    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • 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.

Multiplayer video update

Quite irrelevant in the present situation Yo Yo.

1) CORVID-19
2) Huge numbers of people without work
3) Huge numbers of people without income
4) Huge numbers of people needing to spend what little money they have on essentials
5) If one is unemployed with no money coming in why waste what one has on a 'Game'.
6) MS might need to lay off staff
7) MS are not going to get this to a finished state before 2021
8) Far more important problems to deal with than worry about another Flight Sim.
9) All of the above.

:indecisiveness:
 
So some have to stop working and we cant admire these works? :dizzy:

Sorry Wombat but I cant agree. The life is still going on and the bad time will end soon or sooner and we will be stronger I suppose. This period means - Stay at home, not Stay living :banghead:.
 
Thank you for posting this latest video, YoYo! I absolutely share your enthusiasm for this new sim and it only increases with every new feature update they show. Yet again, I am completely blown away by the realism of the visuals that they show in this latest video and the amount of detail in every aspect.

YoYo, it's all a matter of perspective.
If people aren't working they don't get paid.
No money other than welfare, no spending on luxuries.
And so far as FS2020 looks impressive, it isn't something that is 'necessary'.
If it is released by the end of 2020 I'll be pleased, but I can do without it.
It's all is a matter of perspective, tens of thousands of deaths outrank any impending game release.

Hello Wombatt66,
Certainly all your comments have validity to some degree or another but why do you mention that here..?
That people will come to the forum to get a little relief and enjoyment before heading back into an uncertain future is obvious.
Do you really think other members of the forum don't appreciate the reality we are living in..?
Why do you feel its your position to moralize on what we should or not be doing. Certainly as an "administrator" isn't your job to
support the forum and its members? There are more appropriate venues for expressing your worries and concerns.

The one thing I hate is having to write this.
I had hoped you would have apologized to YoYo for coming down on him like a ton of bricks.(undeserved) :banghead:
 
Sure, there's a lot of negative stuff happening right now and the future is uncertain, but there's nothing wrong with having a little hope.

Because of my job, I am REQUIRED to show up to work every day, no matter what. We are on minimal staffing though, so most of the people who support my unit are not ALLOWED to come in to work at all.
So, work sucks..... and has severely messed up my sleep schedule. The news sucks. One of my good friends died suddenly last week. We won't be able to have a wake or a funeral for the foreseeable future.
Yes, it all makes me depressed, stressed and unhappy....but I WONT allow myself to put that onto other people....and I wish others would follow suit.

Bottom line, if looking forward to FS2020 coming out helps to lift your spirits, good for you. If it doesn't.....why even mention it?

Very inspiring, Yoyo, both FS2020#7 video and Prince Ea. Thanks!

Ok, so we have to sit at home because it can be dangerous outside atm. However *we* have been chosen to be able to divert to a different, clean, VIRTUAL world to fly around in and explore. At this moment in time you'd wish everybody would have such an 'outhouse' to go to and forget about the current sad state of affairs for a while and relax. Certainly important and certainly we should be happy and thankful that we have something to look out for like FS2020 to take our minds off of the grim situation we are in. I mean, why not, éh ?

If home is our safe haven atm then so be it. This is how David Byrne and Talking Heads were already 'Talking in Tongues' about home in 1983, however naively (same year Sublogic Flight Simulator II came about ! ;-). https://youtu.be/4xL7Ilh1DFI?t=2890

I can really recommend watching the whole show. A movie directed by Jonathan Demme. I mean, what's stopping you ? Make sense ?.. ;-)

Cheers,
Jan
