    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.

Thank you !!!!

After announcing the closing of FSAddon Publishing we have been selling quite a few old FSX titles these past few days. Enough for Simon to pay his debts. And for me to close down without remorse.

THANK YOU KINDLY.

Simon and I may find a way to keep some of the titles available in future, but not via an official webshop. And I am working on saving the free downloads and updates in a safe place, so they won't be lost like with our 2010 hacked server.

Wishing you all a HEALTHY and HAPPY 2021, although we may have to skip that year too.

Warmest regards,
Francois Dumas and Simon Smeiman
(and Bruno, the company doggy)
 
I'm glad to hear that folks still supported you even though you are shutting down. All the best to you, Simon and Bruno. Here's hoping that 2021 treats us all better than this rag tag one we're leaving behind. Happy New Year Francois!
 
Francois, you are the best. Thanks for all you have given us. You are very much appreciated.

Happy New Year to you and yours.
 
Good to hear Simon has caught up.

The Hudson/Lodestar bundle is still in heavy rotation. Was flying a couple just yesterday.

Best of luck Francois.
 
Sad news

I read this the other day and my heart goes out to you. My partner and I were together in our business for 30 years together from when I didn't know much of anything and learned from him so very much. He passed away 5 years before I had to close the doors and had friends and a wife who helped my try and hang on but sometimes you just have to accept the inevitable. The economy was the biggest killer. When people are trying to buy food and gasoline and hang onto their jobs, hobbies are the last on their mind. The best of luck to you both and as all the rest I wish you a Happy New Year and may God bless you both. Adieu.:wavey:
 
Thank you Francois! Very happy that you've had so much support.
A Happy New Year to you and Simon. I understand fully the reasons for you deciding to close up, that's fair enough. I do hope that your excellent products would be still available once you find a way.
