Hello everyone,
Effective immediately, we are restricting the number of Orbx products you can download whose licenses you transferred from FSS. The restriction will be set to ONE product download per customer per day, until further notice.
NOTE - this restriction does NOT apply to any new products you have purchased from OrbxDirect, nor freeware demos or downloads. That is, anything you have purchased from OrbxDirect since November 1st has NO download restrictions.
We have requested Adrian at FSS enable the validation server for all your old FSS wrapper installers so you can re-install from those at any time. Again, this is a temporary measure. We have not yet heard back from Adrian regarding this request but I am sure it won't be a major technical issue for him to implement.
Why are we doing this?
1. PANIC DOWNLOADING. It appears that a "panic" has set in with all customers who transferred their FSS licenses to OrbxDirect. Because the old FSS wrapper installers can no longer be validated after the transfer of licenses, we think people felt insecure about a potential PC or Windows crash/reinstall without any backed up installers. This has caused a mad rush of downloads on our servers, generating over 50TB!! of data downloaded in less than a week. That is 50,000GB of data.
2. CUSTOMERS NOT READING INSTRUCTIONS. Despite our best attempts at creating a FAQ, step-by-step guide, video and answering countless customer questions, the message has still not gotten through - YOU DO NOT NEED TO DOWNLOAD EVERY ORBX PRODUCT WHOSE LICENSE WAS TRANSFERRED FROM FSS.
3. UNNECESSARY DOWNLOADS. Just because with OrbxDirect all products now use a different installation method (FTX Central v3), and use a different backup (encrypted nested ZIP files/folders), does NOT mean you should download and create backups for EVERY Orbx product license you transferred from FSS. After all, if they are installed and working in your simulator before you transferred your licenses, why do anything at all - unless you are literally planning a PC rebuild, OS re-install? I doubt that many of you are in this situation.
4. REBUILD AT A CONTROLLED PACE. Even if the worst were to happen and you had to re-install all products, downloading them from our servers is not a major headache, nor does it necessarily need to be done all at once. After all, as has been said numerous times, can you really visit every Orbx product location in one day, or one session? No. So we find the need to download and create backups for your entire library rather odd behaviour to say the least.
5. ARE WE ARCHIVE LIBRARIANS OR SIMMERS? Can I make a comparison? I recently purchased a new laptop. I installed FTXC V3 and installed Prepar3D V3.4.9, then downloaded FTX Global, Vector and openLC NA. I then enjoyed many flights in the sim in between doing other tasks. I also installed Steam and began to download some games I had previously purchased. Since many of them are > 30GB in size and I only have 7.5Mb/sec broadband, I usually installed one every few days, or one per week. Many times these downloads I would leave running overnight. I then began to add other Orbx regions and airports, perhaps one a day. My point is that it was unreasonable for me to expect to re-install my entire Orbx library or my entire Steam games collection all at once. Nor did I even create backups of my Orbx and Steam installers, since it's just easier for me to install what I need, when I need it. I am more interested in flying or gaming, than being an archive librarian. Keeping archived installers also takes a LOT of space; in the case of Orbx it's 200GB excluding freeware.
I understand this restriction will be received with some negativity from certain people, but frankly - we can't justify the cost of 50-100TB of data transfer per week - that would erode any profit from our sales, which would limit Orbx's future expansion and growth plans or new product rollouts.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. The only reason we offered to transfer your FSS licenses in the first place was to make it easier and simpler to manage ALL your Orbx products you have purchased from day one - in one place, with one store, one installation method and one way to apply updates, patches and service packs. We did this to make things easier for YOU.
What we did not expect was such a crazy demand on our servers for archiving the entire collections of old purchases. It would have been easier to allow old FSS installers to remain active and useable, which is what we are reverting to now.
Sorry for the blip in programming - with anything new, there are bound to be warts and tweaks, so we're doing our best to provide you with a seamless customer experience, but not at the expense of eroding all profit margins on bandwidth costs, sorry.
This is a temporary measure only. We will review bandwidth over the coming months and adjust download limits accordingly

Gott ist das lächerlich.

Die wollen alles selbst anbieten, aber nicht mit dem Traffic leben. Gott wie krank.
Aber sie ernten ja gerade auch einen ordentlichen Shitstorm.
Dilletanten!

Übrigens seitdem es keine Umschaltung mehr bei OrbX gibt, kann man sich auch die Verzeichnisse rippen und unter völlig anderem Namen als stinknormale Szenerie einbinden.
Vielleicht für alle eine Überlegung wert, die Ihre alten V2 Installationen in trockene Tücher außerhalb des OrbX Verzeichnisses bringen wollen. Funktioniert auch wenn nix in der Registry steht. Im neuen Namen sollte dann aber weder FTX noch OrbX vorkommen

Das ist ne geile Idee. Ich benenne es einfach in Geoszene England und Schottland um.

Was genau macht eigentlich die Objectflow-Geschichte. Und in wiefern sind Flächenszenerien davon betroffen?

Naja, PFPX und das EFB braucht ja windows,
da wird ein Android oder iOS Tablet nicht reichen..

Navigraph hat ja wenigstens ne gute App...

Ui, das kann aber gewaltig nach hinten losgehen.
Weil auf etliche Neukäufe haben auch die Hardcore-ORBX-Jünger dann bestimmt keine Lust mehr.

Ja schade.
Aber jeder kann entscheiden, wie er seine Produkte vertreiben will.
Manchen zwingen einen sogar, für Freeware einen Datenstrip hinzulegen.

Ich hab Urlaub.
Könnte also klappen!
Geile Desti auf jeden Fall....

Oh nein Phototapete. Bitte nicht.
Auch wenn nachher Autogen drauf ist.

Yep! Jetzt fehlt nur noch ne geile Medellin Szenerie für Jetstream-Action.

Religiöse Diskriminierung, hier????

War nur ne Antwort auf Reinhards völlig sachliche und fundiert kompetente Antwort.

Super Artikel!
Er entlarvt auch Peters verlinkten Paragraphen.
Dieser zählt nämlich nur für die Täter, und nicht für die "Unbeteiligte".
Und diese wurde inform der unschludigen Passagiere als Nichtäter ja auch mit in den Tod gerinnsen.

Zitat von The Big Lebowski

Wenn man also Moral ( die in beiden Sendungen hoch hergepeitscht wurde) und das geltende Recht gegenüber stellt, dann offenbare sich diametrale Unterschiede, die die eigentliche Basis der Diskussion bilden.

So ist es.
Aber unsere Verfassung sagt eben, dass ein Leben so viel Wert wie 20.000.000 ist.
Daher ist der Pilot auch schuldig, hat allerdings moralisch richtig gehandelt.

Aber erst mal schaun, wie die Söhne kooperieren heute Abend.

Yep. Lasst die Diskussionen beginnen.

Geil. Temples machen so stark weiter, wie sie angefangen haben.
