Nope....


The installer made me close my secunia security program...then it had an error installing.



Error 102: The byte count for the internal archive of this installer is incomplete.
The most likely cause is an incomplete file download..
Press "Report" to send this error to FSD technical support, or exit this program and try again.

Just thought I would give it one more try and now I am getting this error message also.
Guess I'll give and continue to use my old SU FS9 P-38...works okay with the usual cloud issues. I just do away with clouds.
 
Seems like this program is just too bugy, how many people actually got this to work? im still trying to get a complete demo downloaded all I get is error102..for $36 I hope it works better than this.
 
We have removed the files from our server temporarily while we finish the next build, which based on the reports we have received, should address all of the issues. It should not be long now.

This means you received a file fragment, likely because we removed the file. The finished file should be posted soon.

Anyone who has already signed up for the P38 demo should have received an email from us with information about the upgraded demo software we have posted on our server. If not you can download the new files from our web page at http://www.fsd-international.com/Hangar/P38/demodownload.htm

Enjoy!

Got my email...downloaded the demo. Tried to load and got this: "The demo period has expired". I would really like to try this plane, but I guess it's just not going to happen.

Did you download and run the demo installer previously?

Yes, tried to load many times with various error messages (see previous posts under this thread). Damn, Tim, I can't get over how hard you're working to fix the problems we are having. Good on ya', mate.

Tim,

I'm in the same boat. I installed the demo last weekend but suffered the missing gauges issue like everyone else and then had to manually uninstall it. I figured I'd just wait until the kinks were worked out and have another go when the time came. Although I never received an email about the updated demo, I saw the new posts and just downloaded the new installer. When it runs, I get a popup that says "Thank you for trying the P-38. Your trial has expired." Can this be reset?

Thanks,
Rick
 
Same here

I downloaded the demo last week and when I installed it, I had no gauges. I've downloaded the new demo installer and I get "trial period expired".

I've tried cleaning the registry, to no avail.

Can the trial period be reset please?

PS: Win XP Pro and ESET 4 security
 
Tim,
I am also having the same issue. I did try to d/l the original demo when it was first released, but only got a 30 mb file. I got the email to get the new demo and got the 349 mb file. I installed and all went well, went into fsx and she showed in the preview screen, but when i tried to load the flight that i had setup, fsx stop responding and i get the demo trial time has expired message.
I tried the reset tool but it is looking for the YF-23 which i do not have and stops responding. Ive attached a pic of what it looks like on my desktop, as you can see at bottom left its looking for the yf-23.
Its not a big deal to me if i dont get the demo going as i plan on buying her next weekend and i have plenty of other a/c to fly for now. But it would have been nice to throw the big girl around the skies of fsx and get a feel for her before hand.:engel016:
Thanks for all the hard work your doing to get this fixed for everyone.:medals::ernae:
