I'm hoping to buy a Skytrak so I can play TGC with it in my Simulator. I already own TGC sim software and was hoping I can just purchase a Skytrak and set it up with my current software.

I have read on Skytrak's website that I would need to:
1. Purchase their Game improvement package for $99/year to use TGC.
(I have no interest in this package, just want to be able to play TGC)

2. I would have to Purchase TGC AGAIN ($1000) from Skytrak because they use a "different version"???!
Can anyone verify this information? Has anyone been able to use TGC (or any software for that matter) without having to purchase it through Skytrak.
