Turns out the server had a bad memory module in it. That was the cause for the server outage this morning and late last night. It has now been replaced and appears to be working again for the time being. I'll be keeping a much closer eye on the server for the next few days. Hopefully I'll be...

The server will be taken offline for 15-30 minutes some time today for a RAM upgrade. I'll be posting again once the upgrade is complete.

Sorry all for the sudden downtime just now. With the recent DoS attack revealed for Apache, I thought it would be a good idea to get this patched up sooner rather than later. We should be good to go once again. Thank you all for your patience. If you notice any incorrect site behavior...

And we're back again (well, have been for some time now). For anyone who's curious about the downtime earlier today, the cause was a DDoS attack against a wide range of servers at the hosting facility which holds this server. We were not one of the targets, but the attack managed to bring down...

Orbit Hangar Mods is open once again for users to log in and upload content. If you have an OHM-only login, your password has been reset for you. That is, if you do not log in to Orbit Hangar Mods using your Orbiter-Forum account, you will need to submit a password reset request here...

As you may have noticed, the Orbit Hangar - New Releases forum has been renamed to "OrbitHangar Addons & Comments". This forum now contains one thread for every single add-on present on Orbit Hangar Mods. As it was before, a new thread will be created every time an add-on is uploaded. What is...

The new add-on rating system at Orbit Hangar Mods is up and running. This new system is very friendly and easy to use (at least I hope it is). If you have an Orbiter-Forum account, simply head on over to http://orbithangar.com/ and log in using the same account information you use to log in at...

Yes, that time has finally come. I am currently in the process of merging OHM and O-F accounts. There are going to be a lot of changes on Orbit Hangar Mods and I know there will be a lot of questions, so I'm going to outline what will happen here. UPDATE: The account merge is now complete...

Every time some user uploads a "simple", "stupid", or otherwise lacking scenario, tutorial, or playback, I receive numerous complaints from users. If not by direct e-mail to me, I see the complaints posted on the forums here. While it's not all too surprising that people don't appreciate just...

I have made a few changes on the server which should make both Orbit Hangar Mods and Orbiter Forum far more accessible from public locations such as college campuses (assuming that they don't have the sites blocked). I was previously limiting the number of allowed connections per IP address...

I am adding a new feature to the web site which will allow database entries to be made which point to add-ons hosted on other web sites. Put simply, what this means is that Orbit Hangar Mods will be indexing all Orbiter add-ons no matter where they are hosted. This will make Orbit Hangar Mods...

Maybe it's just me, but as far as I can tell, my vessel's destructor is never being called. The reason why I say this is that I have allocated a few texture resources using oapiLoadTexture. If I change those textures in my vessel dll and completely restart orbiter, the old textures still load...

There was a topic a while back about converting EVE ships for use in Orbiter, but unfortunately the person who started it was unable to get the ships converted properly. I decided to give this a shot myself on Friday (which poured over into Saturday). After a truckload of pain, trial and...

As some of you may or may not have noticed, there has been a slight update to the Orbit Hangar Mods web site. I would just like to use this thread to overview some of the new features offered by the site as well as have an open discussion for anyone who may have any ideas or criticisms of the...

I've written a web installer for Orbiter and I'd like to get a few opinions from some of you out there before I post it publicly. Right now the installer is just a 227 KB exe which guides the user through a simple installation process. The user is given the options of which packages to...

What's going on: Some of you may have noticed lately that the Orbit Hangar Mods server has been going offline, is very slow, or just simply seems entirely unresponsive. After some extensive digging through log files, I've discovered that the site is under attack, and actually has been for quite...

I've been working for the past couple of days on a new layout for the Orbit Hangar Mods web site. I thought I'd share it with everyone here in hopes of getting some constructive criticism on what I have so far. You can see what the new front page of the site will look like here: (EDIT: There...
