  • 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.

Orbx HD Trees

SOH-CM-2025
Recent release - anyone tried it?
Thoughts?
Can't have Bijan or AccuSeasons installed at the same time, otherwise you get blocky trees etc.

Damn, that rules it out for me. I've got AccuSeason installed. I'd love to see pics of those HD Trees though!

It looks great, but I already have Accuseason Extreme and I've been very happy with that. Also, with MSFS 2024 coming in less than four months...
That's how I tend to see it - Perhaps Orbx thought folk who, for whatever reason, won't transition to MSFS 2024, might be customers.

Interested to hear what folks think about the likely take-up on 2024. Given that 4 years will have passed since we all shelled out for the current sim most peoples SIM budgets should have recovered? Additionally, I would have thought that most of the 'serial simmers' on here will upgrade immediately or at least after people check the first release is clear of serious bugs. I'd be guessing that there would be a c 80% uptake from existing players?

Interesting that during the Blackbird update the other day Crazy Colin expressed his doubts on those Developers that have already committed to transition their 2020 products to 2024 free of charge. He said at this point they/we do not know what (if any) changes will be needed to make to their 2020 products fully functional in the new sim. He stated that they will charge a fee if material re-work is required. So the contention from Microsoft that most products will transition ok needs to be considered with some care. Again how this will impact take-up of the new sim is at question.
