AVSIM on the blink again?

Post by VEGAS »

Hi all,

anyone else having trouble d/l files from AVSIM?

Seems their latest releases files are down.

There are some nice British repaints just popping up for Carenado stuff.

But can't get em! :rant:

Always the way. The files you want you can't have. :lol: :lol:

Yes, I can't get on and I was getting a message that implied that I had caused the problem.

I have not been able to DL from them for almost a year! No idea why! FS.com is perfect.

From the site..... :cpu:

"Yes, the library is offline. You may have noticed that we announced that it was back, but that was a temporary thing. Here's the deal... Yesterday we had to reboot our file library server. When it came back up, it conveniently forgot to bring the NAS disk system back with it. We have been struggling a little bit to get the NAS back, and we expect to have it online tomorrow. We are sorry for the interruption in service, of course, but the community needs to understand that we are still working out the bugs that carry over from the destruction of AVSIM in May. We will get there, but ask for your patience in the meantime. More news on the library later tomorrow. "

And Trev....you do know that the site was hacked into and all the files were lost for a long time don't you.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll get my coat.... :agree:

Tis a big problem for me also Garry, can't D/L from FS.com with my steam driven dial up, I always get a "time out" just before the file is completly D/L'd :wall: , never happens with AVsim.

Just been over there again.

The problems continue. I keeps seeing the 'oops!' prompt for everything.

Shame as theres a few things I fancied.

Bugger! :'(
