    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.

HU: JF TriStar Pro on sale!

Attempted a short test flight. Just a "lap around the boat" so to speak. Got an OOM before turning on final, after half an hour of ground ops and flying. And I'm running FSXSE in DX10 mode without any fancy scenery add-ons.

Checked the model and textures. 700 drawcalls for the model with only 130000 polygons and 400+ MB of textures. What a huge freaking waste of resources and a huge disappointment, especially since the package otherwise (panels, systems, etc...) made a good first impression.

Deleted the aircraft for now and will have to think of something to improve VAS usage should I decide for a second go one day.
 
Hi Bjoern. We'll definitely investigate the issue but we've only received a couple of reports of performance-related issues in the few years that we've been selling it, so I can only assume that not everyone encounters OOMs (as the developer of the 'Pro' upgrade, I spent many many hours flying the aircraft and I didn't encounter a single OOM with a relatively modest PC). The 'Pro' upgrade added a ton of animations and visibility tags to the engineers panel so that would have increased draw-calls significantly, but obviously it shouldn't be to the point where the product is unusable.


Regarding refunds, please contact our customer service team and they'll be happy to provide you with a refund.

Hi Martyn,

thanks for also replying here. I've replied to your post on Avsim, so let's just carry on there instead of having to duplicate everything here.
