Commendation for Flight1

Featured Replies

Just wanted to say thanks for Flight1. I've ordered many products thru them and have always been satisfied. I ordered another today and although visually the product was excellent, for whatever reason fps dropped by half in the VC. Out of respect for the developer, who gets a lot of praise for their work, I won't say the product. My system just didn't have enough oomph to have the performance I am used to with other aircraft. So I decided for the first time ever to opt for a refund. Flight1 was so gracious they processed the refund right away. That's why they are so respected in our community--they have a generous refund policy that keeps customers coming back. I won't be afraid to try other Flight1 products or products sold through their wrapper. They have a great business model, and hats off to them for the respect and courtesy they show their customers.

 

Regards,

Yeah Flight 1 is awesome. I think I might have the product you are talking about, indeed even after I got my i7-2600k overlocked to 4.4ghz still FPS is pretty bad in VC, but I am hopeful that it will be fixed soon enough.

I like Flight1. I just get annoyed when a key expires (too many installs) when trying to re-install and you have to get a new key. FSX is pain enough when you have to re-install so having to get new keys is making a bad thing worse.

 

Other then that all good.

No, you don't actually need to "get a new key." Simply "Reactivate" your existing key. It takes only a few seconds to have the activation count reset... :p0503:

Flight1's 30 day policy is a great business model. It's made me buy more stuff because I'm not hesitant of"losing my money". I've only ever returned two or three products, but bought a LOT from them. They make great in-house products too.

That's what I mean't....but that is because I was going from memory...anyhow it just adds more steps to an already lengthy process.

 

As JV over at ORBX has said, these keys do nothing but cause grief for the legitimate customers as the pirates hack through them anyways, making the need for them useless.

It's been hacked....As for reinstalling FSX and all the addon's from legitimate customers:

 

 

Need I say more....

I cannot remember a single instance when it took more than thirty seconds to use the F1 Unwrapper + Key for either a new install or a reinstall.

 

Reactivating an expired key usually takes no more than one or two minutes...

 

Completely aside from which, for those folks who don't want to fiddle with the key files, F1 has an alternate "keyless" system that -once setup- is completely transparent to the user.

What are Flight1 Accounts and and how do they work? Article ID: 3 Revised: 8/29/2008

Summary:

 

Flight1 uses an optional account system for purchases. This article describes what Flight1 accounts do, why you may want to create one, and why they are optional.

 

Information:

 

Opening an account with Flight1.com is very easy, and no purchase is required! An account can be used at the time of purchase however, and your order will be assigned to your account.

Here are some benefits of a Flight1 account.

For downloads:


  • You can use the "keyless" reinstall system. Simply by entering your correct account login and password, you can reinstall your Flight1 product. No key file is required.

  • All your orders will be listed under a single password. There is no need to remember different passwords.

I had to reactivate a key once, and I was nervous since I had the product for quite some time and thought I wouldn't be in Flight1's system any longer. Sure enough, I was and the process of reactivating the key was quick and easy.

It was the UT2 key that was a pain in the @$$ and took a long time to get going. That one seems to need reactivating a lot. The GEX and UTX stuff not so much.

 

Again this is going from memory as the one thing I really don't like is restoring my FSX machine. If the process is stressful for some and not for others so be it then.....Some of us just really don't like it. FSX never had a restore standard like other software out there now. Steam has a great one that backups and restores software as it is with all the addons and everything. FSX never got that far.

Flight1 is one of my personal favorites because of their return policy. They did a no questions asked refund for me a while ago.
