    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.

Things I recently found out about ...

... probably many of you know about these, but maybe a few newcomers like me don't know.

1) FPS display. Go to Windows 10 menu and click settings, then gaming. Enable xbox game bar. Then Win/G to show it. Click 4th item across - performance. Click FPS, it will ask you for approval so click. Then a windows
restart is needed. Do it and you're good to go with Win/G. If it acts weird in other games or browsers, you can easily turn game bar off.

2) If you've completed a flight and want to do it again later, go to pilot profile, logbook, find the flight, click on it, then on fly again.

3) Finding the critters. When creating a flight plan, type 'fauna' in the search box to get a list of critter locations. Click on one and set as departure, then fly.
If it's night there, use inflight menu bar and select active pause. Then click on weather and use the slider to set a day time. Close that and click off active pause and your ready for some wildlife.
I am still not into camera views yet, but the Icon 5 airplane is a good one to use to land near hippos, giraffes, etc. if they are in the open.

My next effort is to try finding a way to use the joystick hat switch like FSX to pan around instead of the 4 view it gives now.
If anyone has any insight on this, I would be grateful to find out. Thanks.
