    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.

MSMP "Compatible" Doesn't Necessarily Mean 100% Compatible

FAC257

SOH-CM-2026
With the new update and the MSMP steps forward I decided to start from scratch, with a fresh clean re-install of MSFS2024. With the MSMP GUI still being so convoluted I went with re-installing only those items that I've purchased that were marked as compatible.

Turns out that doesn't mean they are actually 100% working correctly. So far, I've found that the Pasped Skylark marked as compatible, still doesn't have gauges.
Also, Vertical Sims Plant City Airport (KPCM), also marked as compatible, still has an issue with all of the airport buildings being sunk in the ground so that only their roofs show. Another one, I hope someone has an answer for is the T-33 still only has the goofy default pilot and not the pair of mil-pilots it had originally.

Makes me wonder what they are using as the criteria for attaching the "Compatible" label.

There are some weirdnesses in 2024 in trying any port over. As a fun exercise I did new flight dynamics for the Blackbird FG1D Corsair. It flys well but if one mouses the canopy open all the instruments freeze for the rest of the flight. Note that there is no binding command in 2024 for open close canopy.

On the positive side, I got a notifcation thru the MSMP that FlyMex's Cozumel MMCZ had been updated from its previous "Compatible" designation but with missing terminal buildings. It's still listed as Compatible, but now the missing building are there. LOL
