2nd thoughts on 2024 version? Steam refunded me.

Featured Replies

I bought the Standard 2024 on steam. Had second thoughts because some of the new deluxe and premium planes began to look good to me.

Bottom line: I asked Steam for refund on 2024. 42 minutes later they emailed back that the refund was given.

However, in the "reason for refund" box when I applied, I said that I wanted the Premium version. They may not have refunded if they thought I was going to later downgrade, instead of later upgrade. So far I have not purchased the upgrade. Did get the refund.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

  • The drawback is floating a loan to a multi-billion-dollar company.    Only in the gaming industry do people prepurchase a game that is NOT limited in the number of copies available.

  • If you pre order the limited edition version like me, you later find out the “limited” part refers to it limiting your access to the simulator until mid December. Thanks aerosoft 

  • Refunds of pre-orders are always guaranteed on Steam. I don't think it matters what you put as the reason. You're also guaranteed a refund for released products if you do it within 2 weeks of buy

LOL Now that’s a fine example of slick in action. Go into politics now, while you’re hot!

You're also guaranteed a refund for released products if you do it within 2 weeks of buying it and you have less than 2 hours in it.

Any benefit to pre-ordering?

Yep. Steam's refund policy is basically no question asked until you play a game for 2 hours, or until 2 weeks after the purchase, whatever applies, and neither apply for pre-orders unless there's an early access.

Good decision! I've pre-ordered the Premium Deluxe version too.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Bummer. Perhaps Aerosoft could give a temporary license to bridge that period.

I think Microsoft are trying to come up with a solution. Microsoft (Jorg) only became aware of the issue from the chat window on one of their live streams and were quite surprised to hear about it as aerosoft hadn’t told them !

The reason you want a refund doesn't matter if you are within the refund guidelines.
