Classic British Flight Sim

Hello all.

Apologies for asking about this on the forum, but I am quite literally 'stumped'.

Back in 2008/9, I bought the Skysim Hawk. It was fantastic and it was 'flown' on a very regular basis. Since then, for one reason or t'other (broken computer and then new computer mainly...), I've lost the Hawk and several other aircraft.
I've been able to restore just about everything else, but I am well & truly lost when it comes to the Skysim Hawk.
Does anybody please have any idea at all if it is still at all possible to get hold of the Hawk and if so, where from? (I've tried via Skysim website contact details etc).

I've been Hawkless for several months now and I'm beginning to get withdrawal symptoms...

Thanks in advance for any help & regards.

Duncan.

I don't understand what the problem is?

Google gave me the Skysim website in seconds - along with the info and links to purchase

So what did you actually want from us?

He mentioned that he'd tried the Skysim website John. TBH I'm to sure what the setup is over there these days, but I thought they had a support forum. They should certainly still have the records if you've bought it before and just need to reinstall it.

EDITED - please ignore my previous comments here (now deleted) - have a look at this thread:

Somehow I don't think you will be hearing anything.

The OFT recently told me it is an offence for a UK based online retailer to not have their registered address printed on their website. So i would contact the OFT. Not that you have a legal leg to stand on - but you should be able to at least write to them - and that is a legal requirement.

Yes indeed.. it's a shame the install procedure for the Hawk was such a pain (done in attempt to stop piracy) but would be have been fine with the correct support facilities in place which, it has to be said, there are none. Let me also add that this is no fault of the developers.. it's the publisher. Brian Franklin and Rick still pop in here so perhaps they can offer some worthwhile advice on their next visit

Thanks for the responses...

Just about everything that I can think of has been tried now, but I believe that I will have to sadly admit defeat. Various searches & e-mails etc have come up with nowt.
I've even attempted to recover the data from my old computers HDD, but unfortunately, the disk is too badly damaged.
It's such a shame though, as it was an absolutely fantastic rendition of the Hawk.

I guess that I'll have to find a 'new favourite'. I can see me brushing off the dust from the virtual cockpit of the venerable Vulcan.

Happy flying all.

Dunk.

I wonder why you have not emailed Skysim support ?

All support is forwarded to me

Can you PM me your real name and any info on when you bought the hawk and i will try to get you fixed
I am not Skysim before you start shouting.

Skysim have a support forum but sadly someone that joined blocked me from accessing it! So i cannot get on support forum.

2 days and still no PM!

Hello Rick.

Thanks for your reply.

I sent you a PM last night at around 1800.

Kind regards.

Duncan.
