  • 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.

SU4 Available Now

It already has on the official forums! Apparently some of the (long overdue) default aircraft updates will be made when SU4 is seen to be stable, which means that patches may be needed first...
 
Stutters and pauses very much improved. Plane's panel instruments immediately available, complete and active. Looking forward to seeing other improvements.
 
Well, I'll moan a bit. The sim ran very smoothly (no stutters or freezes) up until this evening. After SU4 installation (I did rename my community folder, and apparently the sim disabled all of my marketplace content, too), I have weird sound drops in the menus and a series of three severe freezes every few minutes during flights. So, freeze-freeze-freeze, then a few minutes of very smooth flight, then freeze-freeze-freeze. Yeesh.

I was really enjoying the sim, and I was really looking forward to this update, but it is, so far, a serious step backward for me. This evening, for the first time since switching to 2024, I'm thinking about launching 2020.
 
Nice to see Canada gets a 4 GB update of new photogrammetry cities and updated airports. Don't forget to look through "My Library" in the menu to see if there are updates available for you.
 
Turns out my freezes were solved by deleting my shaders cache and updating to the newest Nvidia drivers. Smooth as silk again. Now, the long process of re-enabling all of my addons one at a time and testing for issues.

I get random CTD’s in the menus or when ending a flight. Was not an issue before SU4.

I have found that some aircraft/repaints that worked fine in SU3 are crashing the sim or causing severe stutters in SU4. Have you got anything in your community folder? If so, clear it and see if the crashes go away. Also, for some reason for me the Aviator MSFS 2020 aircraft are crashing the sim. I had to disable them and I'm in the process of re-enabling them one at a time to try to find the culprit. Same process with my (unfortunately extensive) community folder.
