SIM SKUNK WORKS AV8-B HARRIER II Plus VERSION 1.0.0 RELEASED

[LUCE1]

I didn't mean to come across as ungrateful in my earlier post. I think it's pretty cool that SSW offers a trial (timed-out) version of the Harrier. Wish more payware developers did something like that, as I could have saved some cash over the years on add-ons that turned out to be a bust. However, the process to get it is obviously not working for many folks. I'm still waiting for my d/l link - 2 days later. If I never receive it, no big deal. But the overall process seems to be broken.

In the front page of SSW site in the Harrier intro is written:

THE MODEL IS AVAILABLE AT SIM SKUNK WORKS SOFTWARE WORKSHOP
COMPLETING THE ORDER PROCESS YOU WILL GET LINKS FOR DOWNLOAD

- No word "DONATION" is mentioned here.
- To complete the order process are necessary 2 clicks ("Add Cart" and "Confirm order") nothing else.
- After a while (**) you receive via e-mail with download links and all instructions to install the Harrier
- You can freely try it, if you like it you can donate (to minimum) to receive the key that remove the time limit, otherwise give up
I can't see where is the pain in such process, a lot of users before you have done this way without .
** A while depends on Time Zone and can extend on some hours.

thank you but no thank you

uninstalling it is easier than installing it

im going to wait on razbam, its quick it easy its works straight after install, no emails no waiting on keys

Don't wanna defend or accuse anybody, but it's a pity that a lot of people think that installing this aircraft it's more difficult than applying thousand of tweaks for FSX, REX, GEX, UTEX, ASE, video cards, joysticks, track-ir and so on.
I suggest you to spend 5 minute, in calm conditions, to follow the steps indicated for the installation/activation, and enjoy then one of the best aircraft ever made for FSX.
My 2 cents, regards

[heavy]

My 2 cents and no attacks on anyone....I love this community. I love aviation. The time, skill, effort and smarts it takes to make aircraft for FSX, I do not have. I remember in 2002-2003 wishing all the aircraft available to FS9 and FSX was available then. Now, there is a gang of aircraft I love and enjoy. Accurate or not. So much that sometimes I can't decide what to fly. I have the same a/c from two different developers in some cases just because I LOVE THIS STUFF. It's amazing to me. Please everyone, let's be thankful and exercise some patience and understanding. This isnt America's NEXT TOP MODEL! It's FSX...enjoy!

Back to topic....I STILL have alot of reading to do. And I'm having fun with this jet. I look forward to more updates of this and I will also purchase the RAZBAM Harrier!

I love this stuff!

Thank you SSW...you made my week!

again you anticipate my tought Heavy, thanks.
There are plenty of good models out of there, i personally hope that Razbam hurry to finish the Harrier and I hope it's done very well, Razbam is a guarantee for this, all will be good for users.
If we look at the satisfaction of this community having two Harrier's instead one is a very good thing.
I believe that Razbam, like us, makes model for passion rather than business, a good motivation always produces good results.
I think that this community is a great thing, not worth ruining it for the few, fortunately few, who can not find better to do than complain about everything and everyone.

Back to you, i can assure i have personally answered to each single mail i have received, so it means we cannot get in touch via e-mail for some unknown reason.
I will send you via PM download links to have Harrier, if you can answer me with user id you used to try to register to SSW site i will activate it manually.
regards.

I received your PM, and thanks for trying to work through this in what must be a busy and frustrating time, with so many (some, anyway) having issues with getting it. I have downloaded the files, and tried to get to the instruction page you linked to, but of course you have to be logged in to view it.

So this morning, after downloading, I went ahead and registered again using a different user name, email address and provider, and the account activation link came right through. For some reason, you are not able to contact me (and I am not able to contact you) through Comcast, and I may not be the only one. I don't know where the problem lies, but if you haven't received emails from me either directly or through the contact portal on the site, then there is a problem somewhere.

Anyway, I am now a registered user on your site, and the other registration will either remain in limbo or be cancelled after the account is not activate within a certain amount of time. There is no reason to manually activate it, since it was worked around.

Now that I have the files, I don't have time to install them until tonight, so will look into all of that then.

With the new email address and now-activated account, I'm sure it will go more smoothly, and thank you for your patience and extra efforts.

Now, off to work so I can pay for it.

no problem, it is a pleasure to deal with educated people who respect our work, with these men the utmost patience and willingness, much less with those who treat us with the arrogance of those who claim to know everything and always think others guilty of everything, including their own mistakes or oversights.
Whether you decide or not to donate for Harrier you can count on the best support we can.

As far Comcast provider is concerned may be it has our server/domain in his blacklist, sometime happens. In truth we were attacked by hacker two year ago and our server was blacklisted since was the source of thousands spams per minute, may be Comcast blacklist never was updated in our side.
I never received a single mail from you trough Comcast.

so far so good.

Thanks for the PM link Luce1! Looking forward to checking the Harrier out.

well, I tried to register yesterday, and got my activation link immediatly. I then tried the 0.001E donation, and it seemed to go through. But 24 hours later, no download link has ever appeared. If I go back onto the site, and try to donate again, I get some paypal page, written in what looks like spanish, which I assume is telling me I cannot donate again, or at least that's what it looks like.

So, I have no link, no aircraft, and cannot re-donate! What a great system this is

The minimum donation is required to activate the product as reported in the activation/installation page.....
