  1. Q. How can I test fly the F8 Crusader?

  2. Q. How long can I test fly the F8 Crusader?

    A. You can fly these fighters free for seven days. After this trial period, you can order a Registration Key directly from us in order to unlock the trial expiration. Please keep in mind that the 7 day trial starts when you install the aircraft.


  3. Q. When I select the F8 Crusader from my Flight Simulator Aircraft menu, the Unregistered Aircraft dialog box won't allow me to click on the Try it for free button. Why not?

    A. Most likely, the seven day trial period has expired. The trail period begins the first time you click on the Try it for free button and continues for seven consecutive days. After this trial period has expired, you'll need to purchase a Registration Key to unlock the trial expiration.


  4. Q. When I select the F8 Crusaderfrom the Aircraft menu, a bright yellow screen appears and I can't see the visual model of the plane. What's wrong?

    A. In order to fly any of the Premier Collection aircraft, you'll need to have a small program in your main FSX folder or the FS2004 \modules folder. This program keeps track of the trial period and registration information.

    If you see this message, simply reinstall the aircraft, making sure that you choose your main FSX folder or main FS2004 folder as the destination directory.


  5. Q. How can I purchase the F8 Crusader?

    A. You can order directly using the Internet or by calling our toll-free order line and using your credit card. Alternatively, you can order by mail.

    Either way, we will send you a Registration Key. When you select the F8 Crusader from your Aircraft menu, you'll see a small dialog box in which you can type this Registration Key. After you've entered the Registration Key, you will have unlocked the trial expiration and won't have to enter the Registration Key again.
