Actually, we do let people take an aircraft for several hours (like 1000
miles worth) and take it up to 40,000ft and over to thier airport where
their mechanic checks it out.  That's about $2,000/hour for 3 or 4 hours.

but I agree that a "good" demo should be enough and should be "standard"
for games.  There's also more committment to buy in my line of work!
