  • 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.

Couple of issues

Does anyone else find they have to click on a menu option twice, eg the menu while flying, to make it do what you want. Sometimes it works, other times you have to click twice. Quite annoying if on approach and you need a hand on the throttle and the other on the stick while trying to close the menu with the mouse!

Also, tonight while flying the 747 I was fine for half an hour and then without pressing any buttons as far as I am aware, my throttle inputs were ignored and the engines could not be spooled down. I check the assists and AI flying the plane was turned off. So I couldn't land - it was not slowing down below 400 knots since the engines were nearly at full thrust.

Perhaps it's a feature and I've missed something.......somewhere.

Maybe Active pause was on? everything runs accept your motion. So sounds etc. are all going. including the world around you. Maybe you accidentally hit that momentarily? I was going to recommend active pause for helping you out in those moments.

Hi Rick,

Active pause was definitely not on, but I should use that when it happens again rather than fumbling around and eventually crashing!
