Stay on the download server page. If I find one that is slow I stop and try another server. That worked for me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olli4740 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Mind that 11:55 pm May 31st could be a time zone different from yours ... Maybe I overlooked the discount for KTVL yesterday, maybe it was an omission initially by FSS: I just noticed that Lake Tahoe is part of the sale as well and again I am downloading with the full bandwidth my ISP delivers. And even though the 'General Discussion' is part of the 'Public' forums, this thread will not appear unless you're logged in to this site - shouldn't the sale announcement be visible without logging in as well?

bdrichmond Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Greetings, I can't download anything. It's sloooooooooooooow! You can always order the "backup DVDs" from the store. I've done it a few times and it only takes about 5 to get to me in the Middle of NOWHERE, Idaho. Great service option for those of use with limited bandwidth!

VH-KDK Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yay, wonderful news. Time to snap up the few airports I have yet to buy. The download starts of fast then it drops after a few minutes. Something that is supposed to take 10 minutes turns into hours. I'm done buying from that site. DJJ, yes it is slow at the moment because of the popularity of ORBX products and everybody trying to buy at the same time. Do yourself a favour and come back in a few days when the initial rush is over, that is what I will be doing. I have been buying from FSS for several years without any problems at all, I get a majority of my FS stuff from them. However when there is a popular event or release the demand is so big that it takes time to download. The sale is on for all of May so there is plenty of time to buy.

Kilstorm Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Having nearly 90% of all your products, theres nothing for me in this sale but as I scrolled the 5 pages of Orbx items listed at FSS, I was remembering each one of them when I brought them and how with the design of patches and flows all the fields are as fresh today as when they were released. Such a great line up. Anyone who is new to FS via say FSX:SE or other means, this is a great opportunity to really enhance the default virtual world with some amazing scenery from all corners of the globe and from the most challenging of bush strips to major international airports!
