    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.

Controller causing CTD?

Fired up the sim today. It finished loading, got to the "landing page", where you can select planes, starting airports, etc, then CTD'd. Tried again, same result. Started trouble shooting. Renamed the Community folder. No joy. Disconnected the VR headset. Nope. Safe mode? No. Windows was up to date. Updated the drivers for the RTX 2080. Still crashed. This was strange. The last flight I made was last weekend, and nothing unusual happened. Since that time I hardly even touched this computer. Tried launching the sim from the original shortcut, instead of the batch file that FSUIPC created. That didn't make any difference. Then I disconnected all my controllers. Bingo! It booted without crashing. Now, which controller had gone sideways? Plugged them in, one at a time. It was the Logitech switch panel. The one with the landing gear handle. I just bought that thing a couple months ago. Tried plugging it into a different USB port. Tried cycling all the switches. Nope. It's dead Jim. What a waste of money. Maybe this will help somebody here if you run across a similar problem.
 
Interesting. So maybe it's a driver issue and not a hardware failure issue. Didn't consider that because I've had this unit plugged in and working just fine for several months, and all of a sudden it quit playing nice.
