    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.

Weird question about weird noise

For the last several months I get a noise that appears during a flight for perhaps 10 seconds.
It sounds like a vacuum cleaner and there is a definite winding down sound as it ends,like it is spooling down.
I can't identify a specific phase of flight or any action on my part that triggers the sound nor is it unique to one aircraft.
I don't know why it would suddenly appear after years of using MSFS.
The fist time I noticed it was during a flight with the GKS Mig 25 and assumed it was something with that aircraft but it has happened since then with other aircraft.
Just curious if anyone else has noticed anything like this.
