested in flight Sims.

I was wrong.

So that's my story- I haven't seen or heard from Steve since middle of 2010
