Simmarket Black Friday Sale

This was posted in the FSX forums but they usually don't share with us "ludidtes". Forum post focused on Virtavia models but it looks like Simmarket is being very generous.

Thanks for the heads up on this one!

I picked up the B-47E and the Douglas Skyray. When I was growing up those were about the slickest military planes in the entire universe. My uncle flew the Stratojet, so it will be fun flying it too.

I bought the Capt Sim C-130 Expansion Pack. It was supposed to have a C-130A model in it. Actually that's the reason I bought it. Well guess what? Nothing I've tried makes the A Model work. I just get a blank screen when I try to load it.

Just wondering if any of the rest of you'll have this pack and if so, does the A model work.

Thanks...

R,

I have them all and they work fine. Do you have the base pack?

I picked up the Lockheed Neptune & Sea Vixen for FS2004 but the installer hangs up on both and locks up my computer. I had to submit a trouble ticket but that seems worthless because it will either install or not. Wish I could just download these as zip files.

Good looking out!

They got me! I went to look for the Virtavia B1 and ended it up buying it along with the C-17, Sea King, Seasprite and Merlin...all from Virtavia. Well I least I can tell the wife "...but it was 50% off"...with a puppy face of course!

Yes, I have the base pack. Only the C-130E shows up in Camo and Grey skins. The ACE utility doesn't seem to be working correctly either.

A few years back, I bought the base pack then had a computer crash. I bought the base pack again and installed it on this computer. Then when I saw the pack with the A Model, I just had to have it since I have about 1000 hours flight time as a loadmaster on the A.

Update: I completely unistalled both packs and then re-installed them. I also made a separate folder for the A Model. It now shows up and works fine....WhoooHey

R,

glad you got it working, they're pretty nice planes.

I splashed on the Virtavia Dauphin and some GA plane for a couple of quid to round it up, always nice to keep things tidy, lol. Turns out it was this 'VIRTUALCOL - CESSNA T303 CRUSADER' for £3.34. Had to check mind, lol.

Don't ask how it is, I can't tell until I get my flippin' computer and FS working right.

Many of those Virtavia offerings come with both an FS 9 and an FS X model. Quite a bargan to get two for one for half price as it were.

Love the B-47E and the Skyray. They both fit in well with my 1950s through 1960s FS 9 theme.

I picked up the Sea Vixen, and it installed with no issues; might be worth downloading again, just in case you have a glitched installer. And I have to be honest, I wouldn't hold out much hope for that support ticket, I've had no response from Virtavia on support requests for a long while now.

Thanks for the reply Andy. I ended up installing them at work and then emailing back to my main computer. Never did figure out why the MSI installers would not run. Oh well, I have the planes now.
