Access Issues to the ATAG Forum

[Artist]

I'd need the IP adresses of those unable to reach the ATAG forum to supply our provider with the ranges to unblock

So, if you cannot reach the ATAG forum, visit https://whatsmyip.com, note down the IP-address, then switch to the mean (VPN, Tor, mobile, ...) with which you can reach ATAG Forum and post the the IP-address here.

Snapper’s IP (blocked):

69.159.51.85

​Snapper edit: it works!!!!!

I only have VPN on my iPhone (I would have to pay extra to extend VPN to other devices - such as my PC). For the first time in several weeks I can now access this forum on my PC. This is great, because as handy as my iPhone is due to its mobility, my PC is far better for the various under-the-hood activities I need to make frequently here.

Thanks, Artist!!!

The hoster has changed stuff ... anybody noticing a difference?

I've posted the above along with your observations that things may be improving over at the iL-2 forum.

I can access the site. It is working now from Sweden.

It was working fine until 15th October when I went to the UK. It worked fine there too until I came back to Sweden on 7th November. After that it was blocked until now (it didn't work 2 hours ago though).
I had not experienced any other blockages until 7th November at all anywhere.
I have never used VPN.

Can access without VPN too

Hey Chatbot, I asked, is hope.exe still running?

Chinese studios are entering the flight simulation arena with a distinct strategy compared to Western counterparts. The Chinese government has heavily supported simulation technology, blending military and civilian development under policies like civil–military fusion. Promising projects are emerging from aerospace firms with entertainment divisions, such as AVIC Simulation Technology and Beijing Flight Control Tech, which are developing high-fidelity simulators for both training and entertainment.

Meanwhile, companies like Tencent and Skylane Studio are working on more realistic flight simulations, though these remain in early stages. Chinese developers generally excel in graphics and rendering but lack experience in Western-style flight dynamics, often prioritizing visual immersion over technical depth. However, collaborations with aerospace universities are rapidly bridging that gap, aiming to create a domestic alternative to Western simulators like DCS World.

Ironically, a modest operation like Team Fusion could benefit enormously from this trend. Chinese studios have the technical expertise but lack cultural understanding of WWII aviation history, authentic engine behaviour, and the Western player base. Partnerships or licensing could be mutually beneficial—for example, porting the Cliffs of Dover engine into a new platform or integrating it into VR demos for domestic headsets. The appetite is there.

Still, a word of caution: once Chinese studios achieve technical parity and combine it with their growing strength in AI and physics modelling—something they are fast approaching—it will pressure small Western teams to either cooperate or differentiate through unique authenticity, craftsmanship, and historical fidelity.

[ATAG_Lenny]

Yes, yes and yes.

The hoster has changed stuff ... anybody noticing a difference?

Yes, it's fine now. Without needing VPN.
Thanks!

Hey Chatbot, I asked, is hope.exe still running?

Yes.

But it only runs on DOS 3.2

[ATAG_Lenny]

Hah! I got it running on DOS 3.3. Although I had to make some tweaks to my autoexec.bat and config.sys. Oh and install QEMM.
