  • 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.

So...what did they do?
They caused mine to crash on loading. I flew successfully for over an hour this afternoon before the update was released. Now, after reloading and having the update automatically download and install, it crashes about 10-15 seconds into initial load. I've tried 4 times, including 2 with closing XBox app. Getting ready to restart computer.

After a reboot, the sim loads to 25 seconds before crashing, at the same time after 4 tries. I had installed FSRealistic, (actually updated it,) inbetween flights. I tried uninstalling FSRealistic, no change, still laods to 25 seconds then throws an error and stops loading. Anyone else having this problem?

I've launched MSFS 2024 several times today, and the update has not downloaded. Does anyone know how to initiate the download/install if it doesn't happen automatically.

Mine did it automatically. I guess it works like Windows updates, when MS thinks it's time.?

I finally went to forums, seems to be happening quite a bit. I ended up uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling. Works now. Next thing to fix, also listed in bug report forums is CTD on exit, (every time,) and Tobii Eye Tracker wanders from center. I'll do that tomorrow.
 
Yep...I just booted MSFS 2024 and the download started automatically...Mystery solved!
Hopefully it starts and operates normally. Mine went boots up while starting after downloading and installing the update. Required an uninstall, reboot puter, then reinstall. All working fine now. Took less than 1/2 hr to do all, including quick test flight. Love the loading times now.
 
They have soooo much more to do. I would be expecting pretty consistent update going forward for awhile.
