August 16, 20223 yr Do anyone know why it impossible to use the oldest scandinavian virtuel airline? I get server error every time i try to open their app, and their homepage is NOT opening. Keld sas264
August 17, 20223 yr Unfortunately the server is offline.... The website had been hacked and I was forced by the ISP to shut it down. I'm not sure when/if it can be reopened. As you know, my involvement during the last few years was very low, only paying the bills. Also I really can't tell when I'm able to resolve the issues, if at all. Don't expect it anytime soon, I simply don't have the time. That is all the news/info I can give you right now.

August 17, 20223 yr Dear Egbert, we appreciate your efforts in keeping the SAS VA alive for all these years. I'm pretty sure that if you put out the request for a donation, many of us would donate as we understand that maintaining the website and server could be costly. Also, there are possibly some pilots that would be able to offer assistance in bringing the website back online. Just my thoughts. I wish you all the best with my fingers crossed for a resolution of this problem. All the best, Dusan S., SAS 860 (since 2004).
August 18, 20223 yr Author Hi Egbert. Thank you very much for your answer. I back up all the fine words in Dusan post, and hope also for a resolution of the problem. Really don’t wish to change VA after around 20 years happy flying in Scandinavian VA. Keld M, SAS 264
August 23, 20223 yr Hello Egbert, I also would really like to see the SVA back up and running and hope you can get it sorted out. I am willing to help out any way I can... Best wishes, Bill /711

It's not about the money (otherwise I would have stopped the SVA a long while ago), but it is about the time, or better: The lack of... By today standards the software (web UI, app and backend) is rather outdated. I simply don't have the time to rewrite/update the code right now and in the forseeable future. It is a huge effort. Also setting up a new server including all required software is a huge task. I'm not even sure if I still have all source code. So for now, the SVA is in a holding pattern and I'm afraid I don't know when/if it will resume to the next waypoint...

September 28, 20223 yr Still hoping for a miracle but while we're waiting, DC-3 Airways has a rally starting Oct 1st.. If you like flying old school it will keep you busy for awhile. https://dc3airways.net/wr/ Bill /711
October 7, 20223 yr I can absolutely understand why it would might be the end, even though it makes me somewhat sad. But all things have to come to an end at some point in time. I was wondering if there is anyway to get the flight hours? I am a but curious as to how many hours I racked up eventually :) Tried the internet archive but it can't access the pilots pages unfortunately. take-care /Andy SAS311 Edited October 7, 20223 yr by andm31
November 1, 20223 yr Hi! Fully understand Egbert. Time is going fast. I joined about year 2000 and has a many many joyful flight with this VA. Many of us old boys is really old and some of us has lost interest also for flightsimulation. The life will go on.. Wish Egbert and all my old pilot friends a geat time and wellness to you all. . Take care 🙂 Nico (AKA SAS219) Nicolaus Malmgren
