    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

ORBX have posted a new libraries download with a fix for those with lc issues and morphing textures. Check release announcements on their site.
 
Thanks Roger! Anybody tried the migration process again? I confess that i´m afraid to do that

I started FTX Central and let it update itself. Then I closed it and downloaded and installed the new libraries (from FTX site). Once that install was done, I started FTX Central again, and it started the migration process automatically before opening fully. Took a few minutes. Once done, I closed FTX Central again and ran the troubleshooter to check on the migration. It showed all files migrated successfully. Haven't had a chance to fly yet, but that is at least a good sign.

I had no problem with the original migration, however. But, since then, I've installed the new v3.3.5 version of P3D from scratch and most of the rest of my Orbx products, including AU and NZSI, which I knew caused some problems. So, I was a bit worried. It seems that all went well, however. I'll test it out in sim tomorrow.
 
There is a Migration Tool you can run after doing the migration to see if everything migrated as they were suppose to to .

In my setup it's located in the Migration folder : F:\Prepar3D v3\ORBX\Troubleshooter\MigrationTroubleshooter.exe . I ran it without any problems and all my ORBX were shown in green text . Anything in red is either not loaded in your setup or there was a problem migrating it over .
