PayPal was deselected as a launch payment option due to the fact that despite we are verified with them - they could not assure us the account would not be completely locked from receiving any further payments due to a sudden influx of income - this would subsequently present a risk to our activation servers, so we are simply being proactive to keep this launch as comfortable as possible.

Good luck with the release tonight! Make sure to take some high blood pressure medication. 😂

I hate Paypal personally. Not surprising me you are having issues with them...

Ugh.....my preferred payment over the net...but I understand.

If it's only 24 hours...I may be able to wait....besides I think the servers might be a little "busy" the 1st 24 ...and maybe by then it will taper down to only 10,000 hits an hour.🤣

 

ATTENTION VATSIM Controllers:  Be prepared to see all your 737 flights on the radar suddenly switch to A320s....some even while in-flight, LOL.....This is crazy time for flightsimmers!

That could be bad... My African card is working perfectly with Paypal, but rarely with direct payment.

Will see 🤔

Hey Steve - You gonna paint any of these birds once you get a copy, or are you sticking with PMDG for now?

Not sure if intentional but smart to release at 2000z on a weekday. A lot of us in the US will still be at work since that’s 4:00 on the east coast…1:00 out west. Just might save the servers.

Have you tried Google pay or apple pay ? they tend to be very simple and reliable as well.

I think Google pay might work, but it's been a long time

I think Orbx had something similar a few years back when they started taking Paypal.

Except Paypal didn't warn them beforehand & locked the a/c & sat on the funds therein for a period of time.

So funny, its been nothing but Westjet 737's for Canadian controller over the past 2 weeks.  I guess the NOTAM will go out to switch it all over to Air Canada airbuses.

Anyone know if the A320 FMC will be able to import & use flight plans from LittleNav Map, or those created in MSFS Scenario??

Also, does it allow 'pop out' instrument screens from the dashboard? [the ones where you hover the mouse over the screen & a cross appears & if you hit an assigned key, the screen appears enlarged in the top right of your PC screen]
