    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Airfield FPS Optimized in P3?

Hello,

I have just ordered my copy of P3, and I am looking forward to it :)

But I had problems with P2, as did some others with low/medium spec PCs, with a significant drop in FPS within sight of airfields (making landing very difficult at FPS in the low to mid teens), and I remember from the forum discussions that some form of 'optimization' of airfields with P3, to provide a workshop setting to reduce airfield objects or parked a/c, might be included to help with this. Did this ever make it to P3, or was it accepted that most of the people with this problem would sooner or later upgrade to better PC system? I am still saving for that new system, and so have yet to upgrade from my AMD64 3400+/1 GB RAM/ATI AGP 9800 Pro, so am I likely to find that this airfield issue is still a problem with P3?

Hello Bletchley

Bottom line no not as much as I had hoped but we will continue to work on this - it is a CFS3 issue - but it need not hold us up as we have a genius coder on our team as most of u know - Rex Hannover.

Best

Thank you for the quick reply Winder :)

Unless it still effects a lot of players, please do not divert any OFF team resources to this. I will sooner or later (sooner I hope - I am getting there) upgrade to a better system anyway, and I guess most people here already have. I was just curious, not asking for a solution.
