  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Orbx Optica

Tried the freeware version and it isn't a finished product and a dog on frame rates. Needs to be optimized and snuffed up.

I asked NewkTV (of Aerosoar) on his YT what happened to the flightsim.to portover project. If he's active here he might chime in of course, but the gist is that he removed it as he was close to releasing a native version, but ORBX's announcement of their own unrelated native version may put his native version on ice.
 
I don't see why he should shelve his own native version. There are always people on a budget (ME!) that might just try out the freeware, and if it fills the need, might decide not to go the payware route.

Tom (or anyone else here, for that matter!), I have that freeware Optica, if needed.... NC
 
I had it, and, well, let's just say it had issues. I'm spoiled on the detail of the defaults (never thought I'd say that), so I'll hold off for something native.

To be honest, if the native freeware is at least "good," it's ORBX that should be worried!
 
The good news is NewkTV didn't shelf the project after all, and the freeware Aerosoar Optica releases tonight atound 1AM CST!
 
The freeware is UP on flightsim.to. Trending. FUN!
