Is TropicalSim still in business?

I am a user of SBGL Rio de Janeiro, SBGR Sao Paulo and SAEZ Buenos Aires from TropicalSim.

I have been expecting news from them of efforts to support P3Dv5.

Their forum has been out of use now for several weeks.

Anybody know what is going on?🙃

Hi, how were you able to update SBGL,I know that it has been a while but

did Tropical Sim offer an update? The only way I can get Jetways to move  is 

with SODE, but I would rather use GSX. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan, this is an old topic and after checking at SimMarket it would appear TropicalSim website and forum is not accessible.

The only SBGL airport available was released in 2016 and all TS products are currently on sale.

There is a tutorial on how to create jetways with GSX Pro here.

LATER: I used a website to check tropicalsim.com and the following was reported..

Tropicalsim.com is PARKED
The website is either expired or listed for sale...
 

I think it’s fair to assume the business has closed. No support for purchases at SimMarket. They need notifying.

Have you tried accessing their website? If they’re in business why would it be “parked” or available for purchase?

To be honest those guys have always lapsed when it came to their webpage. It would be down ever so often and be back up later. They haven't bothered with their social media accounts in years. Last I contacted them they were pretty responsive on the email though. And as Gregg_D said, they have been pushing out updates to some of their first gen MSFS sceneries recently. Seems that's just how they operate. 

As for OP, with Tropical Sim it seems if they didn't make a P3D V4 update for their older sceneries I wouldn't expect any updates now. The last year has been V5 and V6 compatibility updates for V4 sceneries and updates of their MSFS releases.

That’s encouraging and was going to be my next suggestion.
