Everything is working as advertised so far on my install. Try a reinstall, hopefully it'll resolve it.

Alright, already the installer is doing something different than the first try. (Ie opening the Operations Center automatically) Don’t select run as administrator seems to be the difference!

Thanks for the tip on the pop-up blocker...I didn't have any 3rd party software, but, did allow pop-ups in the Edge settings...after my 7th attempt (following the change), and the 777 is now downloading!

Wow...50 minutes to wait for the link/key and another 15 minutes or so with the 2 step authentication...

Excellent (I skipped through quick and 320SimPilot always delivers great tutorials) tutorial showing how to go from cold and dark to takeoff. 320SimPilot is type rated on the 777, 787, and the A320.

 

 

Far better purchase experience this time compared to the 737 launch,  A slight wait for the code, and then the download, but minutes compared to before.

Tbh, kinda glad I don't like airliners. Seems expensive. Not just the price of the plane, but the hardware to run them lol. From a layman's perspective though, it does look good. I think it's going to be loved by the community.

I look at it this way, the commanche is $50 for a GA, and extra $27 seems worth it. We spend that on a fast food meal that we will poop out in a day lol 

1.5 hours and still no download email for me. Not sure if many others are having to wait this long?

I'm in the same boat. Hour and a half and counting now

Consider yourself lucky 😉

I'm still waiting for email for more than an hour. All good though. Off to dinner and a nap.

Update:

K-okay. It took 2:40 mins, but got the email with the D/L link. Then another 20min faffing around with getting the download to work. These guys....it's like their a family member or something. Love then while hating them.

Good meal

This really is hard to believe that it takes that long to generate a key but I understand they tie to your name, among others things? I assume? 

Waiting for email people... Might be in your spam folder, worth a look?

Finally installed together with @SteveDra 's fantastic toothpaste ACA livery...can't wait to set up and fly!

It's more likely to not be a matter of key generation, but a matter of witholding the key and sequecing the release of keys to customers in order to not overload the servers.

Thanks for the tip, but it's not there either. I see in my PMDG account that I don't have a download link or activation key for the 777 either (while those details are there for the 737), so I guess they just haven't processed mine yet.
