    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.

MS2024 Auto-uninstalled MP Items & Repaint Weirdness

FAC257

SOH-CM-2026
Lost MP Items:
Went to pick up where I left off yesterday flying the C-46. But it was no longer in the aircraft selection GUI anymore. Also gone was the Boeing 307 that I wanted to use later today. Going to the Marketplace>My Library>Not Installed GUI, it looks like everything that I've purchased thru the MP is now listed as "Not Installed". As far as I've looked there's no way to re-installed them. I've tried restarting MSFS 4 or 5 times now with no change. Everything was there yesterday.

Repaint Weirdness:
MS2024 organizes repaints for a single aircraft in the aircraft selection GUI into some sort of categories. I'm guessing it's got something to do with the way the added repaints having something similar in an aircraft.cfg data line. For instance, each of the C-46 repaints below has several different repaints in it. This would probably be easy enough to fix if we had access to the .cfg file. If not, it's going to make for a more messy aircraft selection GUI and make it a bit harder to find the repaint your looking for.

With regard to why those aircraft are no longer showing up, it's likely due to the temporary pause on some MSFS 2020 content, as put into place yesterday (though it says "MSFS 2020 non-aircraft content"): https://www.flightsimulator.com/mic...i9QYcfAVt6hqPhgzAA_aem_f-V_1AVYDWfFoIwbM18MAg

I'm looking forward to when the Marketplace gets activated, at which time we'll be able to actually download all of the default and marketplace aircraft to our computers, so we won't have to continue to stream them.

As also announced, there is supposed to be another patch released next week, and a more substantial patch released the week of December 8th.
 
I started reading that update when it came out but quit after reading the first two paragraphs of generic excuse BS. Completely missed the only relevant part about the 2020 temporarily stuff decommissioned.

Thanks for that info.
