The demo only lasts 6 minutes with the joystick, not a very long time.

Did you see how big the newest version is, 60 gig for one program, talk about bloated software. If others follow that same principal we'll need terabyte hard drives.

It seems those terabyte HDD are definately on the cards Radarman, and you too will have to bite the bullet one day. The fact that you've been hanging on too your old, way too small HDD for so long is a riddle in itself.
No, don't tell - I'm sure you have a sound reason.

Sometimes we overlook the obvious though. I hope you are aware that even on a terabyte HDD you'll be able to fly your favorite Taildragger 😀

I downloaded and installed the demo a few weeks ago and it doesnt even work properly for some reason. It took ages to install and 60GB Surprised But when I looked at those screenshots the scenery looks better than FS9. I get better FPS in FS2004
