Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:46 pmFrom the illustration they're offering FSX DeLuxe as a free download. If you click on the ad they want you to install the HotBar toolbar in order to download it. I checked this out & it's known adware which is difficult to get rid of. The only free download of any MS sim that I know of is the FSX Demo which is readily available from the Microsoft Insider website with no strings attached.
I pointed this out as it makes this site look bad. If you're not interested then I'm obviously wasting my time.
