Well, I just got back from my favorite hobby store with a brand new copy of RFD G2 w/interface. I was set to try it out with my transmitter. Until I tried to install it and found the nice "RealFlight Deluxe G2 Upgrade" sticker on the CD case instead of a serial number!
Of course, it is Friday night at 6:00pm. I called my hobby store and talked to Stan. I bought the last copy of RFD G2 they had in the store. I sent email to the software support folks. Automated response (yes, I replied to it). I tried called help support. I quickly discovered that they have the WORSE voice mail system that I have EVERY encountered. Bar NONE!
So, it looks like it will be Monday before I even get any kind of word on my serial number. How fun. Yes, I could take the program back to my hobby store and get a refund than go get it at another local hobby store (there are at least 3 other hobby stores in my area that carry it), but Stan and his employee's have always tried there best to take care of me, so my money stays with them. I do have to admit, I was kind of disappointed when I first found the forum and saw how many people were having trouble just installing the thing. When will they learn that that kind of agressive copy protection doesn't stop the pirates, but it DOES piss off legitimate customers? Never would be my guess.
Ok. End of rant.
