WIN7---no Safir X

SOH-CM-2022
Hi,
yesterday i upgraded from Vista Ultimate 64bit to WIN7 Ultimate 64bit without
bigger problems.
FSX is running and also all Payware aircrafts i have---and i have many of them,even the WBS-Mustangs runs---only the Safir X is not to install.I tried it in several modes that WIN 7 allows,but no chance.
What is it for a problem?Are the guys at Sibwings not able to look into that
and fix it or are they not willing to do it?
But i think,they also want to sell their upcoming Birddog.
Not for WIN7-User?
Can`t understand this,sorry.
Michael

Windows 7 has been released to the public for what, 3 days? And yet it appears you're questioning the developer's integrity because the plane doesn't install? Have you contacted the developer to ask about your problem or to see if they have a solution or are working on one?

Sorry if I'm missing something here, it just seems like an indictment being served, without all the details being offered.
 
Yep,also posted in their forum.
But that`s not my problem.
WIN7 RC`s are out for a long time and nothing happened from Sibwings to make
a patch for the new OS.WIN7 is not out for 3days in my opinion.
Me and many others have paid for this aircraft and now we cannot use it.
That`s not correct.

Give them a break,go back to XP for a while,gosh.
 
This was posted on their forum by Alex:

"Hi Guys,

Does anybody want to help us with testing under Windows 7 ?

So it seems they are working on compatibility, but they were just waiting for the retail version to be released.
BTW, they never claimed that the Safir would be W7-compatible and they have no legal obligation to do so (for free). You bought and got a product that clearly stated it was for XP/Vista:stop:.
 
Dude....whats your problem?

Not even professional game companies release patches new games that relate to an OS that is not even out on the market, and you expect addon makers to make fixes prior to the commercial release of an OS?
Now that is not correct.

In addition you addon is specified for Windows XP or Vista... NOT... windows 7.
So technically addon makers have no obligation whatsoever to make any kind of patches to fix Win 7 related issues.
Some probally will for the sake of their customers, but they dont have to if they dont want to.
 
A break---why?
They had a break for the last half year,when it comes more and more clearer,
that WIN7 is on the way and will be the next OS which will be the way to go.
During this months there was time enough to patch the Safir X.

Michael, you're preaching to the wrong choir here bud. Get over to the Sibwings website and make your anger known over there. It makes no difference what you think they should have been doing to produce a patch for the Safir. . .it appears they may be working on it and if and when they get it figured out they'll probably make it available for everyone like you who has Win7. In the meantime bitchin' about here is a waste of your time.
 
Sorry that i`m misunderstood.
My only intension was to invite as many owners of this aircraft as possible,to post in the Sibwings-forum,
so that we can use this wonderful aircraft as soon as possible.
That`s all.
Michael
 
Guys, you *do* realize we're talking payware here, right?

Payware = (At least basically) care for customers (if you want to keep them).

I agree 100% with this. I use XP, never made the switch (down IMO) to Vista. But when I made my installer packages I made sure a Vista user got a copy to see if there were any problems. If someone comes to me now and says the installers don't work in W7, I'll find a workaround. Because they are my customers. But..., and there's always a but, I would hope for some consideration that things do not happen overnight, nor with a pre-release version of a new operating system. Last thing I personally want to do is drop a couple hundred USD for a new OS, for a computer that will see little to no benefit from doing so.

I don't know of the developer for this plane, but I hope they do right by their customers. And I hope that the customers don't start hollering for the developer's hide three days past the official release date for W7.

Then that's all you really needed to say in your first post. Good luck. Hopefully the folks at Sibwings will take your concerns to heart and get the aircraft up and flying with Win7.
 
Calm down guys...Not sure Michaels English is all that good...

I think you just need to ride the tide out at Sibwings till they get a patch Michael!

I think an announcement on the homepage that the issue is being worked on will get you almost all the time you need, so no worries about that.
 
I know that the companies I am involved with and the freeware stuff I am involved in as well had a golden rule, no official support for Windows 7 until the official release, MS has a habit of changing some things last minute and if a patch was developed for a Beta or RC it might not have worked in the RTM, so now that the RTM has been released I am sure compatibility will follow soon in saying that, my Safir installed without a hitch and I know a few other people who also have had no problem with it as such. Maybe that has to do with the fact that I installed my Safir into my W7 well before the public betas even started.

So it is,have to excuse me for my poor english what i`ve learned 40years ago in school.:redf:
But i hope,the one or the other is able to understand me.
I have nothing against Sibwings,why should i?
I love,what they do and only want to use it also in WIN7,that´s all.
It`s every time the same with me,when i install a new OS and something doesn`t work,then i`m like a rocket.
Sorry when i took the wrong words.
