...as I was earlier...
I've never had a problem with this company...
...until today.
I bought the new Lanc from the download shop. All going nicely. I save the order confirmation page which says my account's been debited for £29.99. I download the file...
As I install it, the program connects to justflight.com and asks for the puchase confirmation code, so I go to the proof of purchase file and open it - except it's blank. Oh dear.
I think - "Just Flight are a good company and are bound to have sent an order confirmation email"... Nope... Oh dear...
So I've had to send an email asking for manual activation, and of course being a bank holiday, that'll be Tuesday at the earliest...
Should've bought the boxed version.
More worrying is that the order does not appear in the "my orders" section of my customer account...
Not impressed considering I bought it to mainly use over the bank holiday weekend...

I've had problems with their downloads ...... When it came to reactivating the Flight club aircraft, which I bought individually, the codes wouldn't work. They only work once and if you have to reinstall you need new codes. After several emails I eventually ended up with half a dozen codes for each aircraft, only one for each actually worked.

...and there I am with no codes at all, and no indication that I've bought the thing anymore as the proof of purchase saved as a blank...
Update: The automatic conformation email arrived about 3 hrs later - but why so late - every other online retailer sends them almost instantly?

Tis a tad worrying. I think I'll wait on my purchase....
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

It is quite nice. £30 is a lot though as the Spit package was, and more pertinantly it contains similar variations to Ed Walters Plane Design Lanc... Nothing that different at first sight. Nice Mosquito though...

But the JF/AH Spit package was a great disappointment. I think I'll save my dough for something better.....

Finally found the bit in the manual about operating the bomb doors...
In all the VC versions, it appears you have to operate a lever in the VC, and you can only "drop" the bomb via a button in the models with the bomb aimer's VC modelled. So if you actually want to see the animations then you need a dual monitor set up or mega fast fingers and pc!
On the simple model variation you can open the bomb doors via the tail hook function, but then only get the pilots VC, not the nav, turret and bomb aimer too...
I suppose this is what happens when developers get too clever. What is the point of the bomb and bomb door animations other than for eye candy in FS? You aren't actually blowing anything up!
Other minor(ish) mostly spottery points include the prop blades, all of which are modelled as paddle blades (as fitted to some, mostly later Lancs, including the BBMFs PA474) rather than the more common tapered blades...

Just bought the Flying Club package from Just Flight on CD with the instruction manual.
Works a treat, and because its "boxed" there are no problems with reinstalling it...
...!
I note that the Cessna 152 is fitted with a VOR dial and a NDB dial but no autopilot, and as I like navigating by Radio I have installed the Bendix-King autopilot radio into the spare slot at the top of the radio stack....

I know 152's shouldn't have autopilots, but what the hell, its my plane!...

Aye, nice and simple, with beautiful scenery.
Part of the problem is developers being too clever for their own good. Just because they've effectively VC'd the whole internals, they haven't made any shortcuts for people who don't want to have to climb down "through" the aircraft.
My initial thought are now posted on Just Flights website. Lucky for them IMO that the Plane Design Lanc isn't available in the high street.
