I would also be so much more inclined to "advertise" G3 if you used a small dongle instead of the InterLink. I will NOT travel with G3 when I can wrap up my Reflex dongle, put it in my TX case, throw my laptop in it's bag and go. Keep your copy protection since you really favor it - I tell you though that in 20 years in the computer business, you aren't really accomplishing anything more than driving legitimate customers away - just give us the ability to plug a trainer port to USB cable into our TX, fire up G3 (which we already paid a serious price for) and fly. We installed it, you required the CD-Key and InterLink-key, what more do you want? I am not trying to be confrontational, but I personally believe that REQUIRING the I-Link is the WEAKEST-Link. When I am home sitting watching TV and my laptop is near by, the I-Link is in the USB port and I fly. Sometimes I just fly to keep my thumbs from getting dumb so I am not concerned about mixes or using my TX. But when I am on the road, lugging an I-Link or having to explain to someone screening at the airport as to why I have TWO seperate "electronic boxes with things sticking out of them" gets real old. At that point it's RealFRIGHT not RealFlight.

I am a registered G3 owner - even still own G2 - and have ALL the current add-ons. We are a LOYAL bunch, even when either the software developer or the distributor (more likely thet later) was trying to rake us over the coals. Even with the aircraft importer, I will probably open up my wallet yet again and purchase the planned Add-On 6 or whatever you decide to call it. We endoured all the AFP is great and G3 SUCKS abuse posted all over this and other forums, yet we held fast. Is asking to Not have to carry around a cumbersome plastic box that serves absolutely NO OTHER PURPOSE just to much to ask?
