August 8, 20214 yr Don't know if somebody can read this. 😉 In Asia and also some parts of Europe avsim went down and it appears the domain is expired? All including library still working here in Germany. Fingers crossed all will be back soon. brgds, Ron Flying P3Dv5 with PMDG 737 NGXu, 747v3, 777; QW 787; Orbx; Chaseplane, AI Lights Reborn Pro, Lots of AI, AIController Visit www.airlinesim.aero

August 8, 20214 yr Had problems here in the USA as well. Flushed my DNS cache and AVSIM's back. Did they change servers or something?

August 8, 20214 yr I'm in the USA and it was down for me earlier this morning, now it seems to be working. I didn't manually flush DNS or do anything. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
August 8, 20214 yr The registration for the domain Avsim.net expired on Friday, August 6th. When this happens, the domain registry will change the DNS entry for Avsim.net to point at a generic page indicating the registration has expired. For those unfamiliar, DNS is the the part of the internet backbone that translates domain names like “Avsim.net” into the actual numeric IP address of the server hosting a particular web sit. In that regard, it is sort of like a telephone directory that correlates names and street addresses to the numeric telephone number active at a particular address. When the domain registrar modifies top-level DNS for a given domain, this change propagates to all other domain servers on the internet, which usually takes several hours, or even a day or two. The registration has been renewed. The new expiration date is now August 6, 2022 - but the DNS change back to the original Avsim.net IP address has not yet propagated to all internet name servers. If I connect to Avsim on my iPhone using my home WiFi, which in turn is connected to my Spectrum cable modem, I get through with no problem. If I switch off WiFi and connect to the internet via Verizon Wireless, I get the expired domain message. This indicates that the Verizon DNS servers have not yet updated to show that Avsim is back online, while the Spectrum DNS servers have already updated.

August 8, 20214 yr It was down for me this morning but seems to be OK now. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
August 9, 20214 yr It went down for me this afternoon, I can now access it on my PC but still cannot on my iPad/iPhone. Is there something I need to do on those apple devices or is it just a matter of patience?

August 9, 20214 yr Administrators I'm on a chromebook with no problems for most of the day. Some have said something about flushing your dns cache to fix the problem. Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. 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!
August 9, 20214 yr Avsim website is still not working in New Zealand. I'm using a VPN from the USA and it works. Edit: Cleared Chrome browser history, Flushed DNS in W10 and still no luck. Need to use a VPN to reach the real site. Still get a hosting website page otherwise. Edited August 9, 20214 yr by RW1
