  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

2026 Resource Download limits

Its a shame this has happened... I download as something new comes along, or something peaks my interest, but a whole directory?
 
Sorry for the problems. Scammers are everywhere these days. Thanks for all the hard work SOH staff do for all of us real people.
 
Dang DW can you please make your images smaller in terms of file size! That image took forever to load and bogged down the entire site for me and I am on a 1Gb/sec fibre connection! Nobody needs 4k AI images when 1Mb files will do. :mad:

I sympathize with you, my friend! I stare wistfully out the window, where an enemy drone is buzzing disgustingly... And then there are the new rules of the site that prevent me from downloading the coveted livery on the good old Heinkel. Where is justice?
 
This morning I was browsing the respurce library for files related to the Dauntless. The system reduced the availability of further downloads today for me from 40 to 27, despite the fact that I only actually downloaded two files. The user's download count is being reduced based on the user's selection of the wrong download button - it should be based on the button that comes after the timer countdown rather than the resource details page button.
 
Why has my daily download limit started at 39 today instead of 40 - before I have even looked at or downloaded any resources ?

I am assuming that this is connected to the difference between my timezone and that of the server, but in case it is not, I am registering this as another discrepancy in the process . . .

It seems that I am now only allowed to download 39 files each day instead of 40 - why ? ? ?

I am at an even lower count… like 20 a day… I’ve downloaded 3 Files today… but its now at 15 allready.. which seems weird… it should be at 17 then… if its 20 a day… But why is my counter at 20 a day, when others have 40 a day? is that somewhat of a politics or something? doesn’t seem to be fair… i think everyone should have the same counter…
