  • 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.

Just click on the fs2020 shortcut that was loaded into your pc as part of the preorder process. If it launches, you are in. Prior to the 18th, it gave me a message box that I was too early.
 
Think I've got it. It "seems" to be downloading & installing now. Pretty weird music too.
Thanks for the help.
 
The download is being pushed out by timezone also. Until your timezone goes active you can't start the download.

I have to wait until I can leave my laptop at a friends house to do the download. I simply put can't download more than 15GB in a single month without getting throttled. once throttled it would take me years to download 130+ GB.
 
The core program according to Aerosoft is 90GB. I believe that is without the scenery and aircraft. I saw an article the other day that stated "you will download 137GB but there will be more".

The 90GB in disc form would be hugely helpful for everyone world wide. If you are buying it get the disc from Aerosoft.

I wish (and I am not alone) that I could get them here.

Indeed, I wish the same - in fact I could've got the disc version had I waited a day before pre-ordering. At the point of pre-ordering I didn't know that was an option!!
 
I have 95.15 Gig (I believe). It went smoothly, all 7-8 hours of it. I got a message saying I don't have the minimum computer requirements to run the program. And that's after I had my computer upgraded to the max. configuration to handle it. I believe that we have a whole new ballgame with this version.
