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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Modelr, when you get to downloading the main files, DO NOT take the default install older. Create a new folder like C:\MSFS or D:\FlightSimulator, and put the OneStore/Community files there. It will not only make those folders much easier to find later, but it can also prevent the downloads from being wiped out by update install issues or reinstallation, and it helps prevent "path too long" errors.MS Store just updated on my machine, as well as Gaming services, and my MSFS 2020 just started downloading.After trying everything I could find, including reinstalling Windows 10, and having nothing work. Now, to install and do the rest of the downloading.

DennyA, thanks for the tip, but I didn't read it till after the install was done. I might move it using the Windows app moving program, later.
It took me three hours just to get the program to load after installation. Followed the Zendesk help article on CTDs by turning off a bucket load of background programs, none of which caused trouble before update SU5. Finally got it to load, and do preliminary downloads. Now nearly done with Content Manager downloads. Am not going to load any Community items till I'm sure the sim is working properly. Will have to wait till tomorrow to try starting a flight.
