    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.

SSW F-104 ASA Red Panda program

Does anyone know what specifically the "Red Panda" program is in relation to the operation of the SSW F-104ASA program? I bought and installed the program in FSX two days ago and this evening while starting FSX normally received a notification saying Red Panda did not start normally, that it had to be started manually instead. I am assuming Red Panda is required for the proper operation of the F-104ASA. Or is it possible to operate the aircraft without it?
 
Red Panda is an implementation of WebSimConnect and, as far as I know, used to render radar returns in ground-related modes or moving map displays.
 
OK, thanks. I discovered its batch file and .exe file in the SSW folder in turn located in the FSX folder. When starting FSX today I got a dialog box saying essentially "sorry, Red Panda didn't start" and that was that. Wasn't using the SSW -104S today but maybe tomorrow we'll see about manually activating that program since the sim won't do it on its own.
