Hey I was just wondering if you can burn these games onto a cd. I want to practice on them sooooooo bad but Im only a 16 year old kid with no money.

It is illegal to make a copy of a game or simulator that is copyrighted. I am 17 and I saved up the money to buy my sim. :)

PS. Just save dude. If I can do it, so can you. :wink:

and you think this quote would make it right to do something illegal?
I'm a 44 year old and don't have the money to buy a limo, so could I just go and rob a bank? hmmmm.

now back to your question.
yes, you can burn them on cd and you could borrow one and install it on your computer, but it won't help you much, since the newer and better once out there are protected with a hardware chip that is needed to run the program.
there are other (free) simulators out there, why not starting with one of these and save some money (extra car wash, mowing the lawn etc) until you can afford and legally buy what you want.

There are free heli sims out there and sims for like $20. I bought G2 off eBay for like $80. Talking about stealing in a public forum where you IP addess is logged is not too smart. Anybody could just type you info in this form and you WILL get a call. http://www.nopiracy.com/

Yes, but without the box that runs the game it is a bit pointless :?

You plug you radio into the controller OR use the controller.

It can be done, but I would look around for a secondhand one.

Reflex only uses it's own controler interface, so no joystick or anything like that.

I bought reflex and a raptor 50 with my own money when I was 15, save up the money...

And as a programmer, if someone was copying a piece of software I wrote and wasn't making money off of it (selling it, using it professionally), I don't really mind... That said, if you like the software, pay for it. Programmers need to make a living, too :)
