So, if partition tables is all that is gone, what all this "gone forever" mumble about?
Compared to FSX, X-Plane was a huge disappointment for me. FSX has many years of life left in it yet.This incident shows that AVSIM was not trustable at all if we talk about proper backups. I'm glad that this happens at a time while I'm going to completely change over to X-Plane (I'll get an extra hard drive for it next month). Since 2001 AVSIM was my basic source for free sounds and liveries for MSFS (as MSFS was the basic focus of AVSIM). But since the MSFS era is going to end (slowly, but it will shrink in future), X-Plane will be my future, including payware stuff and for sure different sources than AVSIM (basically payware anyway).
Did you read the thread? OrbitHangar is not AVSIM, so it wasn't touched, and as was discussed earlier, Vash is smart enough to make backups.Let's hope that Orbithangar is not destroyed. I get most of my addons from there.
I would be extremely interested in how this was done from a technical standpoint. Gaining access to root on two separate machines is no mean feat. Unless an account with a weak password was added to sudoers and then forgotten about.
Also important! Apparently the file library was on a separate (and hopefully unaffected) NAS. *prays*
If this is the case. if someone has the out planets pack then please by all mean upload it to Orbithangar. I dont think we should upload at avsim anymore because of the way they back up is really going to screw up vital addons for this community/ I think I might have the OP pack somewhere. I just have to find it.
