First, your comments are offensive. The problems do not lie "between the chair and the keyboard", but you are right about my expectations (which I believe mirror those of the average user). I expected this to be "plug 'n play" which it was and was not. It is not a "game", which you admit, but people buying XP9 need to know the program requires certain skills. Why not offer a simple tutorial/walk through? Reading is fine, but most adults learn by doing. Since I wasn't able to return the software to Apple I am forcing myself to figure this out; reading is not my "problem". If you are the software designer/developer and were offended by the criticism - get over it! A lot of developers would appreciate user feedback. If not, try helping a fellow user instead of acting like a superior sounding jerk.

Like the previous reviewer, this is a program meant for programmers and aeronautic engineers. This is not a game. You sit on the runway and try to figure out what to do with NO help from the program. THIS IS NOT MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR. If you are looking for a game, this is not it. If you are looking to create your own plane and fly it, you will be happy.
