    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.

A question for the people who have it.

How current is the weather data that is received by the program, I only ask as as MSFS normally has a 3 hr delay in live weather. Living a tropical area that's in a wet and monsoonal region this time of yr,

Ive noticed MSFS is a few hours out to live weather.

Does REX import the live weather from MSFS or use another source for data?

Weather is real-time METAR-based, updated 6x an hour based on NOAA data.

Pretty accurate around here, but I live around Seattle so if it shows gray overcast this time of year it's going to be accurate 85% of the time without even checking the Internet. :)
 
thanks, after pondering about it for a while, i went ahead with it. A drastic improvement over the delayed stock MSFS live weather depictions.
