Unable to download new A2A C172 from Flightsimstore.com

[ncngrr]

I purchased A2A C172 for P3D Academic from Flightsimstore.com on 8/9/2015.
I read the May 2018 A2A C172 forum about how to update and that the A2A Windows Start Menu group would include a new icon that would enable me to update the C172. I uninstalled the C172, downloaded/installed a new copy from Flightsimstore.com, and I see no new icon.

What must I do now to update my A2A C172.

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately, the FlightSim Store no longer seem to be updating their products or providing support to their customers. Please can you send a PM (personal message) to "Lewis - A2A" with your proof of purchase / order details from FSS and he should be able to help you out with this.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I am having the same issue as ncngrr. I hadn't had time to try out the plane until recently (and found the need for the update right away) and sent an email but no response. I also am too new on the forums to PM him. Is there anything else you could help recommend?

Thanks!

Hello,

you need to post first in order to PM, since you now have posted your forum account is ready to go including to PM.

thanks,
Lewis

I just joined the forum hoping I could transfer my Flightsimstore store purchase to the A2A store. Right now I can't download the new P3Dv4 version since it looks like flightsimstore is dead in the water. I'm not allowed to PM since I just joined. Can you help me?

[Lewis - A2A]

Sure you helped yourself, now you made that first post you can PM.

thanks,
Lewis - A2A

Hi Lewis,

I have the same problem with FSS for my cherokee 180 Academic Bundle and i have sent you a mail yesterday .

Best Regards.

I do NOT speak on A2A's behalf about this, but I've made announcements on my Jaggyroad Facebook page, and other places...

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE PURCHASE FROM THE FLIGHTSIMSTORE!

Whatever is going on over there is bad, and I cannot consciously support these reprehensible actions at this time. As long as they continue to trade, and do not provide products for customers, I consider what they are doing a scam.

I agree with everything about the Flightsimstore. I am heavily invested with aircraft, scenery, and addons. Lewis was able to help me transfer my 4 aircraft (Thanks Lewis!) to an A2A account. Now I will always have the most updated fleet from A2A.

Unfortunately I also have about 7 to 8 Carenado aircraft that will not be updated and carenado told me there is nothing they can do about it. They won’t even transfer my fleet to their account. They said they do not support 3rd party vendors. So anyone planning to purchase Carenado and want the latest and updated installers, purchase directly from Carenado. I will not be purchasing anything from them because of their policy on 3rd party purchases.

With ORBX, all my sceneries were transferred to their servers, thank god for that.i

It’s such a shame a company (Flightsimstore) screws their customers over and more so a company (Carenado) providing their products to 3rd party vendors for sale and not helping out their customers when said purchases are no longer being updated. Shame on you!

Congratulations to A2A for helping their customers and going the extra mile to make sure we are able to enjoy our aircraft. Thank you again Lewis for your help. He even responded to my email on a Sunday!

Have the same problem. I forgot about that for maybe half a year and tried yesterday if maybe they updated the installer. They did not. But mainly posting this to unlock the PM functionality so that I can write to Lewis as suggested here And I agree that since they do not resell ORBX products, the shop looks like it's living on its own.

[Nick - A2A]

Welcome to the A2A community Mouseviator.

Now you've posted, you should be able to send Lewis that pm. Please include the email address used for your new account on the A2A store and some proof of purchase from the A2A product(s) you bought from FSS.

Thanks,
Nick

I'm still able to download everything I purchased from FSS in the past but the date of the installer of the C182 is June 2017. I've just created this forum account to be able to send Lewis a PM.

I've got the same problem, unfortunately. The rudder problem of the C172 & co. is not being fixed with the flightsimstore-version.
Will send you a PM
Best regards
