    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.

Tobii Eye Tracking hack.

Went ahead and installed FS24 this morning. Going through the VERY arduous task of trying to set things up. However, I did find one (relatively) easy hack to get Tobii Eye Tracker working.

Great video tutorial by Jonathan Beckett called "Configuring the Tobii Eye Tracker for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024"
(I can't seem to get the link directly to the YouTube video working in this post)

PS: Can anyone point me to the easiest controls setup tutorial. Man oh man, I think I've got a control setup and yet it doesn't save. Ugh!

Thanks, I've been watching video tutorials one by one. I have a general understanding on how control bindings work. The problem has been applying and saving them. It's just more complicated that it needs to be (as others have pointed out). Honestly, one of the reasons I waited until now was the dread of having to go through and map my controls with this new interface.

I hear ya mate! I'm waiting to dive into the new sim until I'm off of work. I'll have three weeks off in a week and a half, so I'll be able to take my time.

IMHO, the whole controls mapping of this new sim is a disaster. But we'll have to live with it.

Many mappings just don't seem to work, then there was the obscure binding I used to lower the gear which was a default engines auto stop.
 
I've gotten to the point where I just go in to the controls menu and delete all default settings and redo them to my preference. Took a little while for just my X-56, and it still does strange things at random times, but, atleast I know, (sometimes,) what I'm trying to do. However, when trying to do anything with my xbox controller, which I'm trying to learn to use just for the avatar and drone, anytime I try to assign something, I get "wrong device" in the label, and no changed setting. However, when I first started using it, shrtly after the sim was released, it was working fine and could be programed. It's getting to be like 2020 was/is, updates fix this, but break that. :banghead:
 
Bindings remain a problem and seem to float away on the winds on occasion. Then there is the "new user" trophy I have been awarded several times. All bindings go to default?

I can't help but think that this is due to cloud sync issues.

Another good reason they should reside on our computers. Almost every session I have to re do some bindings.

I agree mate. I also think that they shouldn't have changed the whole system of bindings like they've done.

Like you, I'm just another beta-tester for M$...

Latest fun has been trying to install the latest SDK, it keeps saying I need a particular version of RunTime, which when I found it, made no difference.

Fliger, mind telling me what version and type of runtime it needs?
