DREW..with Sim Market, you have to buy the "download insurance" they offer in order to reactivate your downloads I have ordered
one product from them before and only noticed this "caveat" AFTER I bought from them. So, even though I supposedly have 20
downloads remaining, if I needed to download the product again due to a pc crash, upgrade or whatever, I would need to pay them
additional $$ if I go past the expiration date of the original download, which I think is a couple of weeks from the original download. What
a biiiiiatch of a way to do business,huh?

Drew:

"If i buy from simmarket, i can get it for £2 (uk money) cheaper than if i get it direct from fs2crew.com - how strange is that?"

Hahah, I don't usually quibble over two quid, hahaha

Thanks for the Poll... I'll take the high ground and not vote for myself!

For those of you who are wondering what FS2Crew does, basically I take a high end 3rd party plane like the ATR, PMDG 737, LDS 767 or PMDG 744 and enhance it. FS2Crew is like an addon for an addon.

Not only do I add a whole crew (flight, cabin, ground, company, etc), I also add new effects and systems (to a degree) to the original aircraft.

For example in the 767 Edition I added visible bird strikes (complete with smashed glass) and St. Elmo's fire.

We do single versions for each aircraft because customization for each aircraft is the only way to get real detail. Interfacing with custom coded 3rd
party airplanes is not easy, each one has to be approached and treated differently.

Each version is modelled on one airline's real-world SOPs, so what you're seeing is pretty close to what you'd see at the associated real airline.

If you're interested, I'm currently working on a version for the PMDG 747.

Check out a very short video here.

Note: FS2Crew and the excellent FSPax compliment each other in many ways. Using them both will help round-off your sim experience.

Contrary to what some people think, they do not do the same thing. They are in fact very different with very different goals and objectives.

[Drew]

Welcome Bryan.

I still haven't managed to take off yet but ive got as far as Taxiing to the runway

Ivo, the secret to that is..................................... to not have a wife

come on drew, give us a little review.

I was thinking about getting it but I'm not sure. How is it on the Frame Rates? Is it realistic? do you like it?

Sorry but, no amount of FS addons can EVER compare to a wifey!

Yeah, I know. Now everyone's thinking -



By the way, I just downloaded the manuals for the PMDG 737-700. If I take the plunge on that, I may "have" to do FS2Crew for it as well.

Maybe I'll pull out the default B734 version that I already have and do a video.

For a small ammount extra you can purchase a download protection. But normally on Simmarket the link is valid for X number of times,
but it's still up to you to back it up.

Ive only actually managed one flight with it, but 1st impressions of it are good. You really need to know how to start up the plane from cold
and dark before you start using it though, or things will get really tricky.

Give me a few more flights and i'll report back

[Airliner]

CRAP!! CRAP!! OH, DOUBLE CRAP!! TRIPLE CRAP AND A PILE OF SNOT!!!!!




Somehow, after my last reformat and junk, I lost my FS2Crew Key for the default 737-400!!!!!!



Anyone know if there's anyway to recover it from the FS2Crew site?

[xhado13]

Now im not the smartest guy in the world but is it possible to do a system recovery to a few days before, get it from there, then undo the
recovery?

If not, like I said im not the smartest guy

[Airliner]

No, that won't work. First, I turned of system restore to save space. Second, I thought I had it backed up on a CD but that seems to have
disappeared and the file on my backup HDD also "disappeared." I emailed them to see if I can get the key back from my purchase
records.

Oh well. Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and get PMDG and that version. I printed their manual last night - YEESH! About 2 inches
thick!

Do you have the original e-mail the key came in?
