    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.

Initalization Failure

Charter Member 2011
I had a clear out of my old FS9 files before christmas in anticipation of flying over the holidays:help:

Anyway today is the first time I have tried to start FS9 since and I get and an initalization failure on start up.

My mind has gone totally blank, I cannot remember if starting FS9 in safe mode or something similar will by pass this, anyway I cannot remember what the heck to do!!

I know the easy way would be to reinstall the aircraft, but I can not remember which one it is either!

Please help.

Thanks
 
Sounds like you might have removed the default C-172 Cessna Skyhawk. You didn't give us enough info on what you "cleaned out." If you saved all the files you cleaned out, (you did, didn't you???) then just reinstall that folder. If you didn't, you're in for a reinstall of the program.
 
Sorted now, I have been using FS9 all this time and never knew you could reset the default settings via the troubleshooting option in the windows menu!

I am glad I do not have to re-install.
