    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.

Saved Flights not showing in FSX

I've reinstalled FSX, (sp1&2) after long absence, into my remote ,(MS 8.1) HD and it works just fine with the exception of the Saved Flights aspect. None show in the game. I put all add on flights into the default place in Local Disk(c)/Documents/Flight Simulator X Files, but to no avail. I've Googled the issue but none seem to be the answer. Is there a way to place the saved flights somewhere else? I've tried several alternate locations to see if that might work but no luck.

Why is there a Flights folder and a Missions folder? The add on missions I've installed work fine with no problems at all, just saved flights are not showing. Hope some one can point me to a solution, thanks.

Hi Stoney:

Might be some confusing semantics here. Saved Flights is a categoring of in-game flights that basically save an airport and aircraft scenario that you want to be able to easily access. There are some done for you with the stock installation and you also can create your own. I do this with favorite combinations of airports and planes. For example, I keep one of the fantastic freeware Avro Tutors at the home airport of the Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden, EGTZ.

Flight Planner is another menu tool that allows you to keep a record of point-to-point flights and choose between VFR or IFR rules. These are stored and accummulated continuously, which makes return to those flights just key strokes away. I have not found a way to reverse those flight destinations to make an easy round-trip flight plan. I believe you have to make the return a separate entry.

Others will undoubtedly be able to expand on this. I am a recent convert to FSX-SE after many years on FS9.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the information. I JUST converted over to FSX and some of it's idiosyncrasies confuse, so it's a long learning curve for me. But hey, I'll get there with some help from the great gents here.

Maybe a little more info with pictures! :encouragement:

This is how you get to "Saved Flights" You will notice that I don't do that too much. As of now, my only saved flight is my "Default flight" that I ONLY use to create my cold and dark scenario for all of the flights I do. I have also chosen an airport in my time zone so all clocks are correct for any flight I take (unless I change the time).

Pretty empty!

Pictured below are my saved flight plans that I like to do on occasion. Some are just tests of different airports so the flight starts and ends at the same airport.

Be sure to click on the pictures if they need to be enlarged!:wavey: All flight plans and saved flights are stored in MY Documents/Flight Simulator X files folder.
 
A big thank you MrZippy! That has really helped explain the process to this 72 year old simmer. Steve
