    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.

New NVIDIA Game Ready Driver available today.

Works great for my RTX 3080 Titan. My search of new drivers for the RTX 3080 Ti shows the 522.25 set. There may be a slight increase in FPS with most all set to ultra. VR settings with the Oculus Quest 2 must be set lower to prevent studdering. Still very nice with mid to high settings.
 
New 4000 card drivers I expect

Are there any real improvements, or is it just a new set of game optimizations?

Tom, I definitely notice no improvements in my settings and really no improvements in the sim over the old Game Ready Driver using my RTX 3060Ti card. I never think it hurts, but I expect more than anything else, these drivers were meant to coincide with the opening selling of the 4000 series cards with DLSS3. I never download my update Drivers from NVIDIA Experience either, but from the NVIDIA website. I guess you can say that there's nothing I see wrong with the new drivers, I've had not CTDs, all of my graphic programs perform as should. I expect for many of the gripers here and on other website is that they are only intent in updating MSFS and nothing else. Man, I update MS drivers, I update the MS Library, I keep every single program I have updated. Most important are the Windows 10 and 11 Update, so many people overlook those and let me tell you from experience, without the proper Windows Updates, many of your programs are poop.

Thanks Cazzie! I updated to the Studio drivers that coincided with the release of SU10 and they're working fine. So unless they come out with something that directly addresses some issue, I'll stick with the IIABDFI method.
 
These drivers with the SU11 beta, though... Dang, I'm getting some smooth frame rates in DX12 on my 3080!

(Warning, though: SU11 beta is having CTD issues with some add-ons, might wait a release or two before opting in if you don't have a 4090 in the mail...)
