Thanks for the heads up from me as well, unfortunately, no new-ish content as such, will keep an eye on future sales though.
Cheerz. Transport Steve.

This is a site a few people experienced problems with, but not everyone, and I have used it troublefree for about three years now.

Yeah, not much that I didn't have yet either and part of the selection they always offer, nothing new. Still found something worthwhile though, the German Railways DB class 442 EMU 'Talent 2' which is very nice especially at 70% off.

Can recommend!
..and btw, no trouble bying from D2D, never had any troubles so far. The product code is a bit hidden though and not exactly there where they say it is, i.e. not under 'Purchase History' but under 'My Games'.

Yes, Jan, a few had problems, others mananged to purchase content without any hassle, so, luck of the draw, really.
It might be best if you open an account first, it's very easy you just need a valid email address, and a Password. From memory, you can pay with a Credit Card, or, Paypal, but, they add a little extra on if you use Paypal, 10 pence it was for me, so, my purchase in total cost £3.70, but, it was still a great deal, after paying for your goods you can go back to the store where you get your Steam key which you put in your Steam account and download the item, it's quite straightforward, if you have any problems, come back on here, and I'm sure someone will help you out.

Thanks Steve. I think if I go with Paypal it should be safe. Not sure I really need anything anyway.

You're right Steve. My Euro 4,20 turned into Euro 4,31.

You see that more often these days that there is an additional charge for certain payment methods that used to be at no charge.

Well done Jan, don't forget there are some repaints for the Talent, on the German RailSim websites, there may be a sound update as well somewhere for this model, you'll have to do a search for it.

Very nice, don't you think? I Need to take a look at the sound update and the skins. Didn't know they existed.

I purchased an item today , against my better judgement, and wish I had steered clear of D2d.
I opened an account and purchased using pay pal.
I received no confirmation of purchase by email from D2D and cannot log in to the account to activate my purchase.
Their support just produces automated replies which are not relevant to my problem.
They do not give refunds but they are in breach of contract because they say the purchased software is immediately available in your account as soon as the transaction is complete.
I might have to go to PayPal to resolve this.

And why exactly can't you login to your account? And when did it stop working? You were able to login right before the purchase and suddenly after it you can't?
Resetting your password does not work?
