Thank you for the valuable and constructive feedback!

Greenranger
5 Days ago I submitted a couple screenshots for the user gallery I took from my F-16 showing screenshots of Katrina and my radar and it stated that it needs to take 24 hours for approval. Apparently I was not approved for whatever reasons as I think that they were proof of what I was seeing. I guess my next step is to reach out to Flightsim.to and I will be disputing my purchase with PayPal.
SoFly 16 day(s) ago
Not sure who needs to approve it, but we haven't seen a notification. What's your problem and maybe we can help? Or you can send us a ticket via our support channel: https://sofly.io/support
Greenranger 14 day(s) ago
I just created a support ticket. I look forward to hearing from you.
crowobarr
Do you think it will be possible to add some Typhoons in this as well. That is what i was looking forward to the most.
SoFly 16 day(s) ago
Yes! Coming in the next update.
crowobarr 11 day(s) ago
Thank you, specifically want something over the philippines since they receive so many a year and some are super typhoons
Greenranger
I have been trying this mod out and being optimistic about it after reading the reviews. I understand that this is a stationary static weather scenario and NOT live weather. I have my graphics set on ultimate everything as my computer is a high end rig. I have tried a couple hurricanes like Irma which is located down in the Caribbean. It never showed up on my radar in four different aircraft. I flew over Katrina in Cancun in the F16 and it showed up on radar but the bands were very broken and vague on my radar. I submitted screenshots but apparently it takes 24hrs. and must be approved first before being uploaded as proof of what I am seeing. I had messaged my friends about this mod and we were all excited about getting it. I have just messaged my friends WARNING them NOT to get it! I don't know what is going on but I had to uninstall the mod because i have had 5-6 CTD's. I am very disappointed in this product and do not recommend it currently. I would like to know how to contact the developer if that's possible in case of an error on my part.
Thank you, Green Ranger
SoFly 16 day(s) ago
Could you explain when you had the CTDs? We haven't had any support tickets about CTDs which would help us to tackle any issues.

You can send us a ticket at the support link above or directly here: https://sofly.io/support

So I'm hoping this will be taken as effective criticism...
Nowhere in the description does it state the hurricanes are static and basically models with some wind unless I missed it. I think the confusion is reading the description and details of this addon, I personally get the impression I'd be flying into a LIVE and moving storm and that's not the case. Maybe just an adjustment to the description would solve a lot of this. Food for thought..
bcdan81 21 day(s) ago
I am completely with you on this. I just found out by your reply so thank you.
Not only I did not see anywhere about that during my research, I could never imagine that someone would ever announce/sell the product so big, when it is actually a 'static storm'
I was so excited to get this product, but thank you for letting me know before that happened.
SoFly 16 day(s) ago
Excellent point. We'll make the edit to the description right now.
DaManAbove
Works great and does exactly what it say...provide FICTIONAL weather/storms in the game. I'm someone that had a few of the Hurricane live weathers saved from last year and after the last few updates have been getting strange behavior. This one, although, fictional, does look unique and adds a fun experience for those that like to play on the Fictional side when it comes to Weather as of course I'm just a gamer and not an actual Pilot lol. If you're thinking of buying, please remember the FICTIONAL part and do your own research be it reviews from other places or via a video. Folks on this site tend to go off the first few reviews before trying something themselves...at least be fair to the product. You would think anyone deciding to purchase would have already had some type of expectance of what they're receiving if they done research before the purchase. For Me, GREAT ADD-ON...but like with anything, It's always better to see for yourself and DO YOUR RESEARCH and remember they said FICTIONAL weather.
SoFly 16 day(s) ago
Thanks for the cool feedback! We understand some people have had a few issues and are working to fix them. Really pleased you are enjoying the product and we have some cool updates planned to enhance it more.
sergeibass7
I give this a half star. One of the worst addons ever. I have purchased this and was disappointed.
SoFly 22 day(s) ago
Sorry to hear! This is unlike some other feedback we've had. What in particular didn't you like?
THEOLI4D 22 day(s) ago
Well sergeibass7, could you at least explain why you were disappointed? Otherwise your comment is not really helpful to anyone.
sergeibass7 22 day(s) ago
I made a video review and got attacked for my review so I deleted it. There are a lot of issues. Buy it and find out, or take my word and save $13
DaManAbove 22 day(s) ago
I checked out the add on and have to say, I LOVE IT! Exactly what I was expecting, the bad reviews seem like unnecessary hate as most that decide to buy should've been well aware of what they were getting. I highly doubt dude did a video review and removed due to hate if the support we see here is any indication of what others feel. Why would they? Anyways, GREAT JOB SoFly, keep it up...I personally love this kind of stuff as I still had hurricane weathers saved from a year ago that had stopped working properly. Thank You Guys, and to anyone on the fence please at least try it yourself or watch a review from someone thats at least neutral. IMO it's an awesome add on that adds Fictional weathers, just like the Description says. I think some folks didn't understand the FICTIONAL part 🤷♂️
Ravlyk 21 day(s) ago
I have seen couple days ago previous comment from sergeibass7 with link to video review (already deleted by that time) and lots of replies with attacks on the video and author. That comment is now removed also.
InkWithGold
Flightsim.to now hiding the rating for this scam once it dropped under 1 star? You're on their side or what???
iowahawkeyedave 22 day(s) ago
I mean, the one review for it that gave it a 1/2 star was a scam review. Nobody else has reviewed it.
Exquisite staff 22 day(s) ago
The comment was deleted by the author himself.
SoFly 22 day(s) ago
To clarify, we reported the 'review' but it was full of errors and misrepresented the product completely.
Xoelpilot747
why is it not showing up spent money on this for nothing i dont have stuff in the custom content in the challenges and i dont have new storm options
SoFly 22 day(s) ago
Please send us a support ticket so we can help. Have you installed it correctly to your community folder?
Xoelpilot747 21 day(s) ago
its not even showing on the downloads thing
smoothflyer
This was listed for $9.98, 2 days ago, under "Bestsellers", but when you went to Bestsellers, the price was increased to $12.95, what a rip-off, and a bait & switch scam
Exquisite staff 22 day(s) ago
This was just a system error. All products listed there were showing $9.98 due to a backend caching error. When this came to our attention, it was fixed within an hour. Sorry for the inconvenience.
smoothflyer 21 day(s) ago
You put the price out there at $9.98, and you HAVE to back it, that's how retail works, this is again, why I say your company is a fraud and a scam of bait and switch.

No Charlie in 2004, no sale. My parents' home was in Punta Gorda, FL, where Charlie came ashore.
SoFly 22 day(s) ago
We can add more, no problems!

How do you select the FBW as the description says? I just cannot fly the default A320 neo anymore, to be honest. I forgot just how bad it was...
SoFly 22 day(s) ago
Just make sure the FBW A320 is installed and then they will appear in the custom content section under the missions (3).
SpeedDemon77 21 day(s) ago
I have the FBW experimental version downloaded. I go to custom content and cant use my FBW on any of the flights, under the missions tab there is no A320 flight available as well. Please let me know, im dying to fly the FBW in this addon...

You use a logo similar to ORIGIN 😁

This looks very interesting, I'm looking forward to a more detailed review by someone. How large a diameter is a typical hurricane? From the photos they look rather small...it is possible to have the look w/eye embedded in a much larger meso-scale system? Thanks!
doubledgames
Any reviews?
sergeibass7 24 day(s) ago
yes I have
Lowwryder
Are these hurricanes able to move along a path or are they stationary?
SoFly 24 day(s) ago
Whilst we would love to have them move, they are indeed a static hurricane. If the SDK allows a path in the future, we will update
Lowwryder 24 day(s) ago
Hopefully they will, that's when I'll buy it. Awesome job nonetheless, the images look great in my opinion.
SoFly 22 day(s) ago
Thanks! We're pushing for the SDK to allow it as it would be awesome!

Dorian look like flat scattered strato cumulus with heavy wind
Greenranger 21 day(s) ago
So is Irma. I'm not even getting anything on my radar and I have tried three different aircraft so far.
goose84
The hurricane look crappy
SoFly 25 day(s) ago
Sorry to hear. Which hurricane? What are your sim settings? It would be more helpful if you provided a little more detail than just saying it looks bad. That way, we can help.
Zie 25 day(s) ago
Its your settings probably
markedupcyborg 24 day(s) ago
agreed, bumped up my settings, was way better
SoFly 24 day(s) ago
Thanks! Out of interest what were your setting and what did you bump? That way, we can add it to our support / requirements to help other customers.
InkWithGold 24 day(s) ago
He did not say it looks bad. He said it looks crappy
AwesomeAg 23 day(s) ago
@InkWithGold that's the same thing..
