    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.

Monitors/Screens: What's good for FS?

I'm starting to put together (physically assemble) my new system and I'm going to need a new monitor for it. I know I want an IPS monitor for the colors and viewing range. My question is, do I need G-Sync or a 144 Hz monitor? I know it helps if you're playing various games with a lot of fast action, but I don't think it is necessary for FSX or P3D. What do you FS system gurus think?

Here's my new system for ref:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Mem: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
HD's: OS on (1) Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
(2) Samsung 850 Pro Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
VC: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition Video Card
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case
PS: Corsair 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
OD: LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit

Yes, G-sync is very nice for P3D. For FSX I didn't notice any impact but in P3Dv3 yes, that's true and it reduces stutter a lot.

If you have to make an investment anyway, did you consider the Oculus Rift VR. It is flightsim heaven; you feel like you are actually inside the aircraft. I have flown professional simulators with a cockpit and a huge screen in front, but I prefer the Rift.<o:p></o:p>
