  • 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.

FTX EU England SP5

Thanks Dave,

Installed and running. Not visited any of the POI yet but will check tonight.
 
Gosh! Lucky you Roger, I can't extract the files with 7 zip for some unknown reason! Never had this issue with ORBX updates before!

My download is opened with adobe reader, and then files extracted using 7 zip. But, alas and alack, it says unable to open file as archive!:indecisiveness:


All my previous ORBX downloads extract the files without any problems at all, only this one!:banghead:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As you have been advised at the FTX forum, you need to remove the association of .zip files from Adobe Reader.
 
Oh hi Nick:wavey:
Mate, I really don't quite understand what that means!
How do I remove the association with adobe please?
And, when I actually do, how do I download and extract files etc.? I'm kind of struggling with this a bit!:dejection:
Hope you can help?

I had that once. I think it was with the .air file. Right click on the file you want to open and select Open with. Then you can choose the program you want to use and set it to use that in future with that sort of file.

(I think that's right, but maybe better to wait until someone who knows about these things confirms it before trying it!)
 
I think so too.
Here is my reply from the other forum.
Find a .zip file and right click on it.

In the list you will see open with, select that and from the drop down menu,
select choose another app.
Select 7zip if it is in the list and tick the always use this app to open .zip files.
If it's not in the list, select Windows File Explorer instead and do the same.
Then click on OK.
Click to expand...
 
Thanks for your help guys, greatly appreciated!šŸ‘šŸ˜‰
I shall make another assault on the SP5 front when back from work!

All sorted now, (thank goodness); it seems that somehow, I'd set my default program to the adobe one instead of 7 zip DOH!:banghead:
