July 31, 20205 yr Administrators It wasn't an AVSIM server problem! Major storm caused power outage. The serve then had to be rebooted.

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
July 31, 20205 yr Author Commercial Member Cool, hopefully it is sorted then! Must have been bad luck that my access times that coincided with the outage and then the reboot.

They want their hosting back. Seriously, you need a better provider. Cheers! Luke Kolin I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.

Fltsim.com is getting ready to go down. Just tried it and it took forever for it to show and can't navigate it. Good timing!🙄 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.

If you have physical hardware or unreliable power, you're doing it wrong. Cheers! Luke Kolin I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.

July 31, 20205 yr I'm glad to hear that AVSIM should be OK during the zombie apocalypse, assuming the backup genny does it's job.... (incidentally, how much diesel do you have for that generator??) 🍻 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

July 31, 20205 yr Moderator No idea whatever. It may well be natural gas for all I know... ...which isn't much really! Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
July 31, 20205 yr Administrators I agree with Bill! Probably natural gas or one heck of a large propane tank.

August 2, 20205 yr Author Commercial Member So it was down again about an hour or two ago. Anyone else have this problem? I tried isitdownrightnow but that said it was up. Never been totally convinced by what they say though.
