  • 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.

I've been having trouble with load times and stutters since the last Windows 11 update, and everything I've tried hasn't helped (I really wish there was a "repair installation" option to search for corrupt files). So, I'm planning an MSFS reinstall. However, I'd like to do it in a way that keeps my key bindings and control setups. I'd also like it if I didn't have to do a full re-download unless I have to.
Any tips or guides on how best to do this?
 
I've heard that if you back up the Official folder, you can do the initial installation of the core files, then once that's done, you can restore it before launching the app and starting the "big download - but I'm not sure how well that works. Def. keep a copy of your Community folder though.

Normally your key bindings and control setups are kept in the cloud.
