Hello Kevin, REGARDING: Must I buy Flight Simulator x? The system works with either FS9 or FSX. However, if you're interested in flying for IYP Virtual Air (located here).... http://va.itsyourplane.com/html/overview.asp you will need FSX. Regards, Robert PS. I received no feedback from you on my earlier response to your question about setting up a flight. Did you receive it? Please advise.
