October 16, 20241 yr All my purchases are deactivated. Attempts to login in unsuccessful. Visiting from a google search yields one plane for MSFS with no other pages...where used to be able to activate etc. And they do not respond to email - 4 weeks.
October 17, 20241 yr I noticed something was up with their website a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the Marketplace will be the only interface with their product line. My MSFS 2020 repaints: Flightsim.to - Profile of HStreet Working on MSFS 2024 versions.
October 17, 20241 yr Author Since they maintain an online license portal, that should be a red flag for a cash grab. Unless they have a seperate license arrangement for the one product.
October 17, 20241 yr They just released the turboprop version of the BN-2 Islander for MSFS a few days ago, but I don't see any mentioning of P3D/FSX on their web page anymore. Only products for MSFS.
October 17, 20241 yr its Blackbox what do you expect? a leopard never changes its spots , they might have changed there name but still have the spots. they might be going back to their previous name PSS [ Phoenix Simulation Software] days and rip people off again Edited October 17, 20241 yr by jason74 Jason Richards
October 17, 20241 yr I reached out to them on facebook and they confirmed that they will release their old products as freeware (just taking some time with the migration).

October 17, 20241 yr I had an activation issue last weekend with their A330. I exited P3D, opened the BBS Configuration Manager, found out it was deactivated and then I reactivated it. Somehow it worked. But yes, at one time I had a license issue for two weeks. That and their undelivered promises make me distrust them.

October 18, 20241 yr I meant more that it is good news that they are at least not just removing the products completely (e.g. like PMDG). I agree on the "unfinished" part, and do feel they have acted like quite a scam in in this regard since they marketed them as "early access" and apparently it is ok then to just pull the plug (even though they promised updates), but I still fly their A340-300 from time to time and find it to be a decent "easy to pick-up and fly" kind of aircraft.

I have noticed that it does sometimes flare but that you do not notice it from the virtual cockpit..haha such a weird bug that can really screw up a landing! I do hope someone can solve when its released for free (maybe we will even see someone make some nice PBR updates to the exterior model)🙂 Edited October 18, 20241 yr by Blasb i9 14900K / Corsair Nautilus RS ARGB liquid CPU Cooler / MSI Z790 Tomahawk WiFi / 64GB Trident DDR5 RAM @ 7200 mhz / 24GB Gainward 3090 Geforce RTX / 2 TB SSD WD Black SN850X NVMe / 1 TB SSD Samsung 990 Pro series / 2 TB SSD Samsung 980 Pro Series / 500 gb and 250 gb SSD Samsung Evo 850 / RM1000W Corsair PSU - P3Dv5.4, X-Plane 12, X-Plane 11 and FSX

Somehow BBS tried to replicated the RL flare mode, but went overboard with that.
