    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.

Hotfix for the Hotfix is now available.

I STILL cannot reinstall! :banghead::banghead::banghead: My download from the store, after going through every fix I can find, is still stuck on "pending" even though every other app works and updates fine.

I've had this problem with MS Store updates, and the solution has been to clear out the download cache.

Here's the official reply on a fix:

I know I once had to find where the files are located and manually delete them.

Also, if you ever have to reinstall from scratch, choose your own folder for the big download after installation, instead of the default. It not only makes your Community folder way easier to find, but it also lets your 100GB+ download survive a reinstall.

Some other troubleshooting info if that doesn't help:

Hi James


Thanks for the screenshot, we did find the account this time and the entitlements have been manually redeemed on your account. The packages should now be available to download and install via the Content Manager.


Best regards,
Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Team

This did indeed fix my ERROR 3 problem, BUT nothing else as I had hoped.


The most serious problem remains which is the freezing of a flight load requiring aborting MSFS. Following the abort a restart of MSFS will start the menus but not allow a flight from anywhere. A reinstall is required.


I've reinstalled at least a dozen times. The sim performs well with World update 2 USA for USA starting points, but fails on some POI's and some airports other than the USA while addition World Updates are installed. Different World update combinations cause different starting points to fail.


It's curious that this problem occurs on some PC's and not others. Could it be a PC limitation that appears because of SU5. Maybe my 16 GB RAM is limiting . I think many of you have 32 GB RAM. Any thoughts?


I'll have to be content flying the USA for now and wait for fixes. I'm tired with the reinstalls and problem isolation attempts.:dizzy:
 
My zendesk ticket on the Japan download error:3 thingy is now 11 days old without response.
Not a good score if you ask me!:neglected:
