    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.

MSFS Aircraft Pinner

SOH-CM-2026
I found this handy little utility yesterday that allows you to "pin" your favorite aircraft which moves them to the top of the aircraft selection menu. Pretty handy as it keeps all your "most flown" airplanes together rather than scrolling through to find them. Only one problem. . .if you have airplanes that are encrypted pinner can't see them, lol

I have about 10 total that are either freeware or payware and apparently the ones I've purchased from the Marketplace are encrypted and can't be viewed by the utility. According to the answer I got this morning, the workaround is to add a custom livery to those airplanes at which point pinner will see them and they can then be pinned and moved up with the rest.
 
Very handy. I keep scrolling past the aircraft I'm looking for, and sometimes have three goes at it.
 
Personally, I find the default search function in the hangar to work well. If I want the Icon and I'm scrolled all the way to the bottom, just type the name and I'm there. If I want a C172 variant, just type the number and pick from the results.
