    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.

Gauge Keystroke

Looking through the potential key/button assignments I stumbled upon one called "Gauge Keystroke" (unassigned by default as far as I can tell). The description makes it sound like it would allow one to use a keyboard to enter GPS airport codes, etc instead of using VC dials and buttons.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I tried assigning it to a button on one of my controllers and I'm not so sure it works. After putting the GPS into ICAO entry mode, I've tried activating this and then pressing letters and number on the keyboard and no luck. I've tried pressing it and keys at the same time, still no luck.

It'd be great to be able to use the keyboard to type letters and numbers rather than the dials. (I think I read somewhere where Asobo will be making more GPS binding combinations available in some future update, so that will help, but I'd still just rather type the airport code like the GPS in older sims)

There are many key assignments or offsets that don't work. FSUIPC lists offsets for the G1000 and the GPS keys. None of the ones I tried worked. This 'game' is like the old dumb blonde stereotype, easy on the eyes but not much depth.
