Title: Try before you buy?
Post by Space shuttle on Jun 7th, 2009 at 7:53pm
I am not a genius when it comes to computers. I see a plane I like and I buy it. Honestly the requirements are like code to me. I think with FSX being the graphic intensive machine it is I think it would benefit both CS and potential and current customers being able to try all CS aircraft before buying. I now that Abacus once had a try before you buy and all of his aircraft would automatically uninstall after 6 days. I am looking into the CS 727 but hear that it is not FPS friendly and just want to see if it runs well on my machine without taking any chances.

The full aircraft should be present I really recommend a 6 day trial with full functionality. I am not sure if you could prevent someone from re downloading this plane but if CS could try something like that I think it would be great!

oh and much like Active Camera if you can put a link in the FSX toolbar that say's purchase product and takes us directly to the purchase page that would be great as well. :o

Thanks for taking the time to review this CS :)


Regards

This is a good idea,
but the current try before you buy feature isn't bad either.
It lets you try everything about the aircraft exactly as the full version, except really flying.
Since all functions are present, the hit on frame rates is the same with demo or full version.
I think a 'time limited, full function' version as demo would be relatively easy to crack, so great news for pirates.

True then what about employing that AFS does and put giant noticeable banners around the aircraft?
