January 22, 200719 yr So Avsim lists on the front page that Iris is offering the community freeware and the link states their account has been suspended.Go figureAndrew
January 22, 200719 yr I suspect perhaps they've been overwhelmed? I got them ok. Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
January 22, 200719 yr Me too. I grabbed their S-3 Viking no problem earlier this morning. Suspect they are just getting hammered right now.Eric AND
January 22, 200719 yr They have been severly hammered I am sure they will be back soon enough, fact is that they have brought out those packs and even if it will take a little while for them to get the site back up, at least you are informed of the fact that they have released those planes and you can keep an eye on the site for when it becomes live again :)
January 22, 200719 yr I'm guessing the mass rush of downloaders exceeded their site's bandwidth limit.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
January 22, 200719 yr Yes, folks send us press releases, we post them, and they are amazed at the response and are shocked when their download bandwidth is exceeded and shut off (in the case of most low cost or free websites). Why they don't simply upload their works to AVSIM and then link to them from their pages is beyond me (I understand wanting to maintain "control" of their works, but that could be accomplished through AVSIM too) and then they would not have to worry about limited bandwidth and keep their "public" happy too.
January 23, 200719 yr I DLed all four planes. They are dated, to be sure, and the VCs certainly aren't cutting edge, but they are free and they look nice and fly well and I'll pass along a big thank you to IRIS.Thanks! ___________________________I'm just flying for the fun of it.
January 23, 200719 yr Yes the downloads must have been overwhelming.Thanks for your replys and sorry for the rantBest regards and thanks Avsim and IrisAndrew
