    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Project AI Install Program ?

I installed some scenery for FSX that calls for some PAI aircraft. Question is before I go through the process of installing this stuff. Does the PAI install program work in Windows 10 and also since the program is setup for FS9 will it install direct to FSX, if not what would be required to install them. The big question is PAI stuff is so old is it worth the trouble ?
 
How I get around this is that I created a fake FS9 directory structure and just let it install into that.
Then I copy the files over to the corresponding FSX folders.
When I'm done I go back and delete the files in the FS9 folders, so that it's all "clean" again....waiting for the next install.
 
The PAI installer is the least of your issues since the model packages themselves are hardly available anymore.


Which airplanes do you need?
 
you also need to remember to convert any FS9 flight plans to FSX, or you won't have any AI. ANY FS9 plans in the folder turn off ALL FSX plans.
 
This is a very good point. I use AI Flightplanner (AIFP) to find and convert any FS9 flight plans to FSX format.
Fortunately, AIFP is very easy to use.

That's not an issue. I have almost all saved to disk from my old FS9 days. but thanks for the offer. Sounds like a lot of hassle for a C-17 and a KC135 sitting on a ramp! I may rethink having AI for Altus scenery.
