There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Yup.. there's no problem buying through Paypal so why wait
It seems a few of us didn't get email notification with the serial number from FSAddon (I still haven't received that) but you will get an email receipt from Paypal and the download link/serial number is on your orders page at SilverCloud so no problem;-)

Paypal
I am looking into the problem with the confirmation e-mail from the shop. It appears to be because of the shop software or the server settings it is on. I see it attempts to send emails, but fails, and the emails remain in a wait loop. So it is not a Paypal issue in this case. Apologies for the inconvenience, but so far I managed to solve all problems I believe.
I am also working on setting up a new shop, hopefully getting rid of this (and a few other) pesky problems.
For Simon and myself it still beats selling through distributors, who take up 20% to 40% of our income, making it even less feasible to continue our development work :-(
P3D
On another note... I added the P3D files AFTER releasing the initial package..... and people who already bought it before that time did not get the P3D files activated in their account. I have fixed that now and everybody should have TWO zip files in their Anson order. Just let me know if this isn't the case yet for you.
Happy flying !

Hi Francois,
I tried registering on the forums there too and that's not working either. The registration process is fine and it says your password will be sent, check your email. The email doesn't arrive unfortunately (or hasn't yet anyway). Perhaps the 2 are linked?

Could well be there is an issue with emails from the store server..... that's why I am working on moving to another account, software and server. That, and because of the high cost of renting a dedicated server ;-) )
I'll have a new website (almost ready), a new shop and a new forum, hopefully all before the end of this year !

One minor issue I discovered this morning.
When I called up my GFA aircraft, the float version was not available. I discovered that there were two missing entries in the [fltsim.x] section for ui_typerole= and ui_createdby=. When checking all the aircraft.cfg files I found the same for [fltsim.0] of the C-12 Military version as well. Adding these entries corrected the issue.
So now I have all 13 Annies showing in my selection menu.
Just thought I'd pass this on.

WarHorse are you using FSX or P3D? In P3d if you use "Manufacturer" to call up the Anson you will get the floats version under GFA Avro Anson and the tractor will show under GFA.
If you use "Publisher" then for some reason The float version and the tractor won't show. I did not have that problem when testing.

FSX.
You are correct. With the normal install, the float version doesn't show when you select GFA as publisher. That is because of the missing entries in the [fltsim.0] as I mentioned.
Here is the default [fltsim.0] from the float version (I always save a copy of my aircraft.cfg before editing):
[fltsim.0]
title=GFA Avro Anson floats
sim=GFA AVRO ANSON FLOATS
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=AVRO ANSON_check
atc_id=
ui_manufacturer="GFA Avro Anson"
ui_type="Mk1 on Floats"
ui_variation="SAAF 3168"
description="The Avro Anson, Type 652A, a militarised version of the Civil passenger Avro 652, flew the first time on 24 March 1935. The aircraft you are looking at here is a very unique conversion of the Anson by No.35 Squadron SAAF, at Congella Dockyard in Durban, South-Africa. It was used for training new crews in waterborne techniques before they graduated onto the Squadron's Sutherlands."
What is missing is:
ui_typerole="Recon & Training"
ui_createdby="GFA"
Since you didn't encounter the missing model during testing, I can only guess that you selected the aircraft according to the manufacturer which would be "GFA Avro Anson"

WH, probably the reason I missed it was because in P3D selecting aircraft can be a real PIA. Unlike FSX where you have thumbnails to help you choose an aircraft P3D has a different setup with no thumbnails until you select an aircraft. It is a real pain as I am one of the testers for another aircraft on the drawing boards and they have just named them A, B, C etc.
