    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.

Runway Choice

When starting the Sim, it won't recognize my choice to takeoff from a different runway , it's the same runway departure every time regardless what I choose ??

Any ideas ?

Other than try a different airport entirely, no.
My gripe is that the dratted weather will not stick if selected during that startup selection.
 
Ensure you select the departure point AFTER choosing your aircraft.
The aircraft choice screen somehow resets the departure choice to the airport itself with the default runway. So if you choose a runway, then choose the aircraft, then launch the flight, then you'll probably won't be on your chosen departure point.
 
Under Assistance Options, User Experience, make sure "ATC Enforce Flight Plan" is On.

According to the description, "If disabled, ATC will decide the active runway and approach depending on current conditions, including weather and performance".

Hope that helps.
 
Back in business, thank you RobM
Quick note - When I checked the "ATC Enforce" it was on , it was only after I disabled and enabled the drop down menu several times did it start to function correctly !!

Go figure

Cheers
