AVSIM Software and Hardware Guide for FSX

@Tom, FYI I'm using Firefox 22.0 and I can download the guide fine.

 

Edit: just tried using Internet Explorer and that worked fine as well.

Steve's super duper DX10 fixer upper will get rid of all those issues and many more when it is released.  Very soon, I hope.

 

OK, that sounds great!

 

However while waiting maybe the best thing to do then at this moment is to go back to DX9 for now until it's available or do you think there's any chance Addon Converter X would also cure these issues?

I don't think so, however the two specific problems you mentioned will be repaired in Steve's program.  I'm just living with it till then.

Ok, thanks.

 

Then I'll just wait for Steve's program and use DX9 until then. Can't live with these issues myself in the meantime since I do all my flying online and seeing all online traffic in white pretty much spoils the fun flying online and also all my destination airports have AES which means also all jetways and marshallers will be in white.

I have once again reinspected all items that could have an impact on or prevent accessing the H&S Guide. I have now tested all browsers again, and IE10 works as well as FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari and Avant. They all work as advertised. So, I don't know what to suggest other than to reboot your computer after you have cleared your browser cache.

Done all that.  I've tried FF and IE on Win7, WinXP and Safari on MacOSX and no matter what, I get the same error message.  I don't get it either.  Maybe I should create a brand new account just so I can download this?  It doesn't make sense.  Is it possible to get it sent to me via a PM or something else?  I'm really sorry to be a pain here but I'd really like to see this.

Check your IE compatibility mode. Check it so that it is in compatibility mode.

Compatibility mode is on but I am now only able to use IE8. I only have access to a WinXP machine right now and I believe that's as high a version as I can go in that OS. Still, Safari and FF on my mac also fail. I can't believe I'm the only one on this site that has tried accessing this that has some tiny slight difference in ALL my browsers that is preventing me from downloading this file. Here's my latest attempt in FF with Firebug...This is from my mac.

Try this one time link:

Nope. That doesn't work either. I guess I'm just destined to not see this file. Thanks for all your help in trying but I give up. The only thing I may try some day is to create a brand new account and then go get it.

I just logged in as you and everything is fine with your account and the download works. The fact is, something is not right with your system. I will send it to you via PM.

I also still have the error message trying to click the PDF link and I've tried clearing my IE cache and doesn't matter if I'm in normal or compatbility mode.

 

No big deal though since I wanted to have a look in the guide to read about DX10 stuff but now decided I won't walk the DX10 path for the time being due to several issues.

 

This is exactly what happens and what I get clicking the link

Did you click on the banner as is suggested in the last sentence?

Yep, tried that but not sure what that is supposed to do other than it will bring me back to the Forums start page?
