    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.

FPS Measurement Disparity

When SU5 was released instead of an FPS increase I experienced a decrease. I was using the shift-Z program that gives an output similar to the FSX shift-Z display. The FPS dropped from a max of 50 before SU5 to a max of 40 after SU5, with the FPS in MSFS set to 60.

I then loaded the MSI Afterburner program and at similar conditions the FPS(set at 60) registered between 58-60, while the shift-Z program recording simultaneously registered 35-40 FPS. Which to believe?
FPS set at 20 and at 30, shift-Z and MSI gave identical max readings of 20 and 30.

As an aside measurements were made of the temperatures.

SET 20 30 60 FPS
GPU 50 59 68 Deg C
CPU 41 47 55 Deg C

I personally use the GeForce Experience overlay for my frames. I tried the Shift Z addon, but I don't like it when it advertises itself with every view cycle. Unlike the original built-in feature, there's no way to know where it's getting its frame data.
