  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Has anybody else encountered this?

Hi all;

I've been away from FSX for awhile with having to get a new PC and dealing with some family health issues, but I've missed getting my digital feet off the ground, so I'm trying to inch my way back into the Sim. I'm wanting to make some changes to an aircraft CFG file using Notepad (as I always used to do), but when I go to save it as a .txt file I get an "Access denied" message. I'm using 64-Bit Windows 7 Professional and I'm noticing it does a lot of things differntly from the 64-Bit Windows 7 Home Premium I used to run on my old machine...

Thanks,

N.
 
Windows updates can sometimes change your sharing permissions. Check your sharing options and permissions for the folders and files you want to edit.

As I am the only user on my pc I have pulled the UAC lever to the bottom (ie off) but as Gordon says even when you have switched UAC off a new update will sometimes put UAC on a higher level of security. Bloomin' annoying when you've edited away and you are told that access is denied.

I had to go into my folder options and give myself full control over the path and subfolders and files.
Once I did that I am now able to change my cfg files.
