Skysim British Aerospace Hawk T1? Where to buy?

Hello All!

I'd like to get this add-on but it seems impossible to get from the Skysim website..
Does anyone know where to find this old add-on? ot where to get in touch with the designer?

Thank you!
 
What was it about the Skysim website that caused a problem for you? I got a prompt about a security certificate expiration but I was able to get past that and go to check-out with the Hawk T1 download version, although I didn't purchase.
 
Wow, thanks for the link, wasn't aware it was available again. I thought it got pulled, something about Rick not seeing any of the money from the sales, or something.
Anyone got any VC images, really thinking of getting this one.
 
I'm not sure how it's setup now. You used to have to use a code generator and whatever that gave, you sent to Skysim. They'd then send an unlock code.

Rick is, as far as I know, handling this pretty much single handed at the moment and has continued with support/re-activation requests since the 'apparent' demise of the shop (though the shop does still work despite the security warnings). He'll have you sorted in no time;)

Quote from Rick a couple of weeks ago..
Skysim was sold to a new owner quite a while ago.
Nobody knows the Logins for the site where the files are kept and Gordon is no longer contactable.

That's why it looks dead.

It will purchase fine and I have no idea what the errors are that people are seeing but guess it's because the Site is now using very old code.
I cannot get on the Skysim Forum as I was blocked from Access somehow when company was sold.

All Hawk Support mail (Not activations) are passed onto me so there should be no major problems at all.

I think I can still log in as an admin to the forum but I was never able to get to the files location (never tried really).
MickeyD might be able to since he had all the Team SDB scenery there before it sort of imploded.

Some boxed CDs were made and sold at UK air shows by Skysim years ago.

Any problem with the install process, unless it has changed, was with getting the activation code
since it was manual process and the guy doing it (Gordon) did tend to go to sleep at night (UK time).

If you don't have this one - get it. You won't be sorry.

Is the install straightforward once you get the activation code, or are there additional steps??

Installation is really straightforward. (2 steps)

1. Download, run the installation file, send the activation code request.

2. Once received, activate your add-on (by entering the activation code in a pop-up window) and here you go.

The whole process took me 15 minutes (including the add-on activation).

And as Dave said, I am not sorry of my purchase!
 
Almost there.

Just sent information for an activation code.

I almost gave up. First go around their payment system aborted. Likely because I changed to US Dollars. On my second attempt I left things as they were in British Pounds, and my order went though.

EDIT: Well, dang. It's pat 8:00 PM there now, so I likely won't get my activation code until Monday.
 
I bought the Skysim Hawk a few years ago and thought that it was absolutely superb. However, I found that trying to activate the product was a real pain & I know that there's a few out there who have also had hassles. I was never able to set it up on my new PC so gave up in the end.

I did think about returning to this excellent aircraft a little while ago; buying it again but boxed as opposed to download, but the activation woes have scared me off.

Have activation issues put anyone else off?
