• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Orbx

Thanks Roger, same problem here FTX Central says it's downloading but nothing seems to be happening.
Just wanted to check Sp5 for EU England.
 
Both the ORBX and OZx forums are giving me the same message. Wanting me to download something.
 
Orbx Download

I also get an instant download whenever I have tried either the FTX website or the Orbx Forums. I have deleted and not opened the downloaded files.

All of the above happening for several days now - the OZx site has virtually "sent me to Coventry" since Feb 2016 (read, download but no posting) - the ORBX site very slow to load, if accessible, then posts taking ages to be accepted and then duplicated - now both sites and FTX Central want to download a php.file.

I think the forum software on both sites was always seriously flawed since the last "upgrade" and now it seems they have been "hacked" sadly. A great shame.
 
Same here but d/l'ed central update. Now no orbx scenery. Something is amiss down under me thinks
 
I get a pop up asking what program will I use to open. I see now they are "Under maintenance , moving site " . I feel they have been attacked too , maybe.
 
Thanks for the heads up everyone. Personally, I wouldn't download or open up anything from the
Orbx site until the dust clears.

I did go into FTX Central, and before it could download anything (there was an alert at the top saying
there was an up date for FTX Central to be downloaded), I activated FTX Global in Hybrid mode,
and quickly got out again.

The FTX Global Hybrid mode should let me fly in any Orbx area with only a slight loss of autogen,
and not have to go back into FTX Central to change anything.

I guess we now wait for further announcements. Hopefully everything will be fixed by tomorrow.

Thanks - Rob

Thats how it's supposed to be after the new unified update. No more switching reagions if you did the "migration" which FTX Central wants you to do afterwards. :very_drunk:
EDIT: Ok maybe I missread your statement. In FTX Central you should still be able to see the installed regions and airports. There is just no "activate" button anymore.

I got this same message on Sunday David; I left it for a while and it eventually sorted itself out.
Just looked again now, and have the '500 Internal Server Error' message again!
Seems like they've still got troubles!

I was on OrbX's site an hour ago with no problems, but am not confronted with the server error as well They must still be having problems.

Still working here.

It has updated FTX Central 2 so that all regions are active all the time, only time you need to use it is when you add new scenery files.

I think you can also use it for some automatic updates and to check if any of your add-ons require an updated download as well. I love the unified system.
