There's no posts overtaking this one so I don't think there's any need to bump it. It's just a matter of Optical actually seeing this.
Its been over a week where nothing has been said at all in regards to the issue. If you aren't aware we have 3 "admins" who could willing just state they are trying to sort this issue by reaching out to optical. We all know that sometimes opti himself doesn't like to do his own talking. Fortunately he has admins to oversee and carry the burden too. And quite frankly there is a reason to bump a topic if nothing is being done about it... Because like you said, it has to be seen. Just some food for thought.
I was just telling you all why it doesn't need to be bumped so often, but now that you've gotten so defensive maybe I should give you a bit of food for thought too. The only way Nick, Tobs, or any of us can contact Optical is here on the forums, so how do you think telling him about things like this would work? Burden this burden that, maybe you should try take some action if you think nothing is getting done? Talk to Nick or Tobs about it if it's bothering you that much, bitching and bumping a thread won't get anything done either.
If you didn't catch the point of my post... All that merely had to be said was that the issue was being worked on. If Nick or Tobs were in the works of reaching out to optical about the livemap let us know, dont leave us hanging for 8 days.
"try to take some action if you think nothing is getting done?" Thats the idea... How are any of us supposed to know if the livemap is getting worked on if we don't hear anything??
Like I said, how would you like Nick or Tobs to contact him, and what do you want them to tell you all? "Uhh hey guys, we told Optical about this issue, now lets wait for him to login and see the message"
They're gonna tell you exactly what I did. They might also tell you that they have lives, and that not everyone can be on here all the time to make this a wonderful place. It's nearing Christmas, end of semester tests/exams, give them a break eh? They do a lot more than you think and you're making it seem like they don't do jack.
I wouldn't expect anyone to be on here 24/7 lol... But to answer your question that's sort of the whole point of this topic. If they cant rectify the issue themselves the next logical step would be to contact opti no? And after all lets not forget that this is the support section of the forum. Feedback would be nice.

Edit: Also, I get that fixing an issue on the creative server is a lot easier. The server is directly owned making it a lot more assessable. But if it takes over a month get a response for a thread dedicated solely to support for our SMP server. It really makes you wonder what our priorities are.

I'm home now I can share some of my art work. I've been dying to share with you guys. I'll start with my favorite Pencil Drawing. I drew this in my High School Art class, I got an A on this one. Now to date myself, I drew this in 1998.
freaking sweet man, looks great.

Moses keep in mind the DC-10 went through several problems. Which led to the eventual ban of DC-10's used in commercial aviation.
No i do not think the DC-10 had FBW at tbe time. Although, I believe the DC-11 (the DC-10's direct brother) has a FBW system that triggers when the computers fail, like italian said.
The DC-10 was not banned from commercial service. And the MD-11 is not even remotely fly-by-wire. A douglas aircraft without cables?!?!? You must be crazy lol
Edit: The system that takes over is called redundancy Dale. A plane is either FBW or its not there's no in between, especially for commercial jets. The flight computer tells the airfoils and the other control surfaces what to do based on inputs from either the pilot or the flight computer and are executed by electrical pulses or wires (hence fly by wire). If the flight computer fails another computer takes over for the faulty one. They can either turn off or re-boot the faulty computers. If any flight-control computer whose results disagree with the others is ruled to be faulty it will be re-booted or turned off. Some airplanes have as much as 5 computers, it just depends. Basically when the main computer fails the airplane goes through checks and is out voted by the other computers for control... If that makes sense lol.
Also keep in mind that each manufacture has their own approaches with fly-by-wire. The difference between Boeing and airbus is drastic and hard to explain. But in a nut shell the pilots of a boeing aircraft with FBW can completely override the flight computer if needed. You cant with airbus. Same with the military, they have their own versions that they tweaked for their own use most likely b/c of combat reasons. But just because an airplane is fly-by-wire that does not mean its not fly-by-cable (FBC). For instance all airbus aircraft are notorious for being truly FBW. But in the event of multiple failures of redundant computers, the A320 does have a mechanical back-up system for its pitch trim and its rudder.... Aviation is very confusing. Unless you know the POH or FCOMS for an airplane you fly from cover to cover and studied for months on end you really cant say. If you take anything from this Just remember that everything in an airplane has a backup and a backup for its backup lol.
Lol... I may have been wrong.
I did however read that the DC-10 was banned from commercial aviation at some point, I have no clue if that was later lifted. I do know that DC-10's are used in some cargo transports today
Yeah the DC-10 wasnt banned it was grounded. Often after major accidents the NTSB grounds the aircraft if its problem is universal or a design flaw. Airplanes such as the concorde or more recently the 787 are good examples.

Nerd! Doesnt the DC10 have a flybywire system incase of failure? I know KC10s have tthem for redundancy.
Aircraft with fly by wire still have the same hydraulic systems as aircraft with steel cable controls. FBW just delivers the message to the actuator/motor using electric signals to move the surface. I believe the redundancy you were talking about only takes over if the flight computer crashes or is damaged (making FBW very safe). To my knowledge fly by wire aircraft cannot part force like a push rod or cable could do to an airfoil or control surface. Every input from the autopilot or done manually by the pilot is backed by hydraulics... Unless its power by wire, which I know nothing about. If wanted you could still move the control surfaces without hydraulics, that is if you're strong enough. But with a plane such as the DC-10 its nearly impossible without hydraulic fluid. Also note the first passenger airplane with fly by wire was the A320 produced in the late 1980's or something, well after the DC-10. Any who the DC-10 was a rushed design in order for Douglass Company to have the plane ready before the 747 and the L-1011. Which consequently resulted in a piece of shit with a lot of problems.
