and most people will understand that a full-featured Flight Simulator does
not fit onto a 1.44" FD. As John says, compare it to the X plane demo, which
a lot of people actually do download. Personally, I'd prefer not adding even
more hassle to the installation by having the newcomer decide which modules
to install.
Of course we might revise this point of view later anytime. And, no, I
neither have a cable modem nor SDL (but ISDN).
I'd vote for adding a source/add-on package, though. This could include all
the stuff a normal user does not need (including the manual source stuff).
Regards, Michael
