    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.

Security Alert in FSX

Ever since I 'upped' from W10 to W11 I have been getting a Security Alert when FSX (Steam edition) boots up. See images. No matter how many times I reboot it appears. If I allow the install of the Certificate it sometimes runs, sometimes crashes. If I deny it, same thing although that seems to be the better option as the runtime of the sim is longer generally.

Today I uninstalled FSX and reinstalled after a reboot. Same thing.

Anyone have any ideas? Anyone suffer similar? Any solutions?

I have Windows 10 and am getting the same security warning about certificate at start up of FSX/SE. It seems to work normally after allowing "proceed", but it is certainly a pain in the a**...

Thanks for that I will try and post a similar with Steam - it may be their problem.

edit - just had a looksee at Steam forum. It seems to be an issue their end. One message was from MS (allegedly) that claims Steam need to restart their server. Maybe the issue will get resolved after the holiday.

Now I will have to reinstall a bunch of stuff - sheesh! :dizzy:
 
So it seems we have to await Steam doing something and dare I say it, being a decrepit old program, they ain't going to be too quick at fixing it, bear in mind that according to the certificate it expired 18th December.
 
This has been going on for over a week now, Steam needs to update the certificate. Until then, we will be seeing the message pop up during loading.
 
Yes, this does not bode well for the continued support of FSX by Steam imo. They will view the sim as archaic which makes them very little income no doubt. For us, a minor inconvenience, but for the future.........?
