  • 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.

Is There A Choice of What You Download?

I have read that 2024 may take up less space on our PC's than 2020, with a fair amount of the data being streamed.
If you take say, the Base Package, with its 70 aircraft - some of those I will never fly so I am wondering whether I can pick & choose among them which I want to download & use, similarly for Airports, or do we just download the whole Package & all the 70 aircraft & all the Base airports end up on the PC?

As I understand it, just about everything is loaded on demand at the beginning of the flight, including planes. But I was told over at the official forum that you do have the option of local storage of just about any asset, which should give you the ability to make tweaks, though it will start to increase that 50GB pretty quickly.

With the added advantage that it would help people with less than optimal bandwidth.

Personally, I'm not convinced (yet) about the advantages of streaming. But maybe that's me being old school.
