Ant's T-28B & C Released

[VCN-1]

Oh, so true. I have to wait to update my D model. But I went to PC Aviator for the new B & C.

I did the same thing. Plus the 10% discount wasn't bad either.

May I ask how one gets the 10% discount? I bought my "D" at FS Pilotshop but trying to get the B/C, there is no option for "D" owners.

I did download the updated "D". Thanks Ant!

 

[VCN-1]

At PC Aviator the B/C was offered with an automatic 10% discount.

Thanks VCN-1! You're right! I went there and got it. Downloading now.

Thanks VCN-1! You're right! I went there and got it. Downloading now.

Another example of comparision shopping for the best value. Way to go my friend . I was one of the beta testers for these airplanes and may I strongly suggest that all users thoroughly read the manuals .

Well if FSS are not going to update the install I may have to purchase elsewhere.

Update on the retailers situation.

PC Aviator USA, Just Flight, Simmarket and FS Pilot Shop all have the T-28B/C available and the update for the T-28D to version 2.

There was a bit of a SNAFU with the user codes with PC Aviator USA but that should be sorted by now.

I've sent a support ticket reminding Flightsimstore about the T-28B/C last night and haven't heard anything back from them.

And I've heard nothing from PC Aviator Australia either.

If I haven't heard anything from Flightsimstore by tomorrow I will look at creating an updater for the T-28D and putting that on my website so that people who bought the original T-28D from FSS or PC Aviator Australia can at least update their copies to version 2 (the updater will require a valid copy of the T-28D be already installed and the original user code for the T-28D).

Thanks Ant! Great service. I just purchased the B/C from PC Aviator US with no issues. Looking forward to updating the D model. Shame that FSS isn't updating their inventory. The D model is not the only purchase I've made via FSS that I've not been able to update.

FSS has finally updated the "D" model(where I got the original). It's showing at 160.35mb. Don't know about the "B" & "C" versions as I bought them from Just Flight.

edit: Oops!! Spoke too soon. The 160mb is showing for a new version but the download area still has ver 1.10 in the bin.

 

[Rudyjo]

I just checked the FSS website where I bought the T28D. It does show the new version can be bought.
I checked my account for the update and while it shows the 1.10 version as racartron mentioned, I downloaded it anyway to see what happened. It still downloads the old version.
Lucky I still have 97 downloads left.

Maybe they will get it straightened out by the weekend.

 

[WarHorse47]

Well, I'm having the same bad experience with FSS as everyone else.

They are now selling the B/C model and the updated D model, but for those of us who purchased version 1.10 of the D model there is no update.

I can also attest that they have no responded to my e-mail. I have just sent another one, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sorry about the problems, Anthony. I just love the Trojan, but any update or future purchase will just have to wait.

 

[anthony31]

Oh what fun being a developer is.

Thanks so much to everyone for being so patient. It is wonderful that not one person has sent me a rude email throughout this whole ordeal.

I will get onto making that patch for the D model and upload it in a few hours time to my website.

Hopefully, FSS will read the support tickets and fix things up with the correct link to V2 for existing T-28D customers.

As mentioned before the old T-28D version 1 and 1.1 were around 112MB in size while version 2 is around 165MB (which seems to be the most reliable way to tell the difference between versions, even though I number versions some retailers change the filenames).

It seems that the D Version 2 and B/C are available at fss now but there seems to be a problem for those who already bought the T-28D and they can't download the new V2.

Still no word from PC Aviator Australia.

Patch for T-28D version 1.0 and 1.1 to upgrade to version 2.0 is now available from my website:

www.antsairplanes.com/downloads/AntsT28DV200patch.zip

You must have a valid T-28D version 1.0 or 1.1 already installed (the installer will check this) and you need your user code for the original T-28D.

Only those people who are having problems downloading the T-28D version 2 from their retailers account should use this patch (ie FSS or PC Aviator Australia customers). The installer from the retailers is a standalone installer, while this patch require the T-28D version 1.0 or 1.1 already be installed.

If you have installed the T-28D into P3D you should be able to point the installer to the P3D directory. Otherwise, run the T-28D 1.0 or 1.1 installer into a dummy FSX folder, then run the patch and point it into the dummy FSX folder. From there you can copy across the necessary files to P3D.

The C is the best fun. I had a ball last evening making traps on the "Shangri La" that came with John's Navy Mustang package.

I tried installing it in P3D v2.0. It installed fine but it causes CTDs after a few minutes. This happens with many other complicated addons though and I understand that it was not developed for v2.0.

It runs great in FSX with DX10 though.

D version is fantastic
B and C is just Brilliant

Thank you Ant's for both the updated vers 2 of the D
and for doing the B&C models Love Them

A must have Purchase for 2013
