I want to buy this product as well but I've heard so many negative comments about the CS customer service on the various flight sim forums since getting into the hobby 18 months ago that to be honest, I'm quite scared to part with my hard earned cash in case there is a problem of some kind with activation or whatever. Crikey!, I cant even log in to the "Products" page no matter how many times I try. I'm currently using my boxed version of the C-130 for FS9 by another company (you know the one), so maybe I'll stick with it until that "Other" company releases the boxed version for FSX. It certainly is a fantastic product though.
