Originally we tried the Robot.txt file but they just ignored it. We ended just blocking them at the server level in the Firewall.

Tom I thought I might share this tidbit Ickie came up with over at the Outhouse. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?79790-Aggressive-MSN-Search-Bots I noticed AVSIM was down the other day and it looks like the site is loading slow (for me). I am thinking you might be having the same issue with the MSN Search Bots almost acting like a DDoS Attack. http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d4743e76-d7e7-49d2-84a5-3fd119dd6438/msn-bot-crashes-my-site-like-a-dos-attack http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/41092b13-7fd6-4c65-a43d-fe81add8e964/msn-search-bot-trying-to-attack-my-site http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/41092b13-7fd6-4c65-a43d-fe81add8e964/msn-search-bot-trying-to-attack-my-site Ickie has a fix for the issue posted in our thread above. Even if you are not suffering from the above issues with MSN search bots you may want to apply the fix to your server. Dave

The Sim-Outhouse has launched our first Practice for the RTWR 2013 Season. This year we thought we would do things slightly different. We have opened the practice up to all pilots from any Team. This practice is really designed to be fun and simply cover the basics. Its a good time for the new people to get familiar with the General rules, see how the Routing rules define how the race is run, test their system, and generally get the bugs kicked out. Planning should be kept to a bare minimum we experienced members can help provide guidance to new racers but we will not be working up a complete race plan. Please see the rules http://www.sim-outho...Open-Practice-1 Use of the TS3 server and FS Host server will be provided but is not required. If you are not registered at SOH and are having trouble doing so PM me here and I will get an account setup for you. Dave

Scratch thatOur backup server is choosing today to have issuesWe are reverting back to www.sim-outhouse.net

For those of you who did not receive the email.

StoneC0ld I demoted you to Member saved your status then I upgraded you back to Member+Go back to the site log out. Then log back in. If that does not work log out again. Clear your cookies and temp internet files then log back in. At that point I really hope it works but it should be working fine now. Paolo_R you were only a member and needed the upgrade to Member+. I upgraded your account try accessing the site, log in if you need to and see if you can see the attachments and create posts. Anyone else who has problems email Willy from the contact us link at the bottom of the page. Don't forget to include your user name in the message. He gets a lot of messages that people do not provide the proper information to help them out. Dave

To combat Bots we instituted a system that requires members to request an upgrade to member+ to post or view attachments. Normal Members can only view the forums or download files. This system works pretty well as most people join to get access to the files anyway and do not take part in the forums. I see your user name and you are Member+ so something else may be wrong. I will try and change your group and see if that shakes it loose.

From the Team Outhouse Websitehttp://www.sim-outhouse.com This came to the Teams attention just last night. A temporary home has been created on our new flight server.SOH Flight Center http://www.sim-outhouse.nethttp://www.sim-outhouse.net/forum/forumdis...-the-World-RacePlease post all necessary correspondence at the SOH Flight Center Multi-Player forum.All persons who were registered at www.sim-outhouse.com must register again at www.sim-outhouse.net. The databases are not the same. This post is being made to advise each team of where they can find the Team Outhouse during the race...Although we might be lost.Good Luck and may each Team have an enjoyable race.

I never used it.My Bios is set to auto start.The PC is set to auto log on then LOCKAll of the instances of FS Host that I run are in the Windows start up menu FS Host can not run as a service so you must log on when it restarts. Check the FS Host forums. This thread contains two programs that can run FS Host as a service. http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=87.0

Mike We were just tossing that Idea around a few minutes ago.I think John has just volenteered to call them tomorrow and find out which one it is. There are two trophies when you click the link that says side view that is a different trophy than the tornado cup. Anyway I am in it for the $10 spot One thing is for sure... IT AINT STAYING OVER AT WILLY'S :( We would end up having to buy it again. :(

Excellant work Guys Congradulations :(

Well of course not the answer I was looking for but Thank You very much anyway. Dave

I have been working on a weather theme for FS9 with Microsofts Weather Theme Creator and it is not the most user friendly program to use. My question is can Active Sky 6.x create weather themes that I can export to send to others FS9 users for installation in their sim?Specifically .wt and .wtb files.With out knowing how FSX works is it possible load a FS9 weather theme into FSX?ThanksDave
