teecee Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I may be wrong, as this may have been posted before, but here goes. http://flightsimulatorxworld.com/review/67-scenery/505-review-orbx-ftx-na-blue-the-northwest-us There is a great review of PNW on this site, but more importantly, this seems to be a relatively new site, looking for members, and it occurred to me that some of you may be interested in swelling their ranks. It looks like a well put together site, and the guys seem like a good bunch. Take a look and see what you think. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike62 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Teecee, thanks for stopping by the website. I am one of the reviewers for the website and coauthor on the PNW review. I look forward to seeing you in the forums. Mike Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Clicked that link and my download manager kicked in immediately during loading. That's a really bad move dude, no one in their right mind allows ANY web site to download anything without clicking a link. If it's a legit site then I apologise, but I'm reporting this straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 No idea what you are on about Tigerclaw. I opened the link, and posted it here as I have done many times before. If you feel that you need to "report" something, feel free to do so, the website is legit. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulS Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just to confirm - no problems here. Lots of embedded stuff on the site, it's complex, but nice to look at, am reading it now. Certainly doesn't appear to be remotely "iffy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike62 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Other then the www in the web address, I think it is the same link as John posted in the original forum post. Also, on the page there is a link to download a PDF Copy of the review so that should be the only reason a download manager would start. http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=24448.0 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Just clicked it again guys, and it did the same thing. I don't mean to be awkward, but I can't see the web site, it just tries to download something. Maybe it's a Mac thing, Safari maybe? The download manager I'm using is Folx. It catches "clicked" download links, but doesn't download stuff without clicking a link. I DID report it to the admins for them to look at it, and if nothing is wrong, then no worries. Better to be on the safe side I feel. But it definitely doesn't show a web page on my Mac, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I saw your report and checked it out, it is 100% legit and nothing to worry about, I think you have a setting in your download manager not quite right, in your case you are probably off with backward link compatibility, so go to this page and click on the review @xworld, well done thank you very much!

Milamber Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 On my system, the website opens and then IDM jumps up to download a pdf of the review. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Go to Options--> File types --> and remove .PDF from the automated downloading list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenBlade Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Mozilla opens the page with no problems, the pdf is embedded in the webpage and opens automatically. I´ve signed up to say hello, but no confirmation e-mail yet... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
