Aerosoft have changed their system for VA discounts from this month. Instead of checking pilots lists for each of their partner VA's they will now issue codes for discounted products. That means the VA management will have to tell them by email how many codes they need for which product. Aerosoft will then return the requested number of codes and the VA staff will hand them to their members.
The new system makes things easier for Aerosoft, but for the VA it's more work. Therefor we decided to create a special page for pilots' code requests which is, in most parts, automated. You can find this "VA discounts" page in your "pilot's lounge", once you are logged in.
There you will see the discounted Aerosoft products (along with a general info for the discount on TOPCAT) and you can request a discount code by clicking on the respective button(s). We will set a time frame for each request period. Until the indicated date we are collecting your requests before we (automatically) send an email to Aerosoft. After the email is sent you will be notified that your request is being processed and a new deadline for the next request period will be set.
As soon as Aerosoft sends us the discount codes, they will be distributed to all members who asked for one.
I hope this doesn't sound too complicated. Once you try it, it should be pretty straight forward. If you have questions, go ahead. And please, read Aerosoft's announcement about the new discount program here:
The list of discounted products will be extended from time to time, just check our discounts page once in a while.
Some additional notes:
- Our little web application involved some programming and, although it was roughly tested, there might be some bugs hidden (there usually are). So, at the moment, consider this an official beta test. If you don't receive your discount codes some 10 days after the end of the request period, please tell us. At the moment we don't know yet how long it actually takes Aerosoft staff to send the codes.
- Please don't order codes for products you can not use (like FSX software for FS9 or X-Plane) or you already have.
- Remember that you need to have at least the rank of "Second Officer" to be entitled to VA discounts.
