Release Day

[WotanUK 289]

Hello,I imagine that quite a number of people are going to be purchasing/downloading the NGX on release day. Are the people at PMDG sure that they will be able to meet demand?Thanks

i remember when aerosoft released an add-on and the DL-Server crashed because thousands requested the DL :D

I am pretty sure Ryan told us that the forums may crash because of over capacity but the store certainly will not.Regards

Hopefully Ryan told the truth.

In the past couple of years we have made major upgrades to our ecommerce system hardware. Capacity is enormous...

yes but can it play Crysis?

[xender 459]

It only has 1.6 million processor cores, and 1.6 petabytes of ram, running linux... so it can't :(

Ha! I think with the amount of orders they are expecting, the servers have all been prepared already.

We do not expect problems with the store - there's a lot of horsepower already on tap for it - far far more than we had back when the FS9 400 release crashed it.If the forums do down (which we hope doesn't happen, but it may), go to our facebook page for updates from us. We're pretty sure our users can't crash Facebook.

Facebook wont crash, that's for sure, BUT your servers.. I hope they don't but i won't put my money on it xDGuys... this release will burn everything to the ground! Avsim forums will crash, pmdg servers will crash, my pc will crash, my credit card, my girlfriend, my cat will crash... my god, this will be biblical xDAnyway... i don't know if you can answer this but... do you host your own servers? or another company host them?

Just try not to crash the NGX and burn its remaining pieces okay?
