• 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.

Pre-ordered early today but still no CL-415

Mine di show up today, but I did also file a Zendesk report yesterday, as advised on the official forum.
There was a specific format to use and you had to send proof of preorder, if like me you purchased from a retailer.
 
Preordered 9/30/24, received CL-415 10/04/24 or in 5 days.

Dumb me landed in water with gear down. Plane rides high over water and could not get up enough speed to take off. Resistance was so great that could only achieve a few kph.
 
I succumbed as well and pre-ordered yesterday evening and got the CL-415 today. I'm on Steam.

I purchased the standard edition via Steam on the 27th Sept, as of yet, I've not had tthe 415 roll into my hanger. Despite checking my content manager within the sim.

I've heard that I may need to open a ticket with their support?

I think you should. This isn't normal.

There is a specific format for that Zendesk ticket. If you follow that the aircraft should be in the content manager within a day or so.
There was a thread about that specific format on the official forum…search for CL-415
 
What are the advantages (if any) of buying through Steam rather than the MS Windows Store? I purchased my copy of 2020 through MS's store and haven't hadd any problems, other than dismal DL speeds...

Difficult question. I can't compare But I like the download speeds (which should be the same, because you're downloading from M$, not Steam) I just like the interface (you use Steam too, for other stuff, so you know that) And I like my games being grouped in one provider.

Never been a fan of the M$ store, but that is just subjective to be honest.

Sory for not being able to give you a better answer.

From what I understand, if you have 2020 through the MS store, you should buy 2024 through there as well. If you have 2020 through Steam, then get 2024 through Steam. Otherwise, your MP purchases (if you have any) won't transfer over to the new sim.

That makes sense. While I see Steam as mostly another middle man looking for a teat to suck money out of, it does offer advantages with games. Many game mods will not work on any version of the game other than the Steam version. I found this out the hard way with Starfield. Because of that experience I will not buy another Microsoft game, other than FS2024, from them. Any game purchases outside of flight sims will go through Steam.

Well, for 3rd party addons, the M$ store does exactly the same John! That was about the money sucking of course.

BTW, for anyone late to the party in pre-ordering, I finally preordered Deluxe yesterday and got the CL-415 in my content manager about 3 hours later.

Flew it once and it looks great but with the real thing just a week away I doubt I'll get a lot out of the preorder bonus. :)
