    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.

Marketplace Purchase Location Change

Apologies if this has been asked before .....

Can you move market place purchased airports from the default location to another, then use the Addon Linker to bring into use as required ?

I have MSFS 2020 (Steam) on a 1TB SSD that has a few other bits on, but with all the updates etc its getting a touch full. I've just added a 2TB SSD and would quite like to copy/cut and paste the small number of purchased airports to the new drive. I've located the purchases in Users/"ME"/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/Packages/Official/Steam but is it really that simple to move ?

Any experience / wisdom going ?
 
There was a thread about this in the 2024 board:

Steam move....?

My C drive is almost full. Main reason : Steam ! (both MSFS 2020 and 2024 bought from Steam) According to many suggestions on the internet it should be childs play to move the complete Steam installation folder to another location. It sure looks like that too but i get stuck already early in...

If the files are encrypted, you probably don't have any choice but to keep them in the default location. But - and I've never tried this - if nothing in the package has an *.fsarchive filetype, you may be able to move it around. My suggestion would be to give it a shot. If the scenery doesn't show outside the default location, then move it back.
