  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

NVIDIA Driver Update Heads Up

My two cents - I have hardly ever updated my Nvidia drivers and often have used the ones they shipped with until I get a new fx card. Don't see how they can "wear out" over time like a lawn mower engine. If they aren't broke . .

I am of a similar opinion. I use the drivers that come with my card or perhaps drivers a few versions newer, if there was a known issue with the original drivers or the older drivers were found to be restricting the performance of the card. Nvidia's claims of faster performance with each new driver are usually with new games, not with an old flight simulator such as FSX.
 
Once again there was opened a new highway with almost no speed limit. Unfortunately my old car called Fsx can't speed up more than 70 mph.

:wink:
 
Never had an NVIDIA driver problem so far.
Currently my ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC reduce rocks into dust.

So true. FSX is just old technology. Whatever rock disintegrating GFX card you have, performance will always be horrible (32 bit).

Just updated my GTX1070 with the new 411.70 drivers for troubleshooting in P3D. No noticeable change.
