Warbirdsim P-51 Woes....

Hi Guys,

I stated last week that I was thinking of buying the Warbirdsim P-51 Package, and did so last Tuesday. Everything went smoothly until I installed it - went to fly to activate, and there was no Add-ons tab on the top menu bar.

Any one else had this problem?
 
never heard of that problem before, most of the trouble when its time for them to send you a key :kilroy:
 
Not come across that one. I've reinstalled it twice on Vista so far, one of them being a brand new FSX/acceleration install, and the menu was there both times. I'm really fortunate (going by all these threads) because I have had no problems with it at all. I'm guessing that as it was tuesday you've rebooted since then, so maybe just run the installation again? It's always possible that something running in the background could have interfered.
 
Look in your FSX root directory, find the Warbirdsim folder there. Inside that, there are a couple of tools - P51 remove from sim startup and P51 add to sim startup. Try using the first (even though it's not showing in your sim, it'll get rid of any parts that are there already) and then run the add to startup tool. Might be worth running FSX once in between these steps, and after using the second tool you should find the correct items in your menu bar.
 
I found the problem/solution - and it's to do with Vista. I wasn't using the administrator's account. I've reinstalled on that account and now it works.
BTW, how long generally did it take for you P-51's to an activation email?
 
The most common day for responses to be received seems to be a Sunday and the time taken varies from one day to... well. Eventually. Maybe.

Most people seem to have got them the weekend after they asked, so I'd go with "tomorrow" as my entry into the sweepstake. ;)
 
Still no luck Jan kees? Are they working with you at least? John if you are reading this post I was wondering if you ever were able to make the radiator open and close automatically? And how the updates are progressing?
 
Just stopping in here to comment on what I can, just as long as I am here viewing today's threads, so that no one grows any concerns over me leaving this thread at bay.

To this discussion, I would like to state, that Warbirdsim has been taking active steps for several weeks now, to cure, once and for all, any and all issues that have been brought to our attention, for all users and future customers. If there is any delay in getting messages sent out to new customers, it is likely due to the busyness surrounding an announcement to come shortly, and what that announcement entails for everyone.

Spilot69,
I am happy to report that yes, I have been able to replicate the four systems that coincide with the oil and coolant doors. You will first be able to notice this with our P-51D series, and shortly later, with the update for the P-51B/C's. These systems, like in the real aircraft, will allow you to select the automatic setting, for both doors, or manual, allowing you to open or close both of the doors if you choose to. Within automatic, the doors will open/close according to appropriate thermostat readings, as per the real aircraft. A separate system is also being replicated, coinciding with only the coolant door, and only for the D models, just as in the real aircraft, but information about that will be kept until release time (though those 'in the know' about the D model Mustangs, will already likely know what I am describing). ;)

Updates on the status of both of the current projects will be made only when I feel comfortable that they should. There is a whole lot of work going into the P-51D series, and once that commitment is done, the B/C model update, bringing it close to the same standards as the "D's", will have more focus, and will be more efficient to complete by then. The B/C's, by then, will be very much different craft than they are now, making the work going into this free update rather unfortunate to me, the developer, but the end result, in the sim, will be great for the developer and customers alike. :)
 
So here's my question...

....will the -D include a paint kit? Seems that was not included with the A, B and C models...

I'm watching this thread with interest as I'm having problems with this payware in FS9 Vista 64 Bit. Does the FSX version work ok with FSX Vista 64 Bit?

Regards,

I have both the FS9 and FSX versions running on my Vista 64 machine.
 
This package looks brilliant, but I've sent my activation code almost two weeks ago without a reply. It says on thier site that it may take up to 48 hours, which is understandable, but NOT this long!!! i've sent it twice in case they didn't recieve the first, and then contacted their "support" a few days ago without a reply. Have warbirdsim fallen on hard times?
 
Thanx for posting. I thought after the initial troubles the guys at warbirdsim had learned something from the very bad response they got (at least) in this forum. Apparently not, so I'll have to wait for the A2A version.... Sigh

[sarcasm]
havnt you heard, thousends of people are updateing to windows 7 so it takes a lot longer now
[/sarcasm]

Jokeing aside,I was going to report them to trade standards, specialy after the length of time it took to get a new key for myself but decided not to after i got my key the next day, might be worth looking at again :kilroy:
 
mmmmm....well I haven't had any responces from any feedback from any of the addresses I've contacted, I've contacted "support" "sales" "activation" and "info" @warbirdsim.com all over week ago. My first activation request was sent almost two and half weeks ago. And they say max 48 hours....meh
 
Let me see if I can flag up your issues.

Edit: Although as you don't have your name showing here, it could mean nothing if they do look.
