    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.

I installed it - then installed the updated items in the Content Manager - There were a couple of sceneries in there and the UK regional that took a long time, restarted their downloads two or three times on their own - but eventually all went in. Something like 42 individual updates in there
 
The update was pretty much painless, everything was downloaded & installed in just over an hour, early evening too in the UK.

About to test it all out in a wee bit.

Lots of updates in the content manager, depending on how many Asobo/MS addons you have installed (there were 12 in my case).

Having updated everything and taken a couple flights, the two things I'm most immediately excited about with this Sim Update is that the engine on the stock Asobo/MS P-51D (one of my top favorite aircraft in MSFS) no longer cuts-out when adding power (yay!), and addon airport sceneries with ground tiles no longer cause conflicts with each other, such as the case with all of the sceneries by Burning Blue Designs, so no matter how many sceneries/airports you have installed the custom ground tiles now display again for all of them (yay!). Such little things, but I had been anxiously waiting for those two fixes and extremely glad to have them now. Also, it seems performance in the game is better.
 
Downloaded everything (34 Gb's in total) in less than an hour. Testing after work.

Update went smooth and fast, but don't forget to get all the Updates in the Content Manager, all World Updates had Updates. It took longer for me to download and install the Content Manager Updates than SU 15. Did three tests flights to no flaw. Can't say it helps fps because my unit is made for MSFS and is set for 60 fps, which I get as smooth as silk. CPU only working 2%m GPU 50-60% depending on weather and scenery. Weather will still eat into your fps than anything else. Old Ironsides never looked better, was always a kink on her rear port side.

I downloaded it last night and it seemed to go well. I haven't tried to fly anything yet, however. Also, thanks for the heads-up guys on the Download Content in the Marketplace. I forgot about that.
 
I downloaded without an issue. Went to Content Manager and got an update to the A320 (and some area updates). Took a very short flight in the IRIS Simulations T-6 and noticed the indexer light illuminated 24/7, so unusable. (Needed to use the "ladder" in the HUD for AoA landing information.) I will attempt to let IRIS / D. Brice know issue.
 
After full delete, download went ok. Now reinstalling from renamed / saved community folder in groups and testing. I have something in my system that seems to have come with older software originally needed for Saitek FIPs. Can't find where the drivers loaded to, but most of my problems seem to stem from there.
Hope to be able to try a test flight this afternoon.
 
I actually decided to go ahead and install it yesterday after work. The entire process, sim and Content Manager took all of 27 minutes. I think part of that is due to my new wireless access point, but in updates past, the server speed just wasn't there either.
 
Download was smooth and quite fast (I averaged around 60-80). I updated my DLSS and Nvidia drivers and cleared my caches. I did two short test flights from my reinstalled community folder: one in the Piper Tomahawk and one in Got Friends' enhanced Beaver. Initial impressions are VERY positive. No windowed launch, very quick load times, and smooth as silk performance. Very nice visuals with no noticeable stutters and the ground physics are obviously improved. Nice.
 
Downloading a total of 16.81 GB right now and into my 3rd hour. 23% done at this point. ...

There might be a 🌑 before I get done downloading.
