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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

In your settings, make sure you don't have a certain pilot selected to be your stand-in. I can't remember what it's called, but it's the option that lets the sim pick the pilot for the plane according to what's specified in the cfg files.
On the other hand, if you mean you want to create and insert your very own pilot, I don't know. But on my MSFS Steam
install, the folders with files for the various MSFS pilots you can select in Misc are located in the Official folder:
Official -> Steam -> asobo-simobjects-characters -> Simobjects -> Humans -> Pilot -> model.Pilot<pilot name>
These pilot files are not protected, at least on my Steam install, and can be changed. I don't know if you could add your
own model.Pilot folder, using the already existing ones as templates, and have it show up in the Misc pilot list for you
to select, and then have it show up in the plane when you load the flight.
Just a thought.
The reason I found this out is that I like to have an "invisible" pilot I can use when I don't want a pilot or co-pilot to show,
so I go in and remove the files from one of the model.Pilot folders. I like to use the model.Pilot_Female_Uniform_Indian
folder, which is the last pilot in the Misc list, Pilot#24. Of course I always do a backup in case I may ever need a female
uniformed Indian pilot or co-pilot.
