    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 ask for Japanese planes and I get British Planes

I ask For General Aviation Planes and I get All Helicopters

This has been in error for God knows how long, it seems
no one is paying attention.

I would try renaming the FSX configuration file, it will reset everything back to defaults. Depending on where you installed the flight sim, here are the default locations.
If you've got XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\(Your Windows User Name)\Microsoft\FSX

If you've got Vista/Win 7: C:\Users\(Your Windows User Name)\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

And if you have Windows 8, 8.1 or 10: Hit your Windows key + R (Or open Run from the Start menu), type %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX

Note that you'll have to tick on 'show hidden files/folders' under folder options. Otherwise you'll not be able to see these hidden files.



P.S. When editing your fsx.cfg, don't forget to make a backup first...
