Notice the Aerosoft AN-2 was just released for P3D only. So why is the announcement pinned in the FSX General Discussion forum??
My mistake! I've moved it to the P3D forum and merged it with Alehead's thread.

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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Might as well rename this Forum FSX / P3D

The P3D forum was created because users wanted it. There were too many posts regarding P3D only in the FSX forum, so I think it was a right decision to split ot off.
Many posts are purpose driven, and in the moment there's still a relatively large intersecting set of common features (and addon products) between FSX and P3D that result in mentioning P3D here in the FSX forum. I think there's nothing really wrong about that.
Another reason for the P3D forum to be quieter is that there are not as many people using it as there are using FSX, and many P3D users do use it in the same way they did with FSX. If there would be more people that would use special features of P3D (Sim-Director, virtual reality functions, etc) I think we would have more specific posts there.
But that will come, sooner or later.
My sentiment is that we are just in the right setup, for now and anything that will come in future.
Cheers,
Mark

Yes, but with this "correctness" comes the fact that my Annuschka anouncement, which heralded the start of something truly BRILLIANT is now buried in a forum visited by barely a couple dozen people.
All this political correctness tends to create problems rather than the supposedly intended "solutions". Still- as with everything- IT IS WHAT IT IS... yet, why these issues are given importance is beyond a simpleton like me...

My primary section of the forum is this one, the FSX General Discussion. After I've read all the latest posts of interest, I then move back to the full Simulators area to see if there are any new downloads and, if necessary, any posts of interest in the FS 2004 and P3D areas. Not always, but sometimes.
If I start reading posts (and there can be a lot) in the FSX General Discussion, I assume its about FSX and not one of the other flight sims. That's all. Nothing negative.

You guys know I rarely chime into these discussions, however...
I'm an FSX ONLY guy. I have absolutely no issue with P3D or its followers. And, the posts re P3Dx.x in the FSX forum doesn't bother me near as much as the poster not stating in his thread that it is for P3Dx.x. My aggravation lies in the fact that after a half dozen or more comments down the page someone lets slip the fact that this is a P3Dx.x only issue, product, comment, etc.!
If you're going to conduct P3Dx.x business in the FSX forum, which in and of itself is NBD, at least have the courtesy to state that your thread is in regard to P3D.
Off my soap box and back to the FSX paint shed.

Imma say this now too,until the one about the AN2,ive seen mostly only FSX/P3D threads in here,,if it pertains to both sims theres no problem to me,,but i agree FSX and P3D should be separated..if you want to post basically the same words in both forums,copy and paste the text from one to the other and then make the minor changes to the wording if necessary. the only reason i read both is that guys like Milton post here and then let us know in the thread that it will work in both sims.so i check fsx,but i may just move to P3D only soon if the whining continues..

So many projects have targeted to both FSX and P3D I like the idea of a combined thread, maybe separate sub-threads for tech support.
I have seen on another site where for screen shots they have one thread for all but you have to put a tag in the title indicating the sim your using, could that be a solution for our site?

I daresay that in the future, the P3D forum will eclipse the FsXA/ FsXSe forum in numbers of posts as did the FsX eclipse the Fs9 forum over time. However there will always some crossover as simularities persist between platforms. However it would be good for the P3D forum (especially P3D v.4) if users of those platforms posted there more often.

I agree with the majority here:
There should be a separate, dedicated, place for P3Dv4, and that cross platforms, meaning FSX and P3Dv1.2.3, should just have a reference in the subject line.
And over time P3D activity will overtake FSX, like FSX did with FS9. It is just the way things go.
This does not take away the joy our members experience in any simulator platform. On the end we all have one thing in common. We all enjoy flight simulators, and helping a fellow member/visitor out.
I love the SOH site, it's members willingness to help anyone, members that invest their valuable time offering their work as freeware to the community, and my limited ability to help others , or just to look at all these amazing screenshots.
I visit the FSX and P3D forum daily.
Kudo's to everyone involved for making this site such a great place to "hang around" and for dealing with all the evolution our hobby goes through

Reading Manfred’s post reminded me that we are all creatures of habit... it’s just that I need to learn a new habit and check both forums each day. As the progression continues there will be less and less reason for me to visit the FSX one.
Most importantly, I wish each sims aficionados the best as they enjoy their own cuppa!
