    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.

***NOTAM on the SSW TF-104G*****

All,

I fired up MSFS this weekend to take a spin in the excellent TF-104G by SSW. I immediately noticed that upon loading the sim, the TF-104 appeared to have blue smoke coming from beneath the left wing. Takeoff and performance was normal, but in the air, particularly if I pulled Gs, the telltale "campfire" smoke would appear under the left wing and curl over over the top of the fuselage.

Cutting to the chase:
In response, I removed every aircraft add-on that I had bought and/or loaded since the Christmas/early January - the last time I flew the Starfighter and it behaved normally, then tried it as I added each back in. Turns out the Redwing L-1049 is the package that causes this issue with the TF-104G. So if you are seeing this smoke, that's why. Simply drag the L-1049 folder out of your "Community" folder before you launch MSFS anytime you want to fly the Zipper, and you should be good to go.

I am also having a similar issue sometimes where, no matter what aircraft I'm flying at the time, the idle sound of the DC-6 will suddenly begin to play. It's not affected by throttle movement, just the idle wav file. It eventually stops, I think when I get far enough from the area I took off. It happens randomly. Maybe certain sound files have the same title? One of them mysteries of MSFS I guess.
