Thank you for your reply on the "Disappointed" thread topic. I guess I ruffled a few feathers on the forum.
As per your request, here are the specs on my computer:
ASUS H87M-E LGA 1150
IntelCore i7-4790K Quad-Core 4.0 GHz
Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600
GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit
PCI Express 3.0 Video Card
Dell S2716DG nVidia G-SYNC
Window 10 Pro 64-bit
Platform:
Prepar3D Ver. 3.1 Professional
To make the evaluation fair, I tested several of the other non-standard aircraft that I have purchased to make sure all controls and functions work properly. All aircraft from other vendors worked as designed.
I believed that I had stated the issues in the last message. As mentioned, there was absolutely no sound, and flight controls didn't function at all. Once again, no visible movement was shown in graphics. The cockpit lights will come on, switches will turn on and off, and throttle and mixture will move in and out, but only with the use of the mouse, and although these components move, they will not activate any equipment on board the aircraft. In other words, if I throw a switch, nothing is activated. My PHYSICAL flight controls, i.e. stick and rudder, will not activate anything in the cockpit. All other aircraft that I have tested work fine with my controls. I thus have to use the mouse to make anything work.
And yes, I did due my "due diligence" at the Maintenance Hangar. This is the report that I received when I opened up the hangar:
Airframe: Cessna 172R 0.0 hours
Report:
General Condition: inspect engine prop destroyed
Notes:
Our battery appears to be shot!
Both brakes are shot!
Both left and right landing gear need a major rebuild!
Both main tires are shot!
Replace nose wheel!
We have some bad oil leaks…
I did attempt to fix each item according to the pilot's handbook, with no success. I went so far as to press the "complete overhaul" button on the bottom right-hand part of the notepad, to no avail.
So you can see why in my frustration, I mentioned the fact that if this were a real aircraft, the insurance company would probably total it out. Sorry if people misunderstood my intentions.
I expected to open this package up much like you would open any purchased software package, such as Microsoft Excel, and start using it. When I saw the Maintenance Hanger report, it was if I had bought a worn-out aircraft, and I certainly wasn't able to immediately use the aircraft.
I hope this sufficiently explains my issues with this product.
Thanks once again for your response.
P.S. This is the second A2A aircraft that I have had, and I had similar issues with my P51, and just wrote it off as a loss.
