I see all of my questions are answered on their website. (prepar3d.com)
Yeah, I see that if you buy the $59.95 "academic" version you have to certify that you're not going to have any fun with it <g>. I assume that's so they don't have to support the gamer market.
Thanks, Bill. Very interesting. I had forgotten where Microsoft Flight Simulator ended up.
Now that the FAA is allowing IFR currency on approved simulators without a flight instructor, we are getting more requests from our club members. To date, I think $6500 is about the least expensive setup I've seen, as these approved systems come as a package deal. I'd love to find something (significantly) less expensive in exchange for spec'ing acquiring, building and testing the system myself, but I don't know that the FAA is approving any such setups.

OK, I took a look at the forum discussions about their EULA...had to make some popcorn <g>.

Ralph,
I think it gets down to P3D stating their sim is not for recreational use. What P3D has done is made a steeply discounted version for students, but I don't think P3D tries to enforce that policy. Those folks like me who are not in school or are licensed pilots are suppose to pay full freight. I paid for the full version, it was how I was raised.
