I'm not a frequent poster (for shame!) and I tend to stay away from these controversies but I wanted to say this: I read all the nightmare threads related to Captain Sim, the various problems encountered when trying to install/reinstall their products and they couldn't contrast more with my personal experience. I've bought their c-130, 727 and 757 and, aside from their store forcing you to log in again and again, the experience has been smooth: buy, pay, download, install, activate, fly...nothing more. Even the reinstall when switching PCs/Oses went smoothly......perhaps their customer support took more than 24hrs to revalidate my keys after I sent the mails but still problem-less overall.
If your experience has been the opposite, I can imagine your frustration.
Thanks for posting this, and thanks for understanding the frustration I went through last night.
How your purchases with
XX is exactly how my C130 purchase package with Just Flight went -no hitches. Very quick, everything was installed correctly in the right places, and my Windows Defender/Trend Micro firewall/anti virus programs liked what JF was sending me (more on that a/v thing later...).
Upon reading this and some posts at another site, I decided to give it another go, even though they never emailed me back, as they are officially open for business now. Oz is ahead of us here time-wise, and the sale has been going for a few hours now. This must have made the servers active or something...not sure...
Anyways, I did get my float plane. No hitch (a
caveat there, thanks to a/v). The activation key worked on the first try, it installed correctly and flies like a dream, as I expected.
So I went ahead and purchased the expansion pack for the legend 130 FS9. Again, everything went without a hitch. Sort of...
Two problems immediately arose: even with the WDefender and TM turned off during d/l and install, once I turned them back on, the TM automatically erased the newly installed FS9
XX C130 Aircraft Configuration Editor. When I looked at the a/v's list, there was 2 listings for
XX, and they said it was trojanware. If I try to reinstall it, TM erases it immediately. If the
XX's exe shows up anywhere on my pc, TM vanishes it without asking me -even though I have anything
XX allowed and unblocked... That's very frustrating too. My ACE from JF was/is just fine, no trojan detection issues whatsoever...
The second problem: The ski plane has no ailerons whatsoever. The yoke works in the cockpit, but they don't work on the plane. Nor do the arrow keys on the keyboard. I checked them on my settings in-game, they are good.
Is there a trick to using them on this ski plane? Why don't they work? Doesn't the C130 ski plane have ailerons in real life?
I'm hoping to get a response from
XX's support. I should have heard from them by now. I have many questions for them.
At least I do now have the planes I paid for, somewhat...
I'm not sure who to ask about
XX C130 matters, so that's why I posed the questions here now. You guys here seem to have vast knowledge on stuff like this...
