First, of all, I do appreciate what goes in making an excellent add on like this one. I want to say that first.
The current demo allows 3 airports, only one of which is a major airport. I understand that this intended to encourage people to buy the full product, but to some 50 USD for this may seem a little extreme, particularly considering that the base game is around 35 USD. I am aware that many other add ons are this price. I would suggest that either an alternate demo with 3 major airports be made available, that the user be allowed to choose the 3 airports or that a mission be available at any airport landed on upon completion of a mission.
I also suggest that it be made possible to purchase the use of a specific airport in this game. Such as 5 USD to add on a single airport. This would be very cool for people who just wished they had one or two more.
Thank you for reading this.

First off I’ll just say that I’m nothing to do with FS Captain, I’m just a happy customer so I’ve not got an agenda one way or the other. It’s also probably not the shortest post you’ll ever read but stick with it.
I’m 42 years old. When you get to my age you realise that price is just numbers, that’s all. Anything, and I do mean anything, that I ever buy is either in my mind worth paying for or not worth paying for, simple as that. The actual numbers are irrelevant and are just and indication of how many hours/days/years that I’ll have to save up for it. It’s the same with this, it’s either worth it to you or it isn’t worth it to you. The demo is simply an evaluation piece of software which perfectly adequately allows you to find out whether it is or not. By asking for changes and bespoke editions of what you can buy what you have decided (even if you don’t realise it) is that you probably do like it and the product probably is actually worth an investment but what you may not have realised is what you get….if you choose to broaden your horizons a bit. Let me tell you a story. I often fly regular routes with my own airline I’ve made up but occasionally I do fly to somewhere new just for a change. FS Captain generates a few random charter flights for you which may take you to pastures new and potentially lets you discover new bits of the world you may not have seen before. For me, a few weeks ago I flew into Tromso in Norway for the first time ever due to a random charter flight and really enjoyed the scenery etc. Since then I’ve flown in and out of Tromso quite a few times and am very grateful for that random charter which let me discover it but that is only the start. I’ve since looked up Tromso on the internet and learnt a bit about not just the airport but the place in real life too. It looks nice but I’ve also found it’s a good European destination to go and see the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) which is something I have always fancied doing. Currently I’m now planning a real life trip for a week or two which will now be including two or three nights in Tromso. So while my case may be quite extreme in that I’m actually going to a place in real life that FS Captain took me to, let FS Captain expand your horizons too and take you to somewhere new once in a while as well. You never know, you just may like it. With a copy that only lets you fly between a few selected airports you’ll never know what the rest of the world has to offer and you’ll be missing out. Trust me. When you get old, regret the things that you did do. Don’t grow old regretting the things you didn’t do. Your statement of “this would be very cool for people who just wished they had one or two more” reminds me of someone who may grow old regretting all that they didn’t do.

Price is just numbers. Specifically numbers defining the value of something and your capacity to obtain it.
I can and do find out what the world has to offer in the real world. FSX is for playing fsx, to me.
