RAZBAM Once in a lifetime sale!

[teeps]

And a thanks from me for the flightsim pilot shop hint Paul. I picked the Buckeye up there with no problem and I'm about to give it a whirl!

[Jagdflieger]

I've been getting the same Paypal message for a couple of days now, both with IE 8 and with Google Chrome.

Any ideas how to make this work?

I think it is just a case of keep trying - after several hours of trying on Sunday it just suddenly worked. I wanted to do it on the main Razbam site, as that meant Ron got the money quicker; but others are going via Pilot Shop, that could be an option.

Hi Racartron
I don't suppose you picked up the Skyraiders and the Skyhawks to sort out the lights on them also?

Regards Paul Day.

[racartron]

Already had the Sky Raiders but never got around to "Shocking" them. An error that will soon be rectified. Same goes for the Sky Hawk. I already had vol 1, but now am fully "hangered" with vol 2, 3, and 4, so lighting will commence soon. Am just finishing up the Intruder as we speak. Also now have the Banshee in the queue.

[hawkeye52]

I'm a bit wary of participating in this sale because a couple of years ago I screwed myself by purchasing a bunch of aircraft I thought were for FS9 and which instead turned out to be for something called "Strike Fighters". I just came from the RazBam store and find that my wariness remains well founded. As an example, there is an Intruder labeled "Strike Fighters" on the cover, but if you wade thru the blurb, it lists the features of an FS9 version and further down, an FSX version. However, the Download box has an option for only Strike Fighters.

Is there a fail-safe way for a simple man like me to know EXACTLY what I am getting?

- H52

[OBIO]

Hawkeye

Just read the descriptions on this store page...the Strike Fighter packages are marked Strike Fighters Only.

http://www.razbamsims.com/store/index.php?cPath=1

If you need any clarification, ask and I will give you a link to the FSX/FS2004 versions of the packages you are interested in.

I can tell you that the Banshees are well worth the money, as are the A-6 Intruder, T-2 Buckeye and Skyhawks packages (I have volume 4 but have heard that the other three Skyhawk packages are just as good). Next month I plan to sneak the credit card out of Deb's purse and pick up the FSX A-7 package and maybe another of the Skyhawks packages.

OBIO

[hawkeye52]

Thanks, OBIO. I'm wading thru it.

- H52

[hawkeye52]

Is STRIKE FIGHTERS a game? A sim? Has anyone here used it?

How does it compare with FS9? With CFS?

Where is it available?

Any other comments?

- H52

[OBIO]

H52

Strike Fighters is a jet combat sim, set in the 60s. It has had a number of forms over the years...but has always been a well thought out and very intense combat sim. I have an older version called Wings Over Vietnam...never did really learn all the ins and outs of it....should install it and see if it runs under Win 7 64-bit.

http://www.thirdwire.com/project_sf2.htm

OBIO

[hawkeye52]

My thanks to you, OBIO. I'm just contemplating recovering my previous RazBam investment!

- H52

[OBIO]

H52

I can assure you that the Razbam planes are definitely worth having in your FS9 hangar. The T-2 Buckeye is a sweet little trainer and I love taking her down in the Grand Canyon to do some HerkyJerk training. The Skyhawks are super fine! I have volume 4....contains my favorite variants of the A-4s (though I do need to look at the other volumes to find which ones contain the variants without the avionics hump...I like the sleek look of the non-humpers). The Banshees are nice.....and will be nicer with some more refined skins (already have a paint kit done for the F2H2 variant....will be a breeze to make up paint kits for the other variants). The A-6 Intruder is superb in FS9. I have now retired the old Alphasim freeware one from back in the day.

If you are going to add Razbam planes to your hangar, now is the time to do it.

OBIO

[hawkeye52]

OBIO, a few days ago -- after your previous post -- I sat down and did some serious scrutinizing of the RazBam offerings and decided I'd purchase these:

A-6A ( I worked on it, so it's the least I can do!)
F2H Banshee ( has always been a favorite; I have a color photo of it in Flying mag from '50 or '51)
Skyraiders Vols. 1 & 2 (another favorite; I have a control-line model of an AD-1 built as a teen from Air Trails plans)
A-4 (I have Ito's, but I only manage to land it about once outta every four tries and even then, I hafta change my shorts. I've always wondered if it's Ito's FDE, so this is my chance to find out. I'm inclined toward vol.2)

EA-6B I'd like to acquire this one but unfortunately, it's only for The Dark Side

OBIO

I have all 4 volumes and only 4 has the humps. Vol. 1 is the early variants including the prototype. Vol. 2 could be called the mid-life and foreign export version pack. Vol. 3 is the 2 seaters although there is a humped version in that if I remember.

[AndyG43]

A-4 (I have Ito's, but I only manage to land it about once outta every four tries and even then, I hafta change my shorts. I've always wondered if it's Ito's FDE, so this is my chance to find out. I'm inclined toward vol.2) ...... H52

Volume 2 was one of my earliest Razbam purchases, back in 2005, and is always one of the first packages to be reinstalled when I have had to reload FS9. One of the nice things about volume 2 is the inclusion of HMAS Melbourne, something to fly the Aussie Skyhawks from; a Majestic-class deck is waaay smaller than one of those American things, so pretty challenging. But all of the Skyhawk packs are nice, and give pretty comprehensive coverage of the entire A-4 family.

Yes, it would be Ito's FDE!!

[OBIO]

H52

My landing skills are horrible and I have landed the Razbam Skyhawks...never on carriers though....just on strips. Well, I have landed the Razbam Skyhawks on carriers in CFS2...which is a lot more challenging that FS9 carrier landings since CFS2 carriers move and bob about. The FDE in Ito's Skyhawk...if like his other FDEs...is probably wonky as all get out.

Yes, I got it as well. Radzamb was, apparently going to the original name of the company but there was a misprint at some point so they ended up with Razbam - well, that is what he said on Facebook a while back.
