To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi There

Hello

Thought I would introduce myself. I have been a fan of the Elite games since the 1980s and still use my ageing Amigas to play Frontier. I am still trying to download FFE3D and the Video Pack but still no luck as yet. Guess I will keep trying.

Anyways hello to you all!

Hi Geraldine

Love the Amiga, should have kept my trusty ole 500 around. the video pack I might have to note it that I believe it will only work with the upcoming release of it. And the pack has been downloaded, I test all the downloads personally. Might want to get a helper since it is a fairly decent size download.

I will try to get some feedback on the video pack to confirm it.

Hi Darkone

Thanks for your reply!

I can almost get the files, but the download quits just before they complete. Almost got ffe3d_v112b_244.zip, down to 1mb remaining then it quit. Arrrgh!

Also got about 3 quarters of they way with the video pack. Would there be a "best time" to do the downloads? I was thinking that perhaps the servers maybe overloaded. Any advice you could give would be helpful. Thanks!

Oh, if you still like Amigas, there there is always the Amiga Forever Emulator, it even makes disc accessing noises!

Here is the web site:

Just thought I would post a link to George Hooper's site that I used to finally get FFE3D. This download package includes all the manuals, the latest version of FFE3D (with some upgrades to the ship models) and JJFFE, plus the video pack is there too, but its large, if you want it. The link was kindly provided by Robbo on the Frontier Forum.

Thanks. Looking into peoples issues but don't see anything wrong 🙂 I can fully download all files from 3 different locations (my home, friends house and work) so not sure if it is on my end or not. But there might be some tweaks I can apply on the server end to maybe help.
