Pi##ed off with Captain Sim

I've still never been able to install the F-104. It keeps giving me an error code. I've tried it numerous times over the last year using three different computers.

HA ! finally got it to install

the funny thing was it wasnt captain sim who resloved it, it was the REX forums i was sniffing around there the other day to see about the new REX addon and saw a win 7 forum so i was looking through it and found a topic about how it wouldnt find the fsx directory at the time of the 707 install it didnt ring a bell until today

i went back today and re-read some posts in the win 7 section and applied some of the recommendations they suggested and wow it worked

all i had to do was shutdown a certain few proccess in the task manager

well there you go, after filling out several tickets, wasting a hell of a lot of time, ive come to the conclusion that captain sims fix for everything is free some space on your hard drive and re install fsx, jesus a retarded chimp could've had more insight than these guys

damn shame they dont have a forum like many other developers for support, as its a beautiful model

THANKS REX TEAM !!!!!!

It just goes to show that the best support usually comes from fellow users, not necessarily the developers, no matter how hard they may or may not try. The biggest problem for developers now is that there are three main operating systems their FSX products have to work on: WinXP, Vista, and now Win7 -- let along 32 and 64 bit variations, plus Dx9 and Dx10. Then throw in the versions of FSX -- Base, SP1, SP2, and Acceleration. It adds up very quickly. Some try to cover the bases, some don't look beyond the PC on their own desk.

Glad it worked out though.

Matt, why not drop them an email, politely explain your woes and offer the fix you found and where you found it. This way they can learn from their mistakes and your experience and maybe this will help the next Captain Sim customer who experiences the same issues you did?

I've never had a problem with Captain Sim myself, but there are other companies I have had problems with. I'd like to think that I've offered them constructive advice based on my experience as a customer, as somebody who runs an on-line shop and as somebody who works with developers in the FS world. If this is ignored then so be it, but I think too often people just sort out their problems and walk away and the vendor never learns from their mistakes.

Just a thought. :engel016:
