    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.

My Preview of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

I've previously seen reference to importing FSX models into MSFS, though not recently...I'm still hoping that will be available to enable the flying of older aircraft and military aircraft and (most importantly to me) gliders.
That would help Navy Chief too...

From my limited perspective based solely in hearsay, only the XML coded aircraft will work. Nothing that requires a sim-connect external code will work. So...really good news for guys like Warbirdsim, if you update the models to use PBR, they should work in MSFS! And I'll be the first in line to re-purchase those. They are worth every penny.
 
I'm gonna go ahead and get the full 120 dollar version.. I'm not into GA all that much and for what I am, X-Plane covers it prettty well. Plus, from what ive seen, there isnt enough difference between the flight dynamics of MSFS2020 and X-Plane to have two sims with nothing but General aviation. I'll use MSFS2020 for tube liners and VA stuff. That seems to be where its really gonna shine for me.. Plus, I really want to put it under a microscope. Whats the actual bandwidth usage its going to have? How will it tax my system??

I'm just really NOT looking forward to what PMDG will do to its pricing for compatible aircraft..
 
Been watching this develop from a distance so not really that up to speed, tbh wasn't really expecting a release so soon given current events.

Has there been any word regarding carrier/ship ops yet? Tried to dig around a bit but any search for "flight simulator" and "carrier" just gives false flags for FSX, X-plane, DCS etc.
