vry Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Is anyone else irritated by the very short 50% off sale (on Virtavia) at FS Pilots' Shop? I set up my order at night, intending to use my credit card the next morning. The sale was off, and things were back to retail. No warnings or e-mails were received. A complaint to FS Pilots' Shop stated that they have no control of the price. It is said that the manufacturers ordain these sales. I think this is a publicity stunt, with a bad odor. First E-mail from FS Pilots' Shop: April 25th 2015 May 2nd 2015 (sale ends) with no warning A Flash sale for 48 hours for the B-29 and Virtavia F-105D (Australia) was also seen. Seedy if you ask me.

Nothing to see here. Moving along... Robert Kerr 3D Modeler & Texture Artist I7 4790K @ 4.4ghz, GTX-970 w/4GB, 8gb DDR 3 RAM, two SSDs, and Win 7 64 bit.

crowbar2k Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 bought a fair few of these addons when they were alphasims property (talking 5 plus years ago). I must admit to being a bit bemused by the high profile plug these virtavia addons get all the time. Given their age there's no comparison with newer mods out by the likes of iris, aerosoft or milviz. Anyone else equally boggled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBS Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Alphasim and now Virtavia have provided us with a wonderful range of products and they are generally pitched at a reasonable price. Not everyone wants an aircraft that requires learning a 400 to 500 page manual. Name one other organisation that has provided the vast range of military aircraft that they have , there isn't one. I admire all the organisations , whoever they might be , creating these aircraft is a huge undertaking , and I appreciate their efforts and products. I hope that I never berate or run down any of them. We are very fortunate with the wide range of both freeware and commercial products that are currently available for us to use in the Flight Simulator.
