    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.

Pulled the trigger...

For @Brian_Gladden and @SgtT ... I've probably posted this video eleventeen times since it came out, and there have been more settings added since then, but this is still an invaluable reference to see what you can tone down visually to save resources. I started MSFS on a gaming laptop with a 1060 mobile card, and with this video, I was able to take notes on what settings made very little difference at higher settings so that I could ramp up others. Grab a beverage, plus a pencil and paper - it's long. But it's well worth the watch. Spoiler alert - save all you can for high quality clouds!

My system handles most stuff butter smooth at medium average settings. The only place it went slideshow was trying to land at the Lower Manhattan Heliports or downtown London. (I do have the Fly-By-Wire AI injector). On my 32 bit P3d I'd get out of memory (I had lots of AI) when I got within 30 miles of Montreal.
