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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

did you try? The website is still there, just parts of it have been disabled.
I tried running the Spitfire installer a couple of weeks back to see if it still worked, and I got the error message "Not connected to the
internet", which of course I was. Someone at Avsim said they had tried running their installer for one of the other RealAir planes and
got the same message. I haven't tried since.
You could try contacting Sean at RealAir directly and see if he's still answering. His email is at the bottom of the RealAir customer
support page (I won't type it here).
If there's no answer, and the "Not connected" message continues, then that may be it for my RealAir installs. Everything should
continue to work on my current PC. But if I decide to replace my current six year old PC (probably sometime next year), I don't
think I'll be able to just copy the RealAir files over and have everything still work.

Same here trying to install the Spitfire package for FSX, installer tells me it can't connect to the internet. I tried the email as suggested above a couple of weeks ago, and no response.
Luckily I had all my other Realair models installed already, but I really wanted to fly their Mk. XIV!

Something I found on a n other gaming forum, you could try disabling the internet protocol v6 (ipv6) in your internet settings, it would seem that microsoft defaults to v6, but if website was built for v4, then you get the not connected to internet message.

Thanks Vortex,
But I'd already tried that; no joy I'm afraid. I keep hoping I'll get a response some day, but so far, nada.
