  • 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.

You should always keep your graphics card up to date.

I respectfully disagree.
When your system [and FSX] functions without issue simply do NOT succumb to every update that pops up [for usually no good reason....check the logs and you'll find most will be pointless].
Often new releases can add issues not performance.
Win 7 Ult 64 here ...driver ver is 23.21.13.9065 [actually recent - March 1 '18] ....and using a GTX980...;)
 
I agree JAFO so Many Variables ..New Drivers Designed for latest games..We Know the Venerable FSX may not handle the new tech For it does not have it..however if it all works You DO NOT TOUCH IT...Be Careful for what You ask for Thnx HAPPY LANDINGS!!
 
I also agree with JAFO. I find a driver that works well, then stick with that one. If there is a problem, I'd try new drivers, but new drivers tend to add support for new cards and new games, rarely do they seem to have a real benefit for older cards or old games and sims, but may introduce problems with old games or sims.
 
Simulators are a category of games, just get over it. Playing games doesn't make you a child. Most of them are not meant for children. That's the misconception that leads to thinking **** like "playing violent games makes violent children" when clearly there's an age indication. If you buy your kid the latest Doom, you're the psychopath.

Aaaand that's completely off topic, so:

Use the latest drivers, unless they cause some issue, in which case use the immediately older version.

The problem is when you have many flight sims or other newer software AND the older stuff (FSX) and need it all to play nice with the GPU driver...
