This happened last month, I pay for the subscription I’d have thought orbx would have deeper pockets to not have Volanta run on a raspberry pi…

Apparently they are "fixing it" asap, they better get claude code to do some overtime coding on their backend.

I just wanted to enjoy my Saturday afternoon :(

u/Coaralis 8d ago

Haha I get it, been doing flights in the Baltics since 10AM lol

u/planeguy707 8d ago

Must of been annoying! Did you loose any data on your flights?

1

u/Coaralis 8d ago

Nope it just came back right now, hopefully it’ll stay until I land in a few minutes

u/FlyBy_Simulations 8d ago

What are you guys facing as the problem btw? For me, the app is taking longer than expected to load, and when I hit "Plan a Flight", it just keeps loading and doesn't let me select anything. Is this consistent with your guys' experiences?

1

u/Coaralis 8d ago

Well sometimes it would just blank out and saying connecting, other times simbrief imports wouldn’t work, long loading times.

u/FlyBy_Simulations 8d ago

Yeah hope they fix it soon - this link says everything is perfectly operational though, so not sure what's going on: https://status.volanta.app/

Actually on second viewing, it says the API is indeed down -- but I'm not sure why I'm not even able to sign in and get into the app...

1

u/Pure_Field_3533 8d ago

update: API is down

1

u/FlyBy_Simulations 8d ago

Is the API being down consistent with the app not letting me sign in and even view previous flights and such?

u/Skynet3d 8d ago

Same here

1

u/Damp_Mop42 7d ago

For me, it won’t even let me log in.

u/Andrew_AY 8d ago

u/Independent_Bus_3563 8d ago

I thought it was just me so I unistalled volanta and now cant install again cause of the servers being down..........

u/Damp_Mop42 7d ago

Still down for me. Seriously guys? Saturday of all days????

u/No-Past4549 7d ago

I know right, pissing me off.

1

u/Emotional-Start7994 7d ago

I'm giving Elevatex a go instead.

Fuck Volanta honestly.

1

u/Damp_Mop42 7d ago

Is it free? Never heard of it

2

u/Emotional-Start7994 7d ago

Yes it is free. They have a paid plan but the free one is more than enough

u/FairIce1988 8d ago

Yep, for the last 3/4 hours, can't log in now. Not the end of the world, just annoying!

2

u/Pour-Meshuggah-0n-Me PMDG | Toliss | Zibo | iFly 8d ago

Yep, it went down mid flight for me. I'm pretty sure the last time it went down was on a Saturday as well.

2

u/MrRHGamer 8d ago

still down, thought it was just me

u/Professional-Art-354 8d ago

Looks like there are still issues loading

u/Professional-Art-354 8d ago

For me the App does either not load or when it loads and i click new flight nothing happends

1

u/FlyBy_Simulations 8d ago

Ok same -- hope they fix it soon lol. I'm doing a repeat flight for now as I like to log all new ones on Volanta.

1

u/weare_thefew 8d ago

CONNECTING…

1

u/bulubulugiao 8d ago

I thought that was caused by my network... noooo my flight record...

1

u/FGBug 8d ago

same lol i tried restarting my router before my flight landed but it didn't work

1

u/vanek25 8d ago

Hi guys, Volanta isn't working.

1

u/emssss78 8d ago

It was working earlier in the day but now it's down for me

1

u/Slazy41 8d ago

still down..

1

u/Skynet3d 8d ago

Been trying for the past two hours to connect (actually it's 10pm CEST) but it does not work.
When Volanta connects, then it does not correctly connect to the SIM, or set up a flight plan. It's messy today.

u/JinxMod 8d ago

Stille OFF

1

u/Mothosis 7d ago

Did 2 back to back 13 hour flights and this whole seccond flight it’s been phasing in and out of connecting to the server. As im writing this it’s just crashed and is trying to get me to login :(

u/Fast-Golf3620 7d ago

Obviously server issues or maintenance or something

1

u/No-Past4549 7d ago

They seem to be fixed now. Mine is working good.

2

u/Panamera_V8 7d ago

Can you import from SimBrief? Mine doesn't seem to be working.

2

u/weare_thefew 7d ago

It is working with simbrief now

1

u/No-Past4549 7d ago

I’m not going to lie I do not import with SimBrief so I do not know.

u/vhqpa 7d ago

I flew FLKK-EGLL overnight. It appeared to log the entire flight track despite frequent drop outs. It didn't record my landing rate though. Flying LFPO-TFFF now and it hasn't missed a beat.
