    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.

Making a custom panel for a second monitor view?

I bought a second monitor at a thrift store last week for $5. A very good deal, as it works great! What I want to use it for is my cockpit instrument view. I have the Mini Panel by WeFly, which works fine, but wondered how hard would it be to make a custom panel of the gauges I want, instead?

Yep, I figured FSPanel Studio will do the job, but can't justify spending the cash on it right now.....Thanks though! NC
 
Editing the panel.cfg file is pretty easy, find a 2d panel you want to copy from. Hardest part is figuring out what gauge is which
 
If you have an IPad, even a generation one, I found a great FSX app! It's by Remote Flight Apps. remoteflight.net/
I bought the Bundle and saved a few bucks. I got the moving Map HD app, the Cockpit HD, and the Radio HD apps. Bundled I saved $10. ( ITunes app store )
The free server software connects the sim to the IPad by wifi. It was easy to set up.
The apps give me a touch screen radio panel, map or gauge panel. The sim radios change with the touchscreen app. I now have a full fledged touch screen radio panel. Or gauge panel.
