    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.

Differences?

I am running MSFS from the $1 Xbox live. Is there any difference from the full price version. Reason I’m asking is that I downloaded 3 new sceneries, put them in the community folder and they don’t show up on the world map. The sim also crashes to desktop after a couple of minutes. I have the sim loaded on my E: drive.

getting more and more frustrated with this thing. Have a very slow d/l speed (took two days to d/l) and now another large update to download. Nice graphics but finding I’m enjoying XP-11 much more.
 
I dont know what it is with these guys Bob, but they seem to relish slow downloads..

From what I remember when i was using the XBox Game Pass. there are some differences in functionality as well as number of aircraft and Scenery's.. But outside of that, there isnt much difference "If I recall". Mind you, my memory is nothing to crow about and I could be very wrong.. I DID become very frustrated with the One Dollar a month Game Paass Version as I felt it just wasnt complete, ( more like, I wanted more than a cessna to fly )So I purchased the upgrade through the Game Pass to the Full version which was 89 dollars. I then got completely P'O'd at the Game Pass version, cancelled my subscription and bought the 120 dollar version straight out.. Same number of planes as in the upgrade by the way, but I now have Dev Mode available. I also gained the ability to install the sim where I wanted it to be, instead of my App Data folder.. Outside of those things though, I dont know of any differences..
