Decline messages can be from many reasons. I used to get declines and then I had to call my bank and have them reactivate the card for Internet purchases.In many cases, calling the bank can clear it up. When declines come from the bank, there is little we can do on our end to get it through. The customer has to call the bank.Alternately, PayPal can get around some of those bank declines if you are already funded in the PayPal account.

Definitely do not apply the hotfix over 2.04. You must have 2.08 (SP2) before installing the Hotfix. Installing it into an earlier version will overwrite your main EXE and not likely run. We note this on the download page.

The best place to go is the official product forum.

Go to the iFly support forum where there is a fix for this.

Why would we ever suspend a refund policy? We are very satisified that this is a great release to build upon.Maybe I misunderstood what you mention.

Those are usually just guesses done by sites that may carry a boxed version. It usually has nothing to do with the reality of the product. Always get release info direct from the publishers when it comes to release planning.

For those trying to get to the MilViz website, there is trouble with the MilViz server and they are in touch with the ISP. The main guy at MilVis also just had a newborn baby arrive also! So in the mean time, feel free to post 310R questions at simforums.com in the support forum there.

iFly is making it for BOTH FS9 and FSX. It seems it was a good decision. First, there were enough FS9 users to make it a reasonable progression on the way to the FSX version. Bug fixes, features, etc, that are going into the current FS9 version will go into the FSX version.I do have to admit that I have not focused a lot on FS9 recently, but I can say this. Some of the pictures that FS9 users have posted of the product have been close to astonishing. I think that what has happened is that many users that have stuck with FS9 for so long have really gone through the trenches to tweak and expand FS9 to be something they do not want to let go of. Not that this user group is huge, but they are terribly (in a good way) dedicated to FS9. And as FSX ages, it will likely get the same status.If you see all the pages of this screenshot thread... http://www.simforums...topic36077.html you will see what I mean.Personally, I am an FSX person, BUT, I can now see why FS9 has stuck around, and rightfully so!So I would have of course advised to develop for FSX if you had to pick one only, but in this case, it seems to have worked out well.

If someone uses a stolen credit card, or someone gives it to a friend who does something else with it using bad intentions, there is not much we can do. Lets not steer this thread, but the industry does depend on the honest folks :( ...

We will add it to the full installer pretty quickly... Just making sure all is well with the update.

There may be a misunderstanding. Regarding price, the $14.95 mentioned was if you wanted to upgrade from the FS9 version to the FSX version (you would have both versions).

About the question regarding the press release... it should be going out tomorrow.

When you see user repaints like this (done by Philipp Wittmann), it does make you see how FS9 still is quite nice...

A quick note from a publisher, which may offer something concrete... using cursory numbers, I would estimate FSX addon sales are in the 3x range of what FS9 numbers are. Which is to say that if there are 100 sales of an FSX title, the FS9 title has 33.There are many other factors that come into play, but the above is not an unreasonable estimate. So, there are still some legs left to FS9, but starting develoment from scratch now on FS9 products may be more risky. There still are chances for some successes though. And if you go to the iFly forum and see some of the very nice pics posted by users, you can see why FS9 still is viable in certain circles.

The product uses Navigraph data, so data can be updated if required.

If it is with UT2, it usually has to do with a corrupt SimConnect. If that is the product, go to the UT2 support forum and search that for some answers.

Just a quick note that Aerosimulations left the industry, and Flight1 has the code base and we have been releasing updates recently, and moving the product along in various directions.So yes, it is not handled by Aerosimulations anymore. Most everything was turned over to Flight1 for handling.

If the false-positive is in the Flight One Software folder, it is not even the wrapper. You can get false-positives from maybe 40 different security products out there, and it is near impossible *not* to get false positives.If you go to http://www.virustotal.com/sobre.html you will see a list of what software companies are up against these days. Especially when you ship files that in some cases are near 2 gigibytes in size, it gives a lot more oportunity for a false positive.

If the config tool does not run, then your EXE.XML file has invalid data in it.See my post in simforums.

I do not know much about camera defninitions, so I can only answer the part about the EZdok engine in that the effects are clearly happening through the engine, meaning that if EZdok is shut down, the effects stop happening. It is highly integrated through SimConnect through reads and writes to control what is happening.

I do not think it forces a redraw... It is more like the parameters are set and on the sim redraw cycle the sim grabs those parameters and uses them.

In the VC, you can move around with full freedom. Hold the center mouse button down, and use the arrow keys for forward, backward, left, right, and Pg Up/Dwn keys to move your head forward or backward. You will move forward in the direction the mouse points, like a 3D game. It is a full 6 degrees of freedom.

Yes! 64-bit is OK.

I think it is OK on 64-bit systems now. Many 64-bit users are using it now!There will be an update soon to help in other situations, but I think it is OK for 64-bit users to get the product.
