OK Brotha,,, I can get the program to run but has a error for activation then starts but its only the demo with full control and shuts me down after 15 ish,,, Graphics on the new machine are way better. Soooo cool !...... Q, is there a way to go around the activation call and get the program to run full ?.... My wife is yelling.lol at me to just buy a new DVD but Im learning so much it makes the effort worth the price !... If not what are your thoughts between X PLane, Steam or FSX ? I d loaded Xplane and am not really impressed, Steam sounds cool but was wondering your thoughts !
