    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.

Major XBox outage. It's not just you!

Most of yesterday afternoon and evening all of the gaming services were off line. The outage map showed nearly all major cities were affected by the outage. I was unable to even launch the sim but instead had a notification pop up saying I needed to connect to the internet. All Xbox services were out for several hours.
 
You know what's annoying? If you haven't run the sim before, you don't even get the popup about connecting to online services. The MSFS icon just does nothing.

And guess who had just reinstalled Windows fresh and thought MSFS must have been picking up something untowards from cloud storage or something and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't run?

Grrrrrrr. Wasted a bit of time troubleshooting because they didn't account for that particular error state.
