    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.

Trying to find where Microsoft hides FS2024 files

As the title says, I need to find where MS has the startup (exe) file from 2024. I have all my simulator programs on my "S" drive. I recently purchased a Moza force feedback yoke and I am trying to get it working. As the attached image shows, I need the top line where the basic files are stored. The other lines I can get to, but MS makes things hard on old men.

I use a shortcut from FSUIPC to start MS24 and associated support programs. The line that starts MSFS reads, "Start mshta %splash%" Other than the first word, I might as well be trying to talk to Dimus in his native Greek. I know many of you guys speaks computerese. I just need to know what goes in the "Game installation path".

The default game installation path is:

C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe
 
You want to try to look up were your community folder is at Marketplace/Library and then click on the little wheel under(!) your name - not the one right to it. You'll find your files in the folder above via windows explorer- I think.... It seems like a new kind of DRM :unsure:
 
Thank you guys for the info. However, I have a bigger problem with the new YA 210 force feedback yoke I just purchased. I spent over an hour with a Discord gentleman from the UK with Moza. It seems my computer isn't recognizing the YA210 via a usb/COM port. I see two COM ports listed under devices. One is for the DOF H3 motion platform, via the SimHub software and the other is for the Qubic BT1 belt tensioner. I need to figure out how to either add a hub or use one of the five hidden COM ports for the YA210. The Moza support people are in China. So, everything takes a day to go back and forth.

I know that I don't spend anymore money than someone with a passion for golf or fishing does (I been there for both). Still, sometimes I question my sanity. Oh well, it sure keeps me from being bored in my old age. Doctors tell me it is good for my brain, too. I figure planning and flying a flight is just as good for my brain, and far cheaper.
 
Instresting: In Lelystad,NL it all sound like coming from Florida (with less probs then one would dream off and the best support ever) :unsure: And since I was contemplating the investment myself (+ Rudder, + Throttle): I'd appreciate if you keep us posted ;)
