    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.

Peoples are still building and painting and scenery creating so it must be pretty much the Flight Sim , tho I was gifted P3D3.5 and outta the box so to speak, it is a Hick Himmmm WOW, with scenery I can build on FSX then add to P3D so its good news all round.
 
And this coming Thursday marks the 16th birthday of CFS2. As much grief as MS gets for the quirks and shortcomings of their operating systems, I gotta say they did the FS community right with CFS2 and FSX. :encouragement:
 
In many ways MS helped FSX by leaving it alone after Acceleration: the code hasn't changed since and developers have had a stable base to build on ever since, for all its faults. The limits still haven't been reached with what can be done, not quite. Few packages have had such a run.
 
Agreed. FSX has been a game changer for me. I lost track of the hours I have spent on it years ago, and I only installed it in 2009. It is such a versatile program and has taught me everything from how to use a PC, and so much about aviation in general along with so much about geography. I don't know what I would have done with all that time if I never installed FSX.

Cheers,
 
Flight simmimg since Atari days. FSX was the best release of the franchise when it came out. I think most of us were devastated when ms dropped it. That hasn't stopped the thousands of addons that have kept it alive and kicking.

Thanks for providing many hours of enjoyment
