If you want to get back at them if you get a 'no refunds' email,

Thats the thing, I had already downloaded it since they were the same price I didn't notice something was wrong till I opened the installer. I never activated it, but I already own it and have an activated copy. I have absolutely no use for something I already own.

I still have not heard anything, I'm beginning to think I'm SOL

Which is why some deserve a nice bite in the ass, a little revenge.

Echoing An-225's comments, it is their product, designed for a very niche market, and, having a respected name in the FS addon industry, they know that people will buy it.
When you think about it, we really have it easy compared to many other hobbies out there, such as train modeling, R/C vehicles, etc.
I understand that it may be expensive to some (personally, its out of my price range), but, after developing a completely accurate aircraft for a program after multiple years of work, I would EXPECT it to be that much. The plane has a lot going for it in terms of accuracy, both inside and out, and PMDG, being in the business for the money, realizes that. If you can't afford it, sorry, but that's just how life is sometimes. I was disappointed also when I saw the expected prices, but there's nothing I can do about it, so I just move on.

I am also very surprised that you've lasted here as long as you have, NitroPower. After that little "pirating" stunt you pulled above, if I was the admin of this site, you would be gone, not to mention some other issues that I have witnessed.

Finally, I'll probably be jumped on for the content above, which echos that of An-225, and I imagine a few others here as well, but yes, you are certainly entitled to an opinion, but it's the attitude that we choose to address the issue in, which makes a difference.

I assume you meant me with that sentence. Call it immature call it whatever you want, but go lose 83 dollars of your own that you worked hard for, on something you already have because of a website screw up, and then we can talk. Either way it wont get solved, PMDG doesn't give a damn, they have my money.

I still have yet to hear from PMDG, and I was quite polite in the email I sent.

I will NOT be purchasing from them again, whether they make good stuff or not.

Okay, everybody,

You've all had your words and thats great. Call me immature and I wont care, ok?

Maybe I am immature, after all, I may be the youngest person in the forums, ever think of that?

I don't make a stable income, I'm still in school. I saved up alot to buy the game itself, and I think it is pretty stupid selling a plane for more then the game it runs in, costs itself. Its like buying a really cool tire for a car that costs more than the whole car by half as much more.

Now, don't get me wrong, PMDG is great. Really realistic and all that junk, but they wouldn't even be able to get all this money if the game wasn't even invented. And the 747 isn't a whole lot better than the default 747 by a whole lot. And yeah the PMDG 747 would take a whole lot of effort and time and brains, But don't you think it would be harder to make a WHOLE game where you had to code for EVERYTHING, not just a tiny fragment of the game.

I'm not saying that PMDG should lower there prices or whatever, I just WISH they would.

And, I wouldn't consider pirating or anything so stop saying my name next to nitro's. Its making me look like I would. AND I have bought Flytampa's St Maarten Complete and Kai Tak, so I do buy payware items so I know what its like. I think even they are overpriced, I don't know why I bought them, they got me at a moment of weakness because they looked so great.

So call me what you want and so on, I wont care. And remember I may be immature because your all probably double my age. So everyone, be the mature adults you are and understand my side.

BYE.
