October 7, 201312 yr Commercial Member Just went over to LM P3D forums and there are no forums. I'm logged in and can get to a few of their other areas at the site but no forums. Is anyone else seeing this? Could it be the government shutdown has might actually affect P3Dv2 release?

October 7, 201312 yr I was just on the P3D forums this morning, weird :ph34r: . This is either really good or really bad. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
October 7, 201312 yr They're probably updating them to suite the expected load when the announcement of availability / detailled info for v2 is issued :-) I guess every simmer of the World, and Mars, because X-Plane 9 used to allow to fly in Mars, will jump over it trying to get the latest news, pictures, whatever...

October 7, 201312 yr Author Commercial Member So it isn't just me. It could they felt P3D wasn't high on priority or maybe just some of the IT guys got sent home so better to lock the forums until "the mess" is resolved. True, could be just updating the site but it is odd it happened the day of the furlough.

October 7, 201312 yr Whats weird is that when you sign in, you get the wordpress dashboard. I've never seen that before. Update: The forum link is gone. Update 2: It appears they are testing a new forum. Edited October 7, 201312 yr by t_bergman Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
October 7, 201312 yr Probably cleaning out the Trolls. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
October 7, 201312 yr Moderator Considering that one user posted all the links to the leaked 2.0 beta info, they may be reevaluating user access. Either it's a glitch or they're updating. I seriously doubt it has anything at all to do with the shutdown. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
October 7, 201312 yr Only 3,000 of LM's 130,000 employees were sent home. None of it is affecting P3D.
October 7, 201312 yr Lockheed is federal contractor... Not funded by them. Anyone sent home was probably working on contract orders from the U.S. Government or their work was done out of a Government office. ie: Prepar3D and their forums, and the website wouldn't be affected ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING / i9-9900k @ 4.7 all cores w/ NOCTUA NH-D15S / 2080ti / 32GB G.Skill 3200 RIPJAWS / 1TB Evo SSD / 500GB Evo SSD / 2x 3TB HDD / CORSAIR CRYSTAL 570X / IPSG 850W 80+ PLATINUM / Dual 4k Monitors
