    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.

I want to give a shout out for this amazing little app. It allows you to move most of your add on files from the Community folder, leaving links to the actual locations of your addons. You can then turn on and off what you want to use or aren’t using from the MSFS Addons Linker app. After checking and/or unchecking scenery, aircraft, utilities, etc. You can start MSFS straight from the linker program.

I have hundreds of scenery files and aircraft addon linked to MSFS. I even was able to link the ASBRO aircraft and sceneries. I have turned off the airplanes I never fly, so they won’t show on the choose your aircraft list. I find that it is easier to select what you want when you don’t have to go through a hundred or more thumbnails.

It has a lot of extra features, like a map of all your addon sceneries and a method of grouping sceneries for a quick on/off of the group.

I did find a few programs that didn’t play well with MSFS Addon Linker. However, most of them work with no issues. Several YouTube videos help and there is a manual.

The best thing about this is that it allows you to use lots of folders to store addons. I have mine split by country and then further by airports & non airport scenery, global mods etc. Makes it really easy to track what you've got.
 
Yes, it's a remarkable piece of software, I Have a number of pre-sets for each Country that I fly in, it saves a lot of flight load time.
 
I echo Navy Chief's comment. I am working through the complete change over to Addon Linker right now. Considerable work but well worth it in the end.
