You might have been lucky!

Now that the sale is over can we turn this into a buyers remorse thread and get feedback from those who regret their purchase?

[warbirds 555]

I bought four planes and all their packages. Happy with all four except 707 will not work in P3D (I know it is not supposed to but I had hopes).

 

777 is amazing with all the toys you could want and the best wing flex I have seen in any model so far.

 

1011 is also very nice and easy to fly and runs great in P3D.

 

727 is a bit dated but still a wonderful model and great fun to fly.

 

All in all a great deal and worth waiting a year for.

I purchased the 727 and I regret it.  It seems running as administrator is an absolute must.   

[jason99vmi 157]

Really?  people are going to complain about aircraft that cost them $12.   Wow.   I think they are great aircraft at that price point.  Now would I pay the full price for them?  probably not. 

 

They are worth the purchase.  The 737, 727, C130 and 777 are all a joy to fly.  Switches work well.  Can do cold and dark starts.

I don't have that problem in either the 727 or the L1011 running either W7 or W10. You may have a security setting that is interfering.

It's not just cost. For example, regretting the time and frustration spent trying to get it to work and/or fixing things it broke.  Regretting trust (for support) given to a vendor.

Good to know.  I will look more into that.

 

You don't login with administrator privileges or run as administrator?

 

Thanks

Same here, works without admin activation.

Well when I buy addons and there is an issue I usually check the sellers forum for answers.  Its how I figured out how to get the QW 757 into P3D and fix the font issue with the FMC.  a little bit of reading produced a 2 second fix. 

 

I turn off my UAC in my Win 10 settings.  I also make sure my antivirus is turned off for download and installation.   And when I install just to be sure I install as administrator.   Not sure if this will fix your problem if not I suggest you check their forums.

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I checked their forums and no answers how to run without admin rights. The vendor also says run as administrator is a must, no workaround (no help there).

 

UAC always off, antivirus  off - and I installed as admin.

 

Its good to know that it should work.   Just need to figure out how.

 

Thanks for your help.

You don't login with administrator privileges or run as administrator?

 

Thanks

Well my login (named) account has admin rights but I am not logged in as Admin and I do not manually run as admin when I start. Not at my flight system so don't recall if I set the properties of the link to run as admin though.

I think administrator rights are required, not login.  If your account has admin rights then that explains why it would work.

Thanks for letting me know.

Bought the 767. Works nicely in P3Dv3.1. Just yesterday someone published new VC textures for it via the AVSIM library. Very nice. A first quick flight was promising. Very functional model. Great bargain at 10 Euros.
