I definitely held my nose when i hit the "buy" button, and I was right

given how little functionality is in the lite version, its way, way overpriced

I will plead once again with Marc at Air to produce a free version on the iTunes store that only has the simulator mode enabled. I don't know how many sales they have given up by not allowing users to try it for less than $30, but I think it is a lot. Every other major software package can be demoed for free. The UI on iGlide though, is about 15 years ahead of every other package, making the others look like bad Windows 3.2 programs.


Yes, the Lite version is probably not worth it for many people. But the Advanced and Pro are price competitive and full featured. That is why they really, really should have a Demo version that is free. It should include the Pro features, but only work in the simulator mode, that is, would not be useable for flying.
