Toposim - the lights are on but nobody's home

Recommended Posts

I recently bought Toposim Planet Earth Bundle (US$50). After paying, I saw downloads for each region but I downloaded just few which I use the most. Now, when I want to download more, it asks me to login with username and password but I can't because I never received any email confirmation and was never asked to create an account. I tried several times to reset the password but confirmation email never comes to my email address.

I really fill like being ripped off. This side looks to be abandoned but it's happily taking your money. I can't even complain on their forum because I again need to login but I can't. I sent an email to their accounts email address but no answer.

This product seems to be great though, for P3D and Western Europe that I tested at least, but I suggest downloading immediately all that you paid for.

Unhappy customer

Probably the quickest way to get their attention is to do a charge reversal (chargeback) on your credit card. 

It's amazing how often the dead spring to life when you try to take back your money...

Are you sure their emails aren't being blocked by your spam filter?

Or it could be that their emails are blocked by a sender policy, or by your ISP. For example, I am unable to send mail from a domain I own to anyone on AT&T's network (or sub-networks, of which there are many) because my email provider's servers seem to be on their blocklist (even though it is a long-established ISP and I have all the correct domain keys and sender ID set up for the domain). AT&T support simply doesn't respond to emails about it, so I've had to give up. Some email servers can't send email to gmail accounts, because Google has them on a blocklist on suspicion of spamming (false positives happen all the time), and good luck getting them to respond to a query about it either. If the sender doesn't realise it, they may not even know they have a problem with customers not receiving emails. See if they have some other contact method (like Discord) and ask them there. 

Edit: Having had a look at their site and forum I see the developer last posted there well over a year ago after promising a new forum 'real soon now', so it looks like they might well be dead in the water. Shame, but a common story. Way too many flight sim products are produced by a solo developer and can literally vanish overnight (Ultimate Traffic Live, anyone?).

I noticed Toposim is still being sold on Simmarket.  Maybe the Simmarket folks can help you out.

Thanks guys for all your replays. Much appreciated.

I registered with my work email and still nothing comes. I checked my spam box too.

Simmarket is selling the product but it's more expensive there so I bought through toposim site. Simmarket won't help with my purchase.

I may try the last resort and request pay reversal on my Paypal.

Regards
