    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.

Two different controllers at same time?

Is anyone switching between two different types of controllers in MSFS? I know it's possible to do so, but I'm curious if there are any interference issues? I have an old Saitek (with some button problems) that I'd like to keep, and am thinking about buying the Thrustmaster Airbus Stick/Throttle to use as well.

I have a MS X-Box controller connected. It works fine with the rest.
 
The nice thing is that you can create a different profile for each controller, and controller type. That way when flying a single engine, fixed pitch- that controller (TQ) is usable. When flying a 4 engine complex aeroplane that TQ is available. It's just a matter of creating a new profile (you can start by copying) and naming it appropriately. I happen to use separate TQs. Then, just select from CONTROLS and off you go. Same thing with a Warthog or PFC Quadrant- depending on the aircraft.

A CHEAP wired XBox controller is excellent for the Drone Camera control- really worth the $15.

I bought an Xbox controller for drone use, and as long as there are no extraneous inputs (like when it falls off the stand and leans on a stick), there's no issue.
