    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.

ATC & AI GA Traffic With SU3

FAC257

SOH-CM-2026
One of my primary complaints about MSFS2024 all along has been the useless ATC and non-sensical GA traffic.

With some of the messages I saw leading up to the release of SU3, I was really interested to see what if anything had improved with either of those. Once I had SU3 up and flying, I can actually say I am more than okay with what I'm seeing and hearing right now. The ATC messages while not technically perfect vs what some might be expecting, have improved to a point where they aren't obnoxious anymore. The GA traffic has also improved a lot since the last time I tried it. The visible aircraft seem reasonably believable, and I haven't seen any of them doing goofy things so far. The only obvious issue is that most of the registration numbers are "AS-Cessna, AS-Piper" etc.

So as far as how I fly, I dumped the Simbrief/BeyondATC combo and went back to default MSFS with just FSLTL.

The one funny thing I did just see on my last Bahamas landing was the tarmac lined up with 6 identical Beech T-34s, so I decided I must have landed at the home field of the Bahamian National Aerial Demo Team. :)
