  • 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.

I'm now in and here are my thoughts.

Like WOW. Okay, I did some upgrades to my fairly new PC, 16 more GB of stick for a total of 32 GB, and a Samsung SSD drive. I retained my NVIDIA 1060, and plan to upgrade in the future. But dang if the 1060 isn't performing like a charm and I use a pretty high setting for all. Except the trees! Too many damn trees! You cannot go lower than LOW and that is way too many. Also, I live in the piney woods and they have far too many deciduous trees. But that's nit picking. The monoliths are a problem for all, but again, I think that will be worked out. But the scenery and the aircraft and the joy of flying almost like being up in a real plane is magnificent. I like being able to adjust things when I started out without leaving the flight. It's a new day. I can see, however, where those probably with slow Internet may have a problem. I have hyper-Internet, my son requires it. I'm pulling in 500 MiBps on the Ethernet and 300 on the WiFi 5G. The SSD does not make the sim any faster, it just makes load times much faster. But it gets an "A" in my book. I have certainly enjoyed my time spent so far. Is it better than FSX? You betcha.
 
Just taken a look at some videos of flights over Edinburgh and rest of Scotland, which confirm my suspicion that this is a sim for the USA. Buildings and castles replaced with tower blocks, etc. Pretty dire.
Will save (a lot of) money on upgrades and stick with FSX, thank you !

Lefty, there are quite a few, and more everyday, mods on historic landmarks in Europe. Here is one of the sites that posts the mods. These may make your home flight even more enjoyable.
