  • 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.

A little help please

My upper menu, showing the down arrow when the cursor is placed at the top of the msfs screen, stopped showing. How do I get it back on?:dizzy:

Also the instruments that show in external mode don't show. How are they turned back on?:dizzy:

Appreciative of any help.

Problem partially solved

Emptying the community folder brought back both the upper menu and external view instruments.:jump:

Now to isolate the cause by adding back in the addons.

I think odd things are happening with MSFS at the moment.
2 days ago everything was ok.
Yesterday, I started MSFS with no changes between the days, by me, & I found the 'Assistance' settings had changed overnight.
I have most of them turned off normally.
The overlay display on the screen of your height, speed etc, [HUD?] was on. I always have it off.
I changed the settings back to how I could remember I had them, restarted MSFS & in the boot up it asked me to reinstall MSFS Standard Edition!
I backed out of that & booted again & this time it was all ok, so I don't know what was going on.

With my extraordinary flight sim precognition, I see a quick fix on the short term horizon.

I have experience many of the abnormalities (or maybe they are normalities?) you have experience. From reading flight sim forums we are not alone.
 
The non-synch situation was short lived.
Restoring all previous community files did not cause the upper toolbar or instrument readouts to fail.:dizzy:

All is well now.

Have you tried signing out and resigning into your MS account. That's sort of like the turn it off then back on. Amazing how fixes things so often.
