  • 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.

    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 will not boot all of a sudden.

I use Addon Linker, and have never had this happen. I choose the profile I want, and then the green arrow, and then Steam starts, closely followed by MSFS.

Only now nothing happens. I clicked the green arrow in Addon Linker. Steam starts, and then nada.

So I shut down Steam, restarted it and tried booting MSFS from my Steam Library. I hit the "Play" button, and within about 5 seconds or so, the "Play" button is green again. No go.

I am at a loss here. NC

UPDATE: I reverted back to a video driver from a couple days ago, and now it boots. I have not had this problem. Strange.

There is an Repair function ....
 
The first thing I do when I have MSFS issues is to rename the Community folder. MSFS will create a new empty one. If it works with a default aircraft, I then go through the process of determining which community item caused the no go. If it doesn't work, I use the repair function under Apps.

I my experience one of these two will fix it 99% of the time.
 
Because MSFS is on a server system, I suspect that is oftentimes the culprit. I haven't done anything different, yet all worked perfectly this morning. Puzzling. NC

You can also start up the sim, then "crash" it with the Task Manager. When you restart it, use the Safe Mode option, and not only will it ignore the Community folder, but it will disable Marketplace addons as well.
