    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.

SU1 live

I'm wondering if I should delete the old buggy original version and reinstall a fresh updated version, since I'm getting horrible stutters on the ground since the update. I've pulled back my settings even further, but taxiing is intolerable. Doesn't matter the airport, server, or the aircraft selection, it's awful. Should I be cleaning out any caches and such? How would I do that to see if maybe that improves my performance? Any other suggestions I might try?
 
Ah SU1: Fixes many things and un fixes others. The jet project I am working on exhibits somewhat less lateral stability in SU1. I have also been test flying some PMDG birds in 2024 (unauthorized). The 737 NG worked more or less before but now doesn't let me set anything in the cockpit. The 777 works very well but the SU1 has changed the flight dynamics and it does not hand fly well on approach, lacking a positive roll stability. Also at 500' when I disconnected the autopilot it pitched for the dirt rather than being mostly in trim. A close call that one.

SU1 has changed the flight dynamics a bit, yet to discover exactly what, how much and why.
 
I have been flying the PMDG 777 300ER in 2024 with some success since SU1. There are some glitches, but not too many. The fun ones come right at the end of the flight, aircraft is not in pitch trim on autopilot disconnect on approach and it lacks positive roll stability. I think from experience in my own jet project that this may be a result of some sim changes. Currently on a KPAE-RCTP flight passing the Strait of Tushima.
