    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.

FlySimWare Install Problem

SOH-CM-2025
Hi Flyers,

I have a couple of installers for some FlySimWare products, namely the C195 and Neiuport 24, and I have taken to the practice of not installing directly into the program folder, instead, where possible, to install into a temporary folder and then move the files myself to where I want them. I have setup my temporary folder, copying in the FSX.EXE and Prepar3d.EXE files along with folders for effects, gauges, sounds and SimObjects but these installers don't recognize them as folders they can install into. Does anyone have any idea what files they would need to be able to proceed?
 
Had the same issue a while ago with another of their products and mentioned it in a conversation with the main dev. His comment was along the lines of "Can't tell you which files the installer is looking for to recognize a valid FSX folder due to product security" and nothing more. Since I absolutely hate being told how to organize my FSX add-ons by a payware company, the installer is one of the reasons I will think very hard and more than thrice before buying another of their products.
