    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.

Photogrammetry disappeared

Between 4:30 and 4:40 EDT Louisville, KY photogrammetry disappeared and now is at a lesser level of detail. Can that happen without an update or warning?
Hope it comes back soon as it is my home and is used almost exclusively.
 
Make sure that Photogrammetry is still turned on within your Data settings. If I recall correctly, if your internet bandwidth drops too low, there will be a message that comes across that asks if you would like to turn off photogrammetry (or it might do it automatically, I can't remember now). So likely it is simply turned off right now in your settings.

I just flew over Louisville, KY in the sim, and the photogrammetry is displayed.
 
I made no purposeful graphics changes between the times specified, only a change in planes from the Cessna 152 to the Pipstrel.
My photogrammetry setting is greyed out but shows the status as ON and I cannot change it. Resolution is 1920 x 1080 and Global Render is High End.
Photogrammetry is still gone at 7:40 EDT. Thanks for your suggestion.
 
The only way I seem to be able to make the photogrammetry option greyed-out is if I turn off "Bing Data World Graphics", or if the "Online Functionality" is turned off (but which will also grey-out all of the other options).

 
My Bing data was turned off. Turning it on brought back my Photogrammetry. It is still a mystery how it got turned off. Thanks for your help.
 
Very glad to hear you've got it resolved, Jim! Also, as you saw in the screenshots thread, I couldn't help but take some screenshots of my first time flying over Louisville in the sim, thanks to this thread. :)
