Yes they sent discount code in email

Unfortunately that discount is only valid for a week. Mine arrived in the Junk folder so if you haven't received the e-mail you better check it fast.

Haha - so they used the TDS bezel and model (GTN xi) but didn't include TDS support.

Well typical BB. There are some good, there are some bad and there are some ugly. I wish they step up their game in visual department.

Yeah maybe not the most refined modelling/texturing but that wannabee GI 275 is pretty cool

I've purchased the BN-2, but I can't find a discount email. Can someone who got the email say when it arrived and what the subject line was?

Just reading that TDS isn't supported. No bye for me for sure. Too bad.

Missed out on the discount, and as a result, Blackbox missed out on a sale! Call me cynical, but offering such a limited timeframe for existing customers feels more like "we want to appear to care about our customers, but in a way that minimises the number of people who actually benefit." Other developers are even honoring past purchases in older sims. Ultimately, it's their business and their decisions, but my advice to blackbox would be to reconsider how they show appreciation to their existing customers. This approach leaves a more bitter taste than if there had been no discount at all!

I like Graham and have everything he has released so far... Two things stand in my way - no TDS support is one, but it will come. The bigger issue is that instead of a tablet or clipboard, he inserted a mandatory icon on the toolbar that lets you configure the aircraft that is stuck there when you are flying anything else with the message "aircraft not available". This is where I can't support this until/unless it's changed.
