    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.

Installing, waiting, or sticking with 2020?

I just went back to 2020 to see if a couple of glitches in the new Super Stearman were 2024-related, and boy, it's amazing how much smoother 2024 is. I'd gotten used to the occasional stutters, pauses, and hitches in 2020, but man, those shouldn't be happening with a 13900K/4090 system. MSFS 2024 has loads of issues, but it's sooo smooth in comparison. Really hoping that this week's patch addresses the egregious problems with 2020 planes and sceneries (pilots, dark displays, etc.) so that I can shift most of my flying to it.

Same as you, I went and tried to load 2020, which was working fine just before 2024 release. It crashed on loading! The ONLY change I had made was loading it and doing some of the updates that had come out, especially for some of the MSMP aircraft since 2024 release. I shut it down after the updates, and went back to 2024. I tried to check if the new GAS Super Stearman would show, as it wasn't showing in 2024. The 2020 sim crashed about 30% loading. Turns out the Super Stearman wasn't showing in 2024 because it was in wrong folder.

What I mostly like in 2024 is the smoothness, and the MUCH improved tire traction on take-off, and much better rudder and tailwheel control! I have not had a single taildragger go off the left side of the runway, yet.
