    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.

Update 1.10.11.0

Make sure the BING data is on.

I tried uninstalling, and now it's complaining it can't contact the servers. So something is screwed up. I tried logging out rebooting and logging in, I changed my password, I installed the X-box app on my computer. I'm logging into my account just fine, but there is something blocking MSFS from installing, and I can't uninstall the whole package. I tried to repair the install, I tried resetting it. Off to Google....
 
So... It sounds like I've run into some "data cap" issue that they're aware of, I guess we all have some cap on data transfer, that's supposed to get reset every month, but they've found an issue where it's not getting reset... I'm running through the repair steps now.
 
Thanks for that link. I've started a Zendesk links list for things such as this. It's in the stickies section.
 
Oh, and @jimjones, thanks for the tip. Apparently, somewhere along the way, MSFS did turn off Bing data on me, and it was still off even after I successfully applied the latest update. Turning it back on brought back photogrammetry.
 
I finally got mine working. Had to redownload and install to default location. Luckily I recently installed new 1TB SSD as C:// drive.

Turns out my original download included 4 base scenery .bgls that were so corrupted that I can't delete them!?? I also can't overwrite them, so the entire folder structure is trapped. Anyway, the sim is working well for me now, in default form. Aircraft and scenery bought from the store are working fine. next is to try my ORBX scenery and Dino's Longeze, as well as IRIS' Jabiru.
