It was my pleasure, I might continue this in future for major releases, it helps people to understand the mechanics of 'our end' of the deal

[EagleSter]

Wish PMDG had people like you on their team! Really appreciate the real time updates as it makes things less aggravating for the end customers and keeps us informed and in the loop.

It's been interesting following this thread and a good insight into what's involved just to launch a product.

[TreeTops]

[timmo32]

yay!! downloading it now,looks like it will be a 7-10 hour download for me,but worth the wait!

[Roger Dodger]

Downloading now. Fluctuating on the Cloud server from 1 hr 30 mins to about 4 hours.

Pssst, (noise of first first celebratory beer Thanks Jay, amazing company, astounding customer relations.

Thanks,

Roger

[timmo32]

using the same as you roger and its saying the same,but i know it will be longer with all the traffic(people) trying too download this huge file!

[Jay Kae]

Excellent to hear guys, looks like the RailGun money was well spent

[Luiz Henrique Machado]

Jay, for me, using CDN, sometimes below 1MB/s, but its fine in Brazil, less than 1 hour.

 

[tphelps]

What an amazing thread, once again demonstrating why Orbx is, hands down, one of the finest companies on the planet. Thank you JV, JK, and team! FTXG--highly anticipated and now on the download. Ted

[jpreou]

Just popped out into the garden to cut down a couple of trees (as you do).

Inside. Shower. Egg on toast for lunch and find that FTXG is now released.

Good job guys. Order place with FSS and down it comes ....

 

[frostlp]

WOW.... I can't name ONE.. not even ONE other company willing to go to these lengths for customers. 

ASTOUNDING!!!!!

Now you can.

[VH-JLC]

its going to be a long 3 hours!!!! lol

[Jay Kae]

All nodes running nominal, slight outage in Amsterdam which has been mitigated and traffic rerouted to Frankfurt for 20 minutes

[Tonyla1]

It took a while to get a bit of speed up but now I am at 15% and fluctuating between 1100 to 1600 KB/s.

 

Considering the amount of traffic that must be on the Australian server this is excellent.

 

Well done to all those concerned, esp Jay Kae, for getting this up and running this morning.

 

Cheers

[GregJ]

Getting it....yay....

[cabnz]

I should have taken today off work. I've purchased it but can't download it untilI  get home in 7 hours. 

[Roger Dodger]

You are doing an incredible job Jay. Great terminology. Sure you didn't work for NASA before ORBX?

[Jay Kae]

I don't actually work for Orbx, I am a volunteer by choice  

 

I actually work for Big Blue

[Roger Dodger]

Should be hatched in time for my big 50 birthday tomorrow.. cheers guys.

Happy birthday (I remember my 50th, I think)
