  • 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.

July 16th Development Update

Bomber_12th

SOH-CM-2025
The latest development update is now live on the MS Flight Simulator website: https://www.flightsimulator.com/july-16th-2020-development-update/

There is a good amount of information concerning 3rd party development.

If you are signed-up as an FS Insider, there is also a new Development Roadmap in the Insider Home which takes us through the end of September, with indication of the next development roadmap being released in mid-September. Along with continued development and testing of the SDK through September, and release of more Partnership Series, the roadmap also indicates the Feedback Snapshot reports that will continue to be released on a regular basis following launch. As the Development Roadmap also indicates, a Beta Preview was released to testers today, with the Beta still on track for release on July 30th ahead of the launch date of August 18th.
 
That's good. I cannot imagine a flight simulator in the 21st century not supporting head tracking and/or virtual reality.
 
Since this line seems to have been lost on others I've seen posting elsewhere, it is worth re-pasting here from the same MSFS Dev Update I linked to above:

"Becoming a [Marketplace] partner doesn’t alter your ability to sell your content on your own websites and storefronts. Just like with FSX, you can continue to sell your content outside of our Marketplace. Becoming a Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace Partner essentially unlocks another channel for you."
