I totally agree.....But why anyone would 'stress' over this is beyond me....As a retired Fireman maybe I am wired differently to most,nothing these days phases me,least of all waiting for a favourite module to be released,lol.....It's a computer game guys,it ain't for real,wake up and smell the coffee,go for a bike ride,go fishing,take your Mrs out to dinner but most of all get out there and have fun- 503 replies

F-4E Phantom II Development Update and Release Delay Announcement
Basco1 replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
I'm much the same over the shenanigans,I won't be requesting a refund......but I sure ain't ever going to pre order again,rofl. -
Take that as a NO then....ROFL.

Thanks,yes I have been checking the website,but the stock situation has always read 'Available For Pre Ordering'.Winwing also informed me at the start of the pre-order to check my email daily so that I did'nt miss their invoice notification of payment when it comes through and obviously I have been doing that too.In fact that has been their one and only communication with me.Like yourself,I too have'nt received any updates whatsoever,I have had to find out by myself and do all the research into what is happening re my order. I appreciate your reply,it's reassuring that it's not just myself that is waiting and from your reply it appears this no stock situation is global.....I will give them another few weeks more to sort themselves out then I shall seriously think of pulling the plug on them and buying the Thrustmaster TPR Pendular rudder pedals in favour of their product.One thing is for sure you can rely on Thrustmaster their products are always in stock and their customer service is first class. So far I have'nt been impressed with my dealings with Winwing....they don't come across as professional at all.....I want to order their product,I want to pay for their product....but they don't seem at all interested in my order at all.

It is very apparent that Winwing are struggling to supply the demand...there is a woeful month's wait for UK buyers for re-supply,and obviously there will be a long list of buyers who have to be supplied first.So there is no 'definitive' answer from Winwing.....I get the distinct feeling they don't really know either when they will be able to supply. It's a great product but if you have to wait this long surely they will be losing business.....they're customer service is really slow too....the lights are on but nobody appears to be at home. This is my experience as a UK buyer....it might be a totally different story elsewhere around the globe,I don't know.

Well that explains all to me and I am happy to wait.....that's all I needed,an explanation,so thanks Heatblur this explanation is appreciated. Best wishes to all of the team that are suffering with their health. -
I removed both of my posts as somebody was wetting the bed over the content within them....they did not approve of my opinions. They were obviously quite upset and getting very personal....and as I have no intention of causing any stress to those on this forum I thought it prudent to remove them.

I ordered a set of WINWING Orion/Skywalker Metal Rudder Pedals with the Damper back last Friday 1st March and was notified by WINWING to keep an eye on my email as they would send me the invoice when they were in stock and ready to ship. Does anybody have any idea of the approx waiting time for these? as I have no idea at all and obviously I am very interested,I have tried asking WINWING but to date they have'nt replied. I am a United Kingdom buyer and I believe WINWING now have a UK Sales Warehouse up and running so I would be very interested in any others out there particularly from the UK of how long they had to wait for their order,or if in fact they too are still waiting.There is no rush,I want these rudder pedals but interested in the waiting list time all the same,thanks. Edit: I also presume as a UK sales has been set up by WINWING that the order is sent from a UK warehouse?

Guys are the VSN Aircraft Mods still working with DCS 2.9?.....I am about to install the F-105 Mod latest version VSN_F105 V2.5.6.10 FC3 SFM. However if it is now not working I won't bother.....I have come back to DCS after a three year absence because of the F-4 being released and wanted a few other period aircraft to use merely as AI Map fillers.I see the original VSN download site has now taken off all their mods,and only picked this download up through a search for it. The VSN F105D and G versions look so nice I just had to download them,but I thought I would check here for confirmation of them still working.I will point out I have no intention of flying them.Just to use them within the editor for bombing missions.
