Greetings Guido:Most of the answers to your questions can be found in the Pilot Shop, but here's what I can tell you.
> I understand there is a subscription to "Flying Magazine".
> Is this really completely "for free" (except the $8 transfer
> cost)?
Well, free to you.
> Do I undestand correctly that $8 is for the whole year, not every edition?
Correct, for the whole year. This the additional postage cost of foreign/overseas delivery.
> What is this magazine about?
> Is is more for Flight Simulator fans or more for real world
> pilots?
Flying is "The World's most widely read aviation magazine." It's content is from real pilots talking about pilot stuff--which occasionally includes stuff about flight sims.
> How many pages does this magazine have and what is the
> percentage of (at least for me) useless advertising?
I don't have a magazine in front of me, but it's your average size magazine (not a real thin one if that's what you're thinking). Regarding advertising, it's got a good balance between content and ads. Consider that it is the most widely read magazine of the genre out there which isn't dedicated to ads of selling stuff, so they're doing something right.
> Does the subscription automatically end after one year (what
> I would like to have) or am I forced to continue it?
You're not forced to continue anything. However, if you renew your VPC membership at that time we'll renew your subscription to Flying again for you (if you choose).
> Is it meant to go until the end of the calendar year or for
> exactly 12 issues after start?
Yes. One year is 12 issues.
> What about the Miramar Air Show video? What means
> 'PC-CDROM'? Is this an MPG file?
Yes. MPEG 1.
> Is there anything else on the CD, maybe additional Software?
The CD-ROM includes VPC utilities, files, and VPC Rally charts covering nearly 850 airports from around the world
> Regarding the DVD, is it full of several hours high quality
> film, or just the same quality than on PC-CDROM?
The DVD has a higher MPEG2 version of the show along with other DVD extras such as chapter selection and other software utilities we weren't able to put on the CD-ROM.
> Is it playable in a normal DVD-ROM drive (I can play standard
> DVD's in it)?
I'm reluctant to say 100% yes. In theory it should play on any DVD-ROM or stand alone player, but there are older drives that may have a problem with the DVD, which is no different than with any commercially produced DVD. However, if you have a DVD-ROM drive that's only a couple of years old and is able to play every other DVD you've tried in it, you shouldn't have any problem.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
