NOTE: IF YOU PURCHASED THIS FROM THESE RETAILERS: SimMarket / Flightsim.com / PC Aviator / Simulshop, please start the return process by contacting them. If you have any resistance or trouble getting your full refund (not credit), please contact me in this thread and I will chase them for you.
I have varying promises from these vendors and a forthcoming review that your experience with them will guide. I will use this as leverage to ensure what they have promised me (your refunds) are followed through with.
If you did receive a return for instance (a number of you said that flightsim.com gave you a return immediately) let me know also so that I can point out those retailers who are being fair.
