    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.

Newest Nvidia Driver

Beware!!! The newest Nvidia drivers (531.61) are causing all kinds of trouble. Recommend staying with older drivers for now. There are lots of users reporting the dreaded "Your graphics device has encountered a problem and the application will exit. This maybe due to graphics card overclocking, overheating or due to a driver fault". I rolled back my drivers and it solved the issue.
 
Seems like it's related to specific setups, as I haven't had any issues with the new driver here. (Though like some kind of crazy person I bought a 4090 last year...)
 
Hitherto I have religiously updated my system with new Nvidia drivers as and when they come out and rarely have any issues - equally I'm not sure I ever see any real benefits?

I had that warning with the previous version! It's gone with this update?

I am a firm believer in IIABDFI, but I discovered my driver really was "broke" when I realized that the drivers installed with my new rig were far from the latest, and didn't support DLSS. 528.49 was current at that moment, so that's what I have now. I also did some reading up on upgrading the "nvngx_dlss.dll" and installed a newer version of that after backing up the original. I'm now running 65-70 FPS in even the worst weather. So right now, I am definitely in the "it ain't broke" category, so I'll leave well enough alone.
 
I rolled back to the 528.49 driver and have not had any issues. In fact, I was able to bump up my settings to Ultra with no issues (so far). For the last three weeks or so I have been going through all of the Bush Trips just to get back into the hang of hand flying. I had not realized that when I bought a new computer last year that ALL of my progress on the bush trips had been lost. Not sure why my progress wasn't saved to the "cloud", but nevertheless, it's been a blast. Not thrilled that I have to repeat the 7 or 8 trips I had already completed, but at least I know where I'm going this time around.
