    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Carenado website slow

Anyone else her been trying to buys direct from the Carenado site during the sale ?

For me the whole site is mega slooooow and after adding a plane to my basket the sale price disappeares from most of the others and adding them will want to charge full price.
 
It is slow, or even down. I cannot access the site anymore. I've sent a message to them, but haven't got any reply.
 
I was not able to place an order for their sale aircraft, as the site would crash repeatedly. I finally gave up and got the sale pricing at Just Flight. This must be costing them thousands in failed orders.
 
Yep, same thing happened to me. Put something in my basket only to have it change to full price one it got there. :dizzy:

LouP
 
Almost picked up the 208Ex and the 206, but got frustrated with how long it was taking just to go from page to page. That was at 5AM ET today.
 
What are the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing direct from a developer?
I’ve got most of Carenado’s stuff from Just Flight or PC Aviator, both of which are usually cheaper.
 
This website has issues as well. Clicked reply with quote but the quote wasn't copied over.

The advantages are the the developer gets all of the money, they don't have to pay a (typical) 30% commission to some store.
And if they have updates they go on their own site first. A lot of stores can take a couple weeks before they post the update.

Personally, I'm cheap by nature so even though I'm a associated with a couple developers I always go for sales and added discounts.

Yep same here. I usually like to order direct ftom them and hsd done without issues, but this time when I visited the website to buy one of their products on sale , I could not purchase it with the slow load times making it nearly unusable. it was so bad I had to get their product from SimMarket and it was actually cheaper there than Carrnado's sale price.

Yes, JustFlight is rock solid and they give points to be used against future purchases.

In this sale you might save an additional 10% at PC Aviator today (Tuesday).

I also noticed that Simshack has a lower price on a few items.

Pays to be a smart shopper so you have a few extra bucks to contribute to the annual server campaign here at SOH.
