    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.

Playing FSX-SE without internet connection?

Hi all,

If I should buy FSX-SE, would I be able to play the sim without internetconnection? I've read that you get a code that is checked every time you start the game to be sure that you're the real owner, but I don't want to be on the internet so often.

Regards, hertzie.
 
Steam does have an offline mode. I always run FSX offline, and haven't had a problem yet. The Steam client apparently does all its updating and checks whenever you get back online.
 
For me it makes sense to play in offline mode (unless multi player is your requirement) FSXSE is never going to be updated any further so being Steam connected is redundant. Furthermore, I have had the devil of a job on occasions when FSXSE has crashed and getting it to restart as Steam reports it to be still running and two instances of the program are verboten.
