    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • 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.

    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.

620 Mb and next ... 40 Gb, :monkies: ups :biggrin-new: !
Like the whole new sim (and it's a standard files only, inside perhaps full premium content again....)
 
40 gigs is a huge download task even across modern high speed networks. I never understood why these types of updates cannot downloaded in smaller chunks.

I do hope water wake is a real element of update.

Water wake and other effects like dirt and snow are indeed part of the update. One of the forum moderators said that they are only releasing "Release Notes" and not a fully detailed changelog because it would have taken them too much time to compile all the changes... which I think is an extremely poor excuse, the entire point of a changelog is that it is updated as changes are made, not a document drawn up once everything is finished.

But what can you do.. :wiggle:

Also, who thought it was a good idea to release the Xbox version worldwide (which requires a substantial day 1 patch) AND Sim Update V all at the exact same time. The servers are getting slaughtered right now, even the official forums can't keep up.

21% after about an hour. 40GB should be about 5-10 Minutes pure download time on my end. I don't think people were ever not interested in a performance upgrade in the FS business.
 
Crap. I downloaded about 3/4 of the update, and the server crashed. I noticed initially that the update being downloaded was just over 38gb, but now, since I am attempting again, the amount says only 15.30gb. Does that mean I am only downloading what was left of the original 38gb?? :dizzy: NC
 
Apparently MSFS now CTD's if you have live traffic enabled, and they somehow broke how altimeter settings work.

Well, at least Asobo is consistent with breaking something new every time there's an update, so hopefully those get fixed at some point.
 
I guess the servers are down ATM.
I managed to get the Windows store part OK but when I start the Sim I get a warning that the online services can't be reached and after loading for a few seconds I get thrown back to the desktop.

Oh well if I want to fly this evening it will have to be in P3D.

Probably it has to redownload part of your update Chief. You were probably in the midst of a bigger chunk that didn't download completely and it is restarting that.

I finally got the update to start but I'm a little worried, it says its downloading 22.92 GiB for the standard content but I own the super duper all the bells and whistles version.
