  • 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.

Anyone else having problems starting up MSFS tonight (July 1st)? I was running it earlier today with no problems, now it won't run and Windows 10 pops up with the Gaming Services page in the Windows Store. I'll tell ya, I prefer the old fashioned way of running programs.Wont start.jpg

Mine is from Steam. I did have problems with it pausing/stopping during boot. But I think my situation has to do with add-ons. I use Add-on Linker, so I easily choose what add-ons I want to be active. Pete

Thanks Tom - I found a video that did the trick. I'm happy I have a fast computer and high speed connection, as the install went relatively fast. Windows can be so frustrating and baffling at times. I sure am happy there are so many smart people out there who have figured these weird types of errors out.

Here's the video link:
