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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Asobo automatic changes

- Start date
Could you kindly elaborate?
I am stuck in an unwanted "Update" cycle so I can't get to the screens you mention.

The changes were not the typical update download. They appeared as query screens that required user input after starting MSFS.
Among those screens was one for the selection of bing or non-bing data. Another showed all Assistance options as easy. One indicated your controls such as mouse, keyboard, etc.
When I started a flight, just before the last fly instruction, it showed my aircraft and scenery in a series of different views in motion. A nice feature.
After restarting MSFS, another query requested choosing between a UI (user interface) of cloud or local. I chose local and that resulted in using old Assistance data and the old-style screen starting a flight,
I have not found how to select the cloud UI again yet, if that is possible

You sure you're not in the Beta Flight? I just checked and I get nothing like that on my end running the current stable 1.22.2.0 version.

I don't get anything like that either...Nothing out of the ordinairy during loading MSFS...
What i do remember is that i wasn't able to fly MSFS for a day or 3 because Asobo changed the default setting of 'Assistance'.... They changed it to 'Easy' and i didn't know about that. So i went screaming up the wall for 3 days because i couldn't figure out for the life of me why for Pete's sake and butter my butt and call me a biscuit somebody would floor the throttle every time i touched it !
The same happend while trying to use rudder pedals or elev trim. No way i could set either of these without them being mysteriously set back to neutral position instantly. Drove me crazy!
I love Asobo but i would kindly asked them not to do that again! #!%*&^!!%$#

Perhaps I got temporarily into the beta by accident. It was not intentional on my part and I don't know how if I wanted to.
Anyway, I still show the 1.22.2.0 version and all seems to be so.Thanks for informing me of the beta flight possibility.

I've had that, after a couple of Updates.
Now I check the Assistance settings & Graphics etc before the 1st post update flight.
