Short ? You probably haven't understood how the Trial works: you don't have just 6 minutes of Trial, you have an UNLIMITED number of 6 minutes periods because, if you restart Flight sim when the Trial has ended, you have another 6 minutes of Trial. There isn't any limitation on the number of times you re-start the trial, and there's no expiration date also.

I can't think of a more extended Trial like this one, which is designed JUST for the purpose of flight simmers, because they like to try, tweak the system, restart, try again, tweak again so, it fits perfectly whithin this testing pattern.

Also, keep in mind that the Trial does not start until you enter in the scenery area, which is usually about 10 nm around the airport. This mean you can even make a complete flight arriving from somewere else, the Trial for our scenery will start only when you are 10 nm inbound, which should be easy to cover at normal approach speeds in less than 6 minutes, so you can even practice all approaches, if you want.

Well that's your problem...  ORD isn't in the Northeast, so you'd better get that one, then... :P

Umberto, thanks for the info about the 10 mile radius, I didn't know that. That was why 6 minutes seemed to short. I could barely get a complex plane like an LDS or PMDG onto the runway, take off, and fly an approach to test in 6 minutes. Now I can take off near by and try an approach without having to spend valuable time. However, for me, restarting FSX a bunch of times to test is real pain. With as much stuff as I have installed a full restart takes a good 3-5 minutes, not that long if I exit a flight and go back into the main FSX menu, but a complete FSX reboot takes time. All the FSDT products I own I have only run one test flight, KFLL the exception. I wanted KFLL so much I didn't bother testing, just bought it straight away.

Aeroman, yeah I guess ORD isn't really considered Northeast, but I consider anything that is North and East of where I live Northeast  :P
