Give the new account newbies at least 200 perkies to 'blow'...kinda like Vegas giving out money to hotel guests to 'get them addicted'....great suggestion IMO.

Suprisingly, I agree.

Newbies should have possibility to try out all planes in game online in their 2 weeks period.

True. But what will happen when the perks run out? Which they will SOON as new guys. Will they hold their paying account hostage again for more perks, swearing the'll kill it if HiTech doesn't come up with more?
 It would be a nice plan but, imo, judging from Skysix's posts he'd cancel when they ran out anyway as all he wants to do is fly that one aircraft online.

By that point they should understand that from now on they have to earn those points. If they don't like they can leave but stupid little threats like that I'm sure will fall on deaf ears. If something like that were implemented.

Actually I do agree with the the perk system.  It just really stinks not having as much time to gain all the points. But since I will pry only get to fly maybe 6-10 missions a week it could be a while before I get to fly it.  

I did start paying to play when the Ar234 came out.  I am going to give the perk system a chance.  I think though it would be nice it at least try it out.  That would give me a chance to see how the main arena works and learn how to budget my points.  But yet I do believe that if I cannot fly the plane I joined for then it would be wasted money.  

Ripsnort pointed out to me some other options I had not considered also like the Historical stuff.
