jfmitch Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Seems the Flight Sim Store can't keep up the pace. Been trying to log on for an hour to purchase the latest ORBX product North America and wheels keep spinning. With a fibre optic connection normally its bang bang. Disappointed.

JohnE77 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hang in there, Jim. I'm right there with you. I think the demand for Open LC NA is much greater than expected, and with the release occurring on a weekend while the US & Europe are awake is just making it more difficult. I've waited a year for this one, so I can certainly wait a few more hours (or days). John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester945271 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi All feel exactly the same, was on FSS less than 10 mins after file went live brought it straight away and I have only managed to get the 4 files in the last hour. Cant wait for the OrbX store, please invest in decent load balancers lol Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Here too. Another few more hours won't hurt anyone. So be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daynas Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Noticing the same thing. Cant log on to buy. While I can wait a day or so surely a decent CDN wouldn't have these sort of problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnE77 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A bit off topic: Is the executable file in Part 1? If so, I had a bad download since I only have files 1-6, with no exe file. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Guys, hang in there... This release is a record breaker for us and we've underestimated demand, so apologies for the hiccups. Try again tomorrow and you should be ok. I hope all the discounts are kicking in regardless. Finally, a big THANK YOU for your support of Orbx products, we really do appreciate it!

Braun Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 John, see my comment in the other demand thread. You are absolutely right to frame this as Demand/Capacity issue. Learn from this All the best to you and your efforts to grow. And if you can and will review my purchase history and notably the past few days (three regions to go with PNW: 1.SoCal, 2.NW Fiords, 3.SoAlaska And two Airports too) I will continue to vote with my dollar, but you will have to continue to earn my confidence, and that is not an unreasonable request at all I think.

Cheers, Braum Hmmm, Seems to be somewhat a bit of a harsh statement coming from someone with only 15 posts. I think that everyone here gets it, the excitement to be able to download and test a newly purchased product. However there are hundreds of other members here that have purchased every single product Orbx has created and I don't think any of them would have presented a "tone" of such nature. Orbx's creator and staff are helpful, accommodating, innovative, creative, as well as humble enough to apologize for missing the mark. I really think we should give honor where honor is due in this instance as opposed to portraying an attitude of grandeur than others. Respectfully, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Please don't berate forum members for their frustration. openLC NA has met with unprecedented demand even I did not predict, so the FSS servers are getting absolutely hammered. I can assure you all that we will be able to facilitate everyone's downloads over the coming week, and yes, we are investing in new online store infrastructure that will alleviate issues such as today's. Please accept my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks again ORBX for this one. I will purchase now and download later when the servers settle down, life is so much better when you walk and don't run... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caaront Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I was able to buy it but might not be able to downoad it until I get my new place, may see if the bro-in law will let me download it to a thumb drive on his pc hooked directly to the modem, he is getting like 75mbps, out here on wifi in the cabin I get 29kbps, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just a masterful piece of marketing. So far I've made the purchase and downloaded part 1 and the servers are 'out to lunch. They'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, must be shaking the Fsim world. I was lucky enough to get all four parts downloaded overnight and with just a few attempts needed to register when I ran the install all 18Gb are ready to go and so am I. I may be missing in action for a while. Well done Orbx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpreou Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I bought it, but getting nada at nearly 6pm NZ-time ... so I put a calendar reminder for Friday night ... no biggie. Thanks to John and all the guys on this one ... ironically this is a "support" purchase since my world flight currently working up through Scotland so won't get to flying the US for ages. Maybe I'll go take a quick peek at 'landmark' areas ... just so I can tell the Wife I did indeed use something I bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of waiting a few days with 124KB/s, the downloads come in at a great speed of 2.72MB/s. Another half an hour and I'm finished downloading!

bernd1151 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Everything is fine now, just as John predicted. Couldn't even access my account with FSS yesterday. But since this morning it's all fluid again and I download right now parts 3 and 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well glad for you bernd1151 but I have just tried on the UK server and well it started to download but and said between 5-6 hours, kept at it hoping it would pick up but no go, so I cancelled it and deleted it from Internet download manager incase of any probs later. Think will try again in a couple of days. Not your fault John, your dam scenery is just too good. Meant that in a nice way, it looks absolutely fantastic. Derek.

This release is kind of like what happened at the famous Woodstock music festival in 1969. The promoters were expecting about 50,000 attendees at best, and close to 500,000 showed up! But, then, as now, it all worked out in the end! Questo messaggio c'est envoyé von meinem iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
