Guest Private-Cowboy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I honestly appreciate that but you also have to understand that this simply does not look too good when a store takes your money and the product cannot be installed. That's one reason why I'm not a fan of activation protection like this. Again, the legitimate buyer is screwed while the ones getting it from somewhere 'else' prolly will have zero issues. And how can one man overcome that alone? Besides that, if that would not be sorted out it would simply be a case of credit card fraud, would it. I'm getting some sleep now. Gnight.

Nils Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I just finished the mission.. really great job! It looks really fantastic - and normally, i'm a big fan of photo sceneries Thanks for your work! @those who have to wait I know it's a bad feeling, but it's worth waiting and you will get much for less money.

Although I understand the frustration, to me one looks good or doesn't look good not through having problems (there's always a million things that can go wrong), but how the problems are handled. Top marks to the guys who are dealing with the issues that a few people (including me) are experiencing. As for activation, everyone hates it - but it simply is no other alternative given the speed of which things can be downloaded these days. Cheers, Matt.

Guest Private-Cowboy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ah crap. Just gave it one more go with the exact same data and now its unwrapping, so its a server side issue. My wife is going to hate me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hockings Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Would just like to report a successful download, successful installation, and great joy at using the product. Like many others, I had some troubles getting through the online order process, getting a download, and getting validation. Even though it was many hours before normal commencement of the workday here (4-5 am in Australia), I got instant assistance. All my problems were caused by the huge amount of internet traffic, which resulted in orders not completing, emails not arriving, downloads failing. None of them were problems with the product or the ordering system itself. Help was always instant, firsthand, and solved the problem. Can't thank and congratulate everyone involved enough..outstanding service and outstanding product from my point of view. My sympathy to others who also had glitches, but I'm sure they'll be fixed soon. I guess every revolution comes with a bit of a head of steam and a few dramas. It's sure worth the wait though!! Thanks guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^33^Amc Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Plain and simply, but I think the site was just overwhelmed with the amount of people that have just come online. America just hit 6:30 Pm on the east coast; a lot of people arrive home from work at that time. I think the store could not handle the work load and the server shutdown... just my gestimate though, nothing official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Official take on this: We estimated a lot of sales but we are BURRIED under everything, I am NOT making excuses at all however estimations are always great but this... beyond anything we could have hoped for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneLaycock Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hey Guys It has taken me a little while to post here this morning because I have been too busy flying around in this whole new world. Its fantastic. I had the same problems downloading this morning, then with the validation (you need to add some extra letters/numbers not listed on the Stores data). Still haven't received my email with the reg number but all the answers to my problems were found immediately on this forum. Great work guys. Gold Medal for the team.

I am so frustrated right now but I realise this coul be a problem on my end except I can download everything else just fine as well as surf the net at lightning speed as usual, I also couldnt get onto ORBX/VOZ or flightsim store to see if anyone else had problems like me until now (3 hours later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atheelen Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Finally just got my license code from Flightsim! I started the download a 1.20AM (Perth time) last night which took just a little over 2 hours to get the base install. And I have been waiting all night and this morning for the code from Flightsim. I feel like a little kid, just can’t wait to load it up and start flying! But first things first I will now need to start planning my early escape from the office today. God I hope this lives up to the hype! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyj025 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 because its such a large file windows could be stuffing it up . Try using a download manager to get the file (getright) and u should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Bulldog, before starting the download make sure to clear you webbrowser cache first secondly use a D/L manager such as getright or www.Stardownloader.com they have a resume function in case of breakoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex330 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Just as an update for everyone with the "registration key incorrect" problem: The problem in my case seemed to be the order number. On the store website it's only a four-digit number, while in the email (which had not yet arrived when I asked the question last night) the number starts with FSS000... before the number. I tried this and the installation went without problems! So, I'm off flying now Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
