Buyer - I thought that I was getting a CD not a digital copy. Now the only way I can use it is to purchase a X Box subscription

Pleased - I wish they would fix the fuel guage issue. There are also a couple of bush flights that cant be finished due to landing on abandoned airstrips, or locations in the middle of buildings. It also dont have the selection of planes in the older version.
