Hi ! If you buy it, how many time did you expect the code ? Mine is awaited since 12 hours, which is probably normal, but I'm afraid it could be lost in some spam box...
I don't remember for sure, but I think the codes at SSW are generated or validated by a human person, which means it could take a while during the weekends...
On theirwebsite they say that it may take a maximum of 48 hours. Add a day to that forunforeseen troubles, to give them a little leeway, I would say, to be on the safeside.
Ok, thanks. Since I received any mails from SSW in the buying process (only from pay pal), I feared that the reponse to the susequent activation request could be lost...
I have to say again. This is great plane, it looks good, has a nice VC, working radar, moving map display, working weapons, and a smooth FDE allowing trouble free VTOL operations. It may be the most complete Harrier experience available and deserves more attention.
It's been over 48 for me, but I'm ok with the wait over the weekend. Even with the pauses and missing textures, the model looks the part.

Request at 21:00 yesterday, key received today at 15:30. Fair.
Good evening everyone,
we would like to explain the procedure by which the activation keys come to you
1. You buy the software
2. You have the download link in your account under "View my orders"
3. Download the software, many of the models that we produce are distributed in two installers:
- One contains the core files and that's what you buy
- Another contains the textures and liveries, the link to the download is free and obtainable on the page that describes the model itself
4. You install the core files, the installer shall ask you if you want the activation key (you may already have it)
5. The installer sends us the registration file tailored on your computer, typically the name contains ssw.<model name>.probe.ssw
6. We generate the key manually and dispatch it to the email address you entered into the installer prompt.
This process takes some time, sometimes it ends within minutes, sometimes even a day, depending on the time zone and office hours.
Although we continue to generate keys every day including Sunday there may be delays, of this we apologize.
Quite often it happens that email providers block our attachments containing the activation key for no reason and without notifying you, for this reason we ask you to immediately open a ticket on the help desk if you have not received the key within 48 hours, we will to attach the key to the ticket you opened.
Thank you

Hi SSW1,
I purchased and installed on Feb 5. Did not receive a key by the end of the week so went to the website and sent an email with info as described in the FAQ. The email was sent 2/10.
Still have not gotten an activation key.
What else do I need to do?
Hi everyone !
I'm very surprised by the general shape of the 3d model, much better than the first 2012 version that I tested, and imho even better than the competiton, which is very good. That's a very good surprise. It's not the same with the cockpit, hugely improve, but not at such an extend. That said, that's a very good cockpit.
I've some installation problems, and I do not find an installation documentation, just some docs with flight procedures. My first concern is that I must validate two dll's at each launch : first at the launch of fsx, second for the flight itself. Each time... I suppose it's not normal. I made a reinstall, with version 3.3.2, but still have the problem. An other problem is that at some point the flight pauses.
My first supposition is that I've missed something. Does someone have a suggestion before I go to the SSW support ?
Thanks !
Yes,
go to SSW help desk, is the quickiest way, we cannot assure a constantly watching of SOH forum.

BTW
Detailed installation instructions are on the site under the left column menù "HOW TO..."

No joy. Even get error notice trying to get an activation code.
Hi Corvette,
sometime happens that some system is misconfigured, especially if it is WIN10 with wrong or misconfigured writing permission on sim root folder.
We suggest to strictly follow instructions on:
http://www.simskunkworks.com/store/i...all-our-models
and take a read of FAQ here:
http://www.simskunkworks.com/store/i...-help?view=faq
And as usual use the help desk, is the fastest and easiest way to get support.

Guys, to my experience, any issue with SSW products, either activation or other is promptly addressed and solved via the helpdesk. They can not offer prompt assistance here as they can not monitor all posts. It seems that the somewhat complicated SSW activation procedure is the main subject of discussion in every thread about their products and their true value is not given the attention it deserves. I admit myself that I hate having to wait at least a day to be able to use my purchase, but a little patience never hurts, if this is the way they decided to protect their work.
Anyway, here is a short video of landing the AV-8B on Aerosoft's Kitty Hawk. Not a standard carrier and not standard flying, approach and landing procedure, just having fun:
https://youtu.be/MAfDh_PFoLg
Notice only than in real procedures for Harrier pilots never landing on carrier deck looks like this. The approach is from the right side (with the same speed in the final approach), not direct to carrier.
Your video reminds me my old movie with Razbam model:
btw. haven't yet this new model of SSW but it's on my priority list as "must to have" model in my hangar
(Im waiting for new version of TacPack for P3Dv3 with hotfix3, not yet from VRS).
My wallet must take a little breath but this SSW new Harrier looks so good : )))) !

That's why I said "non standard approach" Yo-Yo.
I've done the standard approaches using the Ark Royal model. It is far more realistic as the deck is not angled and one can apply the sideways landing technique.
This colud be nice for this: LHD-2 done by DeltaSimStudio.

unfortunately they sent me a refund instead of an activation code.
Hi Corvette,
the refund of 0.1 € was done since is the only way we have to get in contact to you.
Did you read the message in refund notice ?
It said:
Because we knew that you had not received the key wanted to contact you in some way, we thought our effort was appreciated...Since long ago comcast.net refuses all our mail with:
"processed by the mail server: <hidden>@comcast.net; Failed; 5.1.2 (bad destination system address) Remote MTA mx2.comcast.net: network error"
please open a ticket on our help desk.
apparently it did not happen :-(
regards

BTW:
Still waiting an help desk ticket to be opened, is the only way to contact with you.
That message did not appear in the refund email I recieved . I was able to get a help ticket put in. Thanks , Ive been looking forward to a good Harrier !
