Well, I just ordered it so I'll find out for myself how good it is. Does it run independent of CFS2 or do you have to be in CFS2 to run it? Reason being my CFS2 is still very hard to get to work on this machine. Once it starts it's fine. It just has a very hard time starting...like it has a hard time reading the CD. It goes to the splash screen and just sits there for a few minutes and then eventually says I have the wrong CD in. But then once in a while it will work and then the sim runs fine.

Okay, now I can't wait to get my hands on that sim! The Colonel took me up for a ride in N678LS today. Don't have any pics yet but man, what a ride!!! I was amazed at how smooth it flies and how quick it can turn. We did some high G turns and a vertical climb to negative G's and a barrel roll and 4 point snap roll. What a blast! Definitely in the top 5 list of coolest things I have ever done.
This is the one we flew:

It's an older L-39C but flies really nice.

Nope, no AB. I almost blacked out when he first took off and did a hard bank and turn to the left just a few hundred feet off the deck. I am guessing just by comparison in the sim that it was maybe 3-3.5 G's. Not real sure. Wasn't really ready for that then remembered to breathe LOL. Wish the wife could have been there to video the flight. Oh well, I am sure there will be more.

I will definitely try and get a video next time. I just didn't expect it when he asked me and didn't have time to get my wife there with the camcorder. Guess I need to have it at the hangar on standby.
I don't know about a high G resistance. Maybe....but like you said I haven't had any training and the only thing I have ever had close to that was a cat shot off the USS Ranger in a US-3. But that was like, 25 years ago. But the one advantage the military air crews have is a G-suit. I could have used one the other day. But an L-39 isn't equiped to run a G-suit as far as I know. At least the one I was is isn't.

Does anyone know how to remove the "unregistered copy" window? I bought the L-39 years ago for FS2K and for FS2K2. I saved the file and just recently installed it in FS2K2. During the install there was no screen to enter the product number, which, of course I saved. I seem to remember you could click on the unregistered copy window window and enter the info and it would go away, but when I click on it nothing happens.
I'm guessing since there's no support which is why nothing happens when you click on the window.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, if not I'll just live with it.
The L-39 was the first payware I ever bought, and the first that required a modicum of skill to fly it, as opposed to the default planes, and it's still my favorite plane to fly, sure wish there was an updated model for FS9.
BRG,
