    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.

V1.17.3.0 Requesting Reinstall after 8 days

After 8 days of successful use of MSFS following install of v1.17.3.0, I'm getting a request to install again. Anyone else experiencing this? Why would this occur? Did MS detect a problem with my install then want to fix it? I'm holding off reinstalling pending comments. Thanks.
 
Same thing happened to me. I let it reinstall. It was less than 500 mb and only took a few seconds. After that everything worked fine. I did not have to reinstall the Scandinavian scernery.
 
I got that too but it was only a few kilobytes.
Sometimes when there's a small patch after an update they don't bother updating the changelog screen for some reason.
don't worry about it, I don't know what it changed but it was a non event for me.
 
Apparently the update was to install the Aviator liveries which were somehow not included in the main update.
 
There are also some new effect files - possibly in preparation for the upcoming DX12 and particle effects.
