Simmo W Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Finally, x-a says 'Preparing for Shipment'. Ha, I thought I ordered mine early! Quote
MacAviator Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Mine has arrived. I'm watching the installer window on the second monitor now. Quote
Cameron Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Finally, x-a says 'Preparing for Shipment'. Ha, I thought I ordered mine early!Cool! It's been crazy for everyone, Simon. I guess we should have expected no less though, huh? Not exactly a "bad" thing for any of us....even as users. Just means more people coming over and a big market to develop for! Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Ordered from Laminar the day the demo was released early in the morning while downloading. Still waiting for my stamps.com shipping confirmation. No worries though, so busy with workI would not have much time to install right now anyways. Quote
Simmo W Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Yes cam, I'm not that bothered, ESP as patches are flying out and Seattle is a big place to explore. I really hope for you all that this does take off well! And yeah, hopefully the market for addons, ESP scenery, gets much bigger to justify the investment in time. Quote
OlaHaldor Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 It just updated. "Processed through sort facility" in Miami. Quote
wotaskd Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 DVDs arrived today Installing DVD 7 out of 8... Quote
karingka Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 So Cameron, sales going better, worse, or as expected? Quote
Cameron Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Sales are better than any of us really anticipated. We knew it was going to be big, but obviously everyone's judgement was off a tad. Anyhow, we're rapidly getting through orders as quickly as we can!I see Whiskeyportal has stated disappointment here in his shipping status, but it would be no less different anywhere else! Jim Kallinen's post shows just that...and he ordered SAME DAY it was put up from Laminar!What about you, Mateus. Did you not end up ordering at all? Quote
karingka Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Good, good. I did, but I had to go from Laminar, due to some complications (I will be travelling when my package will arrive, sadly, hence the "complications"). Either way, I've learnt to have lower expectations regarding release and shipping dates of X-Plane software, so, when it does come, you are even happier than you would have been if your expectations were higher. For example, the CRJ-200. I had waited quite a while, and there had been some "close calls". So I kind of put it in the back of my mind. Then, the fateful day arrived (a Sunday, if I'm not wrong?) when it did come out. You announced, and I was so excited and happy!! One of the first to buy, I think.

Redfisher Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Good, good. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what profit percent does X-A get from their X-Plane 10 sales? You can't be serious. Quote
KeldWN Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I have chosen the Metalbox edition from Aerosoft ( Live in Denmark ), so i'l have to wait a little bit more But thats ok. Just gonna watch ALL you other guys making videos and finding all the good things in XP10. Also it will be great to read all of your tweak guides for maxing out the fps.Great times ahead Quote
Simmo W Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 You can't be serious.Red, K is VERY young, so young it'll make u sick. But yes, the young padawan has much to learn.K, Cameron is probably making nil profit, after shipping, tax, 'meal allowances' and 'other employee entitlements' :-) Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Jim Kallinen's post shows just that...and he ordered SAME DAY it was put up from Laminar!Laminar must really be backed up with orders, still have not received any confirmation from stamps.com of shipment.Should have waited and bought from you Cameron. Oh well. This is my order number from Laminar, should be about a week out yet.MEYER-000000047291 Edited December 8, 2011 by Jim Kallinen Quote

Cameron Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Hey Jim,You did order from X-Aviation, yes? And you are in MN?I'm in Los Angeles...trying to guess when my copy will arrive... : )Jim ordered on the first day it went up for sale from Laminar. If you have ordered from X-Aviation you can check your order status by logging into your account. We have three phases of order status:1. Processing2. Preparing for Shipment (means your order is the next batch out)3. Shipped - With tracking number (Customs tracking # provided for international buyers)Products are shipping and being processed as quickly as possible. We're working night and day to process orders very quickly!As with Laminar and the org, X-Aviation has been shipping as DVDs come in from UPS in multiple batches from the replicator. We all receive our shipments from the same company. Hang in there. We're rapidly going through these at a fairly quick pace now! Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Installation completed, now to update. Did not take as long as I thought it would to install. Quote
Xflyboy Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Everyone that has gotten their disks seem to be very happy, even the FSX people, from what I've seen on various forums.It's not even optimized yet, this is gonna be a great year for X-Plane! Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Going to take me longer to copy over all my planes and scenery then it did to install and update. With over 200gb of planes and scenery. Quote
