    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.

Many many thanks!

I just want to post a public thanks to those who helped me with my system/monitor configuration purchase decisions - especially DennyA! I ended up with a very nice setup as a direct result of the knowledge base in this forum (even if I couldn't find an RTX 3080 in stock :wink:). I Installed MSFS three days ago, and have slowly been figuring out how to maximize my enjoyment with it. I am a bit frustrated with some of the interaction/interface changes Asobo has implemented, however, I am learning every time I load up the sim. The amount of really useful information available via YouTube videos is absolutely incredible, and I've probably spent as much time viewing videos about MSFS as I have running it.
Anyway, thanks again to all who helped.
BTW, if you have an older video card and are looking for an upgrade but can't find a 3080, I will say that an RTX 3070 runs MSFS quite nicely. I can't run everything in Ultra or at max settings without things slowing down a bit. However, the performance of the 3070 has readily met my expectations. That, combined with a new Dell S3220DGF curved 32" monitor has made the level of immersiveness I've experienced far exceed anything I've seen before - in any home PC sim.:encouragement:
