Just been to the website, but can't see any link to the aircraft for today. Some nice looking machines though in general, really like the twin engined P40.

On the right is a box marked "Specials", I dont know if that will be where it is subsequently announced which plane will be available for 5 bucks, but the Tomcat is there today.


Edit-seems the contents of the box change after every page, so maybe not :(

Smudge
December 8th, 2010, 00:37
The Tomcat should be listed on the store as 5 dollars...

I have put in a ticket with IRIS about a download problem. When I try to run the exe file it says I need to get a different bit install program 32 or 64 bit. I just wondered if any one has gotten the type of error. I have tried to run the file as admin with not luck.

Smudge
December 8th, 2010, 01:26
Ray, what's the download size, you should be getting about 221mb

December 8th, 2010, 02:03
I have the same problem as Ray, and the downloaded file is only 215 bytes. I tried both with Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Just tried to download the Tomcat and the downloader comes up with a message that it's not compatible with my 64bit system. Bummer !

Smudge
December 8th, 2010, 04:12
Guzler,

It's likely a corrupt download.. The file is fine on the system and I've just downloaded and checked it on my 64 bit win7 installation.

Drop me a PM with the order number on and I'll provide alternate links for you.

Regards

DB.

Wilztei,

Place an order on the store as normal, however when the paymate window opens for your credit card details, close the browser window and open up a new one for paypal. Make a paypal payment to accounts@irissimulations.com and be sure to mention the product you're after and your store details (name and date of birth) so that we can match your paypal order with your store order.

Once that's done and payment has cleared, I'll authorise your store order for you and notify you by e-mail of your download.

It IS a manual process not automated, so if I'm in bed asleep or away from the desk, you'll have to wait until I'm back before I can authorise the download.

Hope that helps..

David.

I bought the F-14 and I thank you for the great discount

But - I cant seem to get the jet engines started - even with ctrl-E

engine one begins to spool - the MFD's show one second of life...and then its like the power is cut off completely...

cant start the ol' bird to save my life - what is the cure?

Just wanted to thank David for the sale, Thanks David!

I picked up the F14 and A10. Both downloaded and installed fine on my Win7 64bit.

Now let's see how my credit card is at resisting further this month! (resistance is futile).

Heywood,
Open the pdf manual in the folder called IRIS Pro Series>F14 Tomcat>Manuals & References. go to page 34, 35. It has the pre-start and start checklist there. You will have to manually turn on the L and R gen switches, the lights and the HSI and HUD. Be sure to turn on the ECS (envrionmental control system) as well. Works 4.0.

Good luck. This is a great aircraft.

Cheers.

Not usually active on the payware front, but this sounds like some good deals coming up. Will sure watch it, and eventually get the one or other item of your collection! Lack of credit card would mean Iīd do it the paypal way to, if that is ok...

December 8th, 2010, 10:12
Yeah I do, I have all iris' releases bar the BD5 which I'm waiting to see if it drops to $5 but the Vulcan is immencely good as is the F20 the Vulcan you need to start up manually where as the F20 is a ready to fly model, both come highly reccomended especially the Vulcan by me!

I'd quite like to have the F-14 while its $5 but, almost inevitably, the email address and password I used for purchasing the Iris Vulcan are no longer recognized, so I cant log into the Iris store. And I'm not creating another account at this time of night. Ah well....

djscoo
December 8th, 2010, 13:23
The sale is 18 days long, and there are 18 products in the store, will there be a different product on sale for $5 each day?

Smudge
December 8th, 2010, 13:35
Yes, as indicated on the front page of the store and my initial post here, there's a new product every 24 hours at 5 dollars.. :)

That being said, the 50% off all products applies across the entire range until Jan 1st 2011.. (excluding our christmas release (if I can finish it in time)).

Smudge
December 8th, 2010, 13:58
Just to make it clear (and I'll be putting an post on the front page of the store to reflect this)

Back earlier in the year we got hit by a massive phishing attack and our servers in the states were instructed to take the IRIS site offline. Many of you would remember the complete redesign, the lack of our own online store for many months until now.. :)

We were instructed by the server admins not to use any of the old data hosted on the server with the new rebuild, so as such, ALL old store data was archived in hard copy here with me.

The bottom line is that everyone will need to re-register, be them new customers or old. If anyone needs a re-download of an old product purchased on the IRIS store, we can accomodate you.. It just means I verify your purchase here before providing download links.

Make sense? :)

I have a question about the Audioworks F-16 sound pack. Is that an upgrade to the sound pack that already comes with the F-16D, or the same thing?

Bone, it's exactly the same thing... It's mainly designed for those wanting to add some military sounds to other fast jets... doesn't HAVE to be an F-16.. :)

Sorry Dave, didn't read the entire thread all the way through. I also sent you an email requesting my old account before reading all of this. So, to be clear, my account will no longer reflect all of my purchases? I do have them downloaded, but back ups are always a good thing. Off to re-register then.

Don't need to wait for long Killbilly! Our Five Dollar Frenzy for the 9th December 2010 has just been listed, a little earlier than expected too!!! For 24 hours only the IRIS Pro Series Christen Eagle is just $5.00!!! Go nuts!

As i've got to get dinner (it's 7.45pm here) The F-14 will remain on special until I get back, so grab it before it goes back to its usual price!

Makes sense. I just re-entered all my old details and I'm in there.

What does NOT make sense is I am now looking at the Iris F-14 in all its glory, with its multitude of squadron repaints and weapons configurations...and I only paid $5 for it.

I'm not a fan of fast military jets in FSX by any means ( the Vulcan notwithstanding..its bigger and more cumbersome, which suits my flying skills ) and would never have bought this had it not been for the price. When something this good is on offer at that price, I don't care how fast and pointy it is.

The Iris FSX F-14..a thing of beauty, and for $5. Bloody nora ! Merry Christmas, Smudge.

Smudge, please consider making it the $5 special once again before Christmas. The F-14 is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed, and even to a civilian propeller-head like me, utterly irresistible.

Many people will have missed the opportunity to acquire her, and I'm sure they would appreciate a second chance.

December 9th, 2010, 01:34
Yes, I would indeed like a second chance on that one - I must have yesterday misread the website and thought it would be $5 until Christmas . .

Being in the situation I'm in makes it hard for me to justify spending anything regardless of cost. For $5.00 and, the fact I've wanted the Christian Eagle for a long time, I thank you for this opportunity to finally get it at a fantastic price. I'll be flying (and painting) this one for a long time.

Thank You David


Purchase and download were problem free :medals:

Smudge
December 9th, 2010, 13:42
I can give you an advanced notice that the A-10 and DA-42 are soon...very soon.. :)

The A-10 will have two or maybe three runs depending on how successful it is...

CP1207
December 9th, 2010, 14:50
Well, what a marvelous Xmas present(s) from Iris!

Two bought, several to go.
The F-14 is going to push me into a long overdue RAM and CPU upgrade, knocks me down a few FPS over Friday Harbor w/Orbx scenery and sliders further to the right than they should be. Usually getting 15-20 FPS with simpler A/C on my system for reference.

The Eagle is the first aircraft I have ever flown except by accident from the tower view. Smoke on, throttle up, and Wow! I get to witness my own airshow:jump: ... and remember why I quit flying radio control models...
Just great fun to throw through the virtual sky from inside, outside, or on the ground.

Edit- just saw the post above, paid full ticket for the A-10 last month and have no regrets. Great model. Huge fun to fly through the mountain valleys in PNW!!!

Click on 'My Account' in the red bar , upper right, between 'Log Off' and 'Cart Contents'

In the top Previous Orders pane, click on the order you made...it has the order number, the date, your name, country etc.

You will now be looking at the Order Information page. Down at the bottom, just above the Back button, should be the Download Links pane, with the actual link in red. Click on that, and the download prompt should appear.

Your debit card must not be one of the major ones, Mastercard or VISA. They took my MC debit card. (The major ones can be used as a credit card also.)

Picked up the F-20 last night. I've had the FS9 version since it originally came out, and have always enjoyed it.
Also picked up the new BD-5 set at half price. Thanks David. Be looking for a few more soon.

Smudge

Paymate AFAIK take Visa and Mastercard, both Debit and Credit cards.. (I use my Visa Debit with no issue!) They don't take AMEX though.. suprisingly quite a few places don't these days.

However, we DO take paypal as an option.. there are instructions near the beginning of this thread on how to purchase using paypal.. ;)

thanks Dave,

got the Eagle and Tigershark downloading now and the Diamond Star in my basket. I used to have all your FS9 planes (IRIS) when they were payware and still use them. I'mnot really heavily into X yet, use it to relax and fly without the pressures of tweaking, etc creeping into the back of my mind, so I am quite picky about what goes in X. As an returning customer, I'm sure they will be great.

Picked up the Christen Eagle...a lot of fun (and best bargain Ive picked up since the Cap Sim C-130 for FS9 for $10)!..is there anyway you can disable the front seat passaneger in the two seat variant?..cant see it anywhere in the manual?

Naki, Go into the FSX load manager. Reduce the front seat weight to zero.

David,

is the Texan still FS9 also? If so I'll point it out over in the other forum.

Already got the original Texan and Pilatus, with the free upgrade. Is this one the updated version that was a pay upgrade? Guess I'll figure it out myself, it's already in my basket :d

many thanks,
Jamie

Saw this asked earlier but didn't spot a reply.

Is the AudioworX F-16 sound-pack the same as the sound pack that comes with the Pro Series F-16D Viper or is it an upgrade of some sort? I'm interested in both but would rather not pay twice (even at these rediculously generous prices :applause:).

Desert Rat
December 12th, 2010, 14:13
The Diamond star was Saturday, I bought it, so far I have the F20, F14, Diamond star, Eagle & Texan II. I think I missed the A10 and the initial run of the F14,I could be wrong about those, but if the F14 showed up twice, others may to.

I've had the F20 since release, but didn't try to install it for months, didn't have FSX you see. I got it as part of an old IRIS package, David is good to us, isn't he. When I went to finally install it, found the download corrupt, and was WAY past the limit to download again. Tried contacting David, but was smack bang in the middle of the hack/rebuild, so never got sorted. Soon forgot about it due to my own PC woes.

Now I have her, took her up for a test (RAF naturally) and have to say I like it very much. Just off to test the Eagle now.

Jamie

December 12th, 2010, 14:59
A10, roger that, somebody mentioned it earlier, they must've bought it regardless. Again, I could be wrong.

Just been up in the Eagle, wowza, she's a hottie indeed, in every respect. She is going to be highly addictive I predict.

Can someone tell me how to get the weapons to show on both the T-6 and the F-20? I'm sure I saw shots of the T-6 with bombs and the underfuselage FLIR.......right?

December 12th, 2010, 15:23
On the F-20, press Shift+1 to bring up the ordonance panel, add pylons first then add weapons or tanks.

OMG!!!

I haven't had this much fun in FS in a long time. Texan II from KOLM to KORS with the shark mouth paint scheme!!!

What an ADORABLE little airplane. Well done IRIS!!! :jump:

Guys (and gals), if you haven't picked up the Texan II, you're sorely missing out.

EDIT: Just picked up the DA-42 too!

David thanks for the promotion! Christmas came early this year.

For about the usual cost of one add on I have in 5 days aquired 6 sweet new rides!

A-10
BD-5
Christen Eagle
DA-40
F-14
F-16

I still feel like I'm getting away with something:cool:

For any new owners of the Christen Eagle pay close attention to the effect light has on the exterior of paints such as G-HOST, VH-KAZ, VH-DRB and maybe others haven't flown them all yet. The paint's are worth $5 alone and you get a whole plane with them.

Thanks again,
Rob

Spread the word, there's about 6 hours left to take advantage of the sale.. maybe a bit longer depending on how long it takes me to get home from the school run in the morning.. ;)

Thanks for such a great deal! Even though I am always riding you about future releases, the ones you have now are fantastic, especially at $5.00 AUD. Now, finish up your Typhoon! Rest comes when you're dead. :salute:

December 13th, 2010, 07:42
Wow, Smudge! Thanks for the awesome deal! Bought the T-6 yesterday, picked up four more planes today. I've now bought more Iris planes in the past day than I've bought others all this year. :)

Hope this brings in a lot of cash for you guys! I know it must be hard to sell something for 10% of its value, but if word on this got around far enough, hopefully it made up for it in quantity of sales.

(If it makes you feel any better, I bought the Vulcan for full price at release. :)

lol wow! Getting the Twinstar now! Maybe I'll get something else teehee!

edit: Oh what the heck, got the Christian Eagle as well WEEEEEE!

Thanks again for the sale!

edit again lol: Ooooh the Eagle is really smooth, what a great plane! I haven't read any documents yet, but is there a way to delete the pax from the cockpit?

Anyone have trouble with the rudder on the Twinstar being very squirrelly? On takeoff it's a fight to go straight and in the air it's tough to be in coordinated flight...

Oops. I just tried to log on and pick up the BD-5, which I'd forgotten to get earlier, only to be told by the payment processor that the store was over their quota of transactions. Sure hope he gets that sorted out, or it'll put a premature end to the festivities.
