    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.

Must-have MSFS 2024 utilities

Bad2000 dropped a new update of MSFS Addons Linker already, the day before the sim releases.

Primary change is that there's a separate executable for FS2024. So you can maintain separate setups for each sim.

This will be hugely helpful as we determine which of our old add-ons work! And if you have a folder setup like mine, you can do things like point it to your MSFS2020 "Oregon" or "Austria" or whatever folder to test compatibility without having to duplicate files.

My plan is to create a separate folder with FS2024-specific add-ons, as well as use Addons Linker to active FS2020 add-ons as needed.

(Though as I advised separately, get the sim up and running and fully tested before you start lobbing add-ons into it!)
 
Navigraph and the TDS GPS both were updated and appear to work, though addons that use the TDS unit may not work yet (haven't tried it.)
 
Great, valuable advice here. I've never had FS2020, but too, I plan to proceed with caution when installing FS2024 onto my blank slate.
Currently I'm tinkering with Galaxy Xbox and Forza on the big screen while waiting for things to settle down with FS.
 
I need to figure out what has happened with 2020 3rd party add ons - have read some during the 2024 installation, may have been transferred from the 2020 Community folder into the 2024 'Main' folder.
One writer was suggesting this could be slowing our PC's, cluttering them up, [if it happened]

Axis & Ohs has just released a 2024 upgrade through Just Flight. I have downloaded it but haven't installed it yet. It will be nice to have a known UI when assigning controller settings. I still haven't totally figured out the UI 2024 uses for controller settings.
