    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 don't know anything about this, but there may be some of our members and visitors who care & have the money.

Linus Tech Tips released today a short video of the RX 6950 XT video card that has come out. I do not have the money much less the Mobo and stuff to handle this card.

We, the flight sim folks did get a brief nod on performance compared to the other video cards out there, if you can get your hands on one!

Now folks, remember the original MSRP of the RTX 30 series cards that came out in Sept. 2020. I had snapped this shot from the NVidia web site a couple of days before their launch. Look at the prices back then and what they go for now after the crypto kiddies hoarded them all up!

This should (hopefully) mean a drop in price and more availability for the slightly less new cards.
 
I also have a GTX 1080 with 8 gigs RAM, and I'm not about to pay one penny over the MSRP in my post above! I'll also have to have *proof* that the card is brand new from Nvidia.
