September 9, 20187 yr Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this, although potentially Prepar3D specific, but I had reason to download pmsounds (from the Project Magenta website) which I purchased from Project Magenta about 5 years ago, and found that the download links are not working. For those unaware of pmsounds, it is software which interfaces with FSUIPC to introduce cockpit, engine and radio altitude callouts into the simulator. To be quite frank with you, a useful tool for certain applications. The software which the user is entitled to (through purchasing) is listed under your username, but the download links all fail. I have raised a ticket with Project Magenta Support but all they are saying is that they are aware of this but cannot provide a timeframe for reinstatement of the links themselves. I can see the funny to this that just as you need access to a tool you cannot download it, but I am left feeling a bit cheated by poor customer relations (no explanation on the website for the current status of things with regard to the download links). Furthermore, a request for a personal link for the required download has not been honoured by them. My recommendation is do not buy from Project Magenta at this present time since they will take your money but the website will deny you the right to download your software.

September 9, 20187 yr I spent a not inconsiderable sum on their full Boeing suite back in 2004. Despite a few attempts to contact them through their website to re-activate the software over the years, I never heard back from them. Your post just reminded me of their existence so I tried contacting them again through their online email and it just gave me this message "Illegal characters in POST. Possible email injection attempt" despite using my registered email. Jason E Row Follow me on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/JasonRowPhotography
September 9, 20187 yr Author The suspicion is that they may have hit business difficulties and may no longer be operating. That said, it is worrying that they may be quite happy to take your money and give back nothing in return.
September 9, 20187 yr Two years ago Enrico quickly responded to a question with “I am travelling”... Kathy responded to my activation issues. But like I wrote it is two years ago... 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
September 10, 20187 yr Just checked and also found that the downloads are not working (have been a customer since 1999). But I noticed that the website (layout and colours) has changed since I last logged on a couple of weeks ago. Maybe we just need to wait for a couple of days for the downloads to work again. Somehow I cannot imagine that Enrico would just shut everything down like that.... Erhard I9 11900k RTX 3080 TI 3 x 55" LED TV 4K, 2 more PCs for displays and hardware connection Prosim A320
September 12, 20187 yr Author Just to report that all downloads for me are now working on the Project Magenta website, so a big thank you to Katy at Project Magenta for responding promptly to the ticket I submitted and ensuring that things are back in order again. Sounds like they have had some technical glitches with their new website which are hopefully all resolved.
