Hi Again,We had a little problem with the download delivery with WINZIP, which has been solved. Those who were affected: Thank you for your patience and we apologize for that inconvenience.The release info thread has been re-created (here).Some have asked about the availability of non-pp payment methods, as some countries do not permit credit card payments. We are working on a solution and hope to have that available soon.Thanks!

Hi once again!Please be advised that our download servers are being extremely stressed at the moment. We anticipate this condition will remain over the next couple days until things settle down a bit.Thanks for your patience everyone...

Damian,Quick question for you....if you have the time.I downloaded Flight One's Environmental package last night but have not yet installed it.Which software should be installed FIRST for the best results....ActiveSky 5 and then Flight One's Environment....or vice versa?I have a couple of hours left while downloading ActiveSky....so I COULD be doing something if I should install FlightOne first.Thanks in advance,Cap'n Tarmack

Hi,We did think of this, that is why we brought an entirely new ecommerce system online just for ASV launch...We are sorry things are so slow at this moment... there are simply too many people trying to download at once. We anticipated a big demand, but not this big!Remember, this is a 350MB add-on (with the high-res textures) and is something that really has never been done before for an online-delivery launch. Considering that there are hundreds of people purchasing/downloading it all at once, it is pretty good that it is still providing downloads for most customers without problem.We are limiting the amount of transactions going through at once right now, so you may see "too many users" or "service unavailable" but please keep trying...We appreciate your patience everyone.. we will get through this!
