For those that want FSP from a cracked or file sharing website...

dan was pretty liberal with just the demo, an entire program for free (with the exception of departure airport limitation) i think fsp was
worth the $40 or what ever dollars. I don't care if "too" (synonym for also) is spelled "to" in the game its a very excellent program. $40 was
worth it. think about this way, $40 will give you updates to keep the add-on current.

Dan should get a patent on this game and sell to microsoft for use in fsX.

No!
I like this forum and support system! MSFT would make is FsBeuocracy!
Although it would probably be better for Dan,

I agree, FSP is great as it is, if MS implement it in FSX then there's really nothing we can do, but I'd rather they follow tradition and get the
important stuff right, then leave the enhancing to people like Dan.

perhaps the only pirated software i have is like $500 worth of microsoft office and like 200 songs, BUT I am not afraid of putting Microsoft
Out of buisness or making Led Zeppelin work in McDonalds.

dan deserves reimbursement for his efforts.

[WBHoenig]

I personally think that his price is completely reasonable.

the price is reasonable but for those too lazy to put in a credit card number....

Just my 2 cent's worth...

As a VA founder and manager, I decided a while back that my members would have to use some sort of PIREP software which checks to
see that the pilot actually made the flight (alot of false pireps at the time). Then came FSPassengers which not only did that but also 1000
other things that all of us virtual pilots were dreaming about. Not our VA uses FSPassengers as a payware solution and FSAcars as a
freeware program). Needless to say most pilots prefer FSPax!
Although I can't be sure if my members all have original software, I always try to give them incentives for purchasing FSPax by telling
them about the support, and how all this is done by a remarkable individual (and beta testers too!) and it's would be a f***ing shame if
that person was to stop updating this wonderful software because of piracy.

Also a quick suggestion to Dan... instead of having the demo work only for a specific airport, it would probably help if there was either a
time limit (or use limit) or if the demo could accept (and lock-up) a specific airport. That would give the users a chance to try it in areas
where they usually fly in.

Sorry for the long post!

I personally disagree. It is soooo easy to re-install a program after the trial runs out; someone could have a lifetime of FsP fun somewhat-legally
without paying a dime.

You obviously have a point there, but the way things are today, it almost just as easy to find pirated software (saying the above, there
should be some sort of way to check and see if FSPax was installed before).

a lot of companies nowadays write to the registry when a demo has expired, uninstalling and reinstalling has no effect as usually the
registry key is well hidden !

[positron]

Well I have to admit that I have been trying to find a crack after trying to buy teh demo. Yo uask me why ? I ghave limited funds and I have
some payware sftware which I paid for so dont; worry. I will be trying to buy fs pax in the near future. I urge other people to buy the product
and avoid cracking it as it is not worth the hassle.

[AA American]

I just downloaded the demo, and won't be able to buy the full version for a looong time, but I really don't understand why somebody would
want to commit a felony just be able to fly from their home airport. Personally, KSFO,KOAK,and KCCR (I think) are plenty departure
airports, because you can land anywhere.
Dan, is it possible to be able to detect if an unlock code has been used more than once on different IP's?

When I somehow find the money, i'll definatly buy.

For anyone who wants to unlock FSP without paying for it, here's the trick:

- Load up this flight KSFO - KJFK
- Use the "Real-Time" load option and set for 20 mintues.
- After the 20 minutes pass and everyone's on board, proceed to the runway
- Keep track of the time, this is important. After 2 hours and 5 minutes after takeoff, press Alt + F4.

- Keep in mind, it might not work the first time so keep trying!

:LOL: Some poor sap is going to be stupid enough to try that!
