This sounds really interesting to me, but would like some info about it .

Does this sim work with FSX (the software), or is it a stand along sim .

Does it come with aircraft, and or will all fs9/FSX aircraft work with it .

I'm confused with the purchase part . Do you buy the main software than have a monthly fee, or how does this work .

Whats the interface like ( FSX or totally different .

After purchase, can you re download, make a workable backup CD/DVD.

Sorry for all the questions .

Answers in red to stand out!

Does this sim work with FSX (the software), or is it a stand along sim .

Stand alone, but most FSX add-ons work with it.

Does it come with aircraft, and or will all fs9/FSX aircraft work with it .

It comes with aircraft, but not as wide a range as FSX, however FSX aircraft work in it as it's based on the FSX code. Don't know about FS9 but I'd guess they'd at least have the same problems as they do in FSX.

I'm confused with the purchase part . Do you buy the main software than have a monthly fee, or how does this work .

Couple of choices, you can pay a one off fee for a single licence, price varies from £199 to $49 depending on your planned usage i.e. Commercial use/Academic. Alternatively there's a $9 a month developer license that allows you to install a copy on two machines.

Whats the interface like ( FSX or totally different .

Different but similar if that makes sense, ie. the structure is pretty similar but how it's presented is a bit different.

After purchase, can you re download, make a workable backup CD/DVD.

Don't know, haven't tried that actually, but as you basically download three zip files you can always back them up to a DVD.

Sorry for all the questions .
