Sure, not getting an e-mail about a patch update to the aircraft was a bit of a surprise. I feel it was luck that I ran into the fact that one was available. That the patch was set to expire by May 12 without a notice letting me know there was one was also a disappointment (that I luckily didn't have to endure). Yes, the system showed a bit of weakness today. However, I have to say that I have never had any issue gaining access to my downloads or new activation codes after countless OS re-installs, switching back and forth between Windows and Linux, etc. While DRM is the most frustrating bit of hell modern technology has to offer, the folks at x-aviation have always been able to accommodate me in getting me access to my paid for content. I have complete faith in that if I had missed the window for getting this patch entirely, a short e-mail via the "Contact Form" would have me flying happy in a few short days. A suggestion maybe. It would be nice if all the aircraft on x-aviation were available for download all the time and if activation was as simple as logging in with x-aviation credentials upon install (like the CRJ install but with my download always available to me). For silly computer thrashers like me that would be a source of relief and assurance knowing that my aircraft are always waiting for me and ready to be called into action on a moments notice. In any case. Keep up the good work guys and expect to hear from me again in a few months for reactivations etc. (this CRJ has made it clear to me that my current rig is due for an overhaul.)
