    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.

Wide screen monitors?

I'm geting back into FSX after a couple years absense. I have the opportunity to get a new curved screen monitor at a good price. Will it work with FSX and Window 10? My video card is mid-range and about five years old.
 
I have a curved monitor (38"), bought it for MSFS 2020, which I didn't like, so went back to FS9 and FSX and wished that I had never sold my old flat 23" monitor. I fly FS9, FSX, CFS2 etc. in a 23" screen on my 38" monitor with big black "panels" on both side. And for ME it still feels different from the "old" flying on the 23" flat monitor.

So MY advice: don't buy it.

There's no reason why it wouldn't work, but whether it will be satisfactory is another question! A 16:9 ratio is always going to be better in my opinion, generally with a head tracker for best results.
 
I got the monitor...

.... and it is a huge improvement over the former flat screen, IMHO. Color rendition and the cockpit is now close to life size (32") for GA aircraft. Head tracker would be great. I'm so relieved that my mediocre computer got a big upgrade without a big investment or loss of any performance. It also renewed my interest insimming, which had been doermant for over a year.
