FSX Demo

I just downloaded the FSX Demo to check it out but all I go were the: FSX Weather Report and Screensaver. Were those all I can expect? or am I missing something?

Crying out loud - That was exactly what I downloaded - the English version of course. Any other suggestion other than downloading it again?

Commoner:  My problem is that working with two moving parts confuses me. When I tried downloading the Demo again, my PC said that it was already loaded. I thought I downloaded it to my Program Files but it was in another folder so to make a long story short, I unzipped it and got it working. Thanks. by the way what keyboard do you use for Reverse Thrust and for Air Brakes. I've always used my Stick buttons.

I think I'll give it sometime before buying the software. I'm sure there'll be plenty of debugging. What do you think of the game so far.

Thanks again.

I'm glad I am not the only one who can't sometimes find the file he just downloaded, just because he pressed OK too fast  ;D Thank you, I don't feel alone no more  ;D

I used to download to my Desk Top but for some reason (something I must've tweaked) I had to select a folder to download it to. How can I download things back to my Desktop?

Try to save the target of a link with the 'save target as' right-click menu. This should allow you to choose another location, which will become default again.
