A couple of weeks ago, when we attempted to upgrade the underlying system software to its latest revision, we discovered that the 43 tables associated with the LINKS system were corrupted. This was one of the major reasons that the upgrade failed. We have since replaced the links system, but were unable to recover the data that had been stored in the database. We apologize to everyone who helped populate the LINKS system; there was a tremendous amount of information stored there. Please visit the new LINK system and resubmit your site, your favorite sites, and other information as you can. You can find the new system here: http://forum.avsim.net/links/ Or by clicking on the CONTENT Tab above. Thanks for your understanding and future contribution to the LINKS system. -
AVSIM Brings New Classified Ads and Bargain Basement Online
Tom Allensworth posted a article in AVSIM News
We are pleased to announce the opening of the new Classified Advertising and Bargain Basement system. The new system bring a considerable amount of functionality to the advertiser that we could not provide in the previous forum format. As with the forum based system, members are encouraged to post bargains in the simulation and hardware marketplace. If you have hardware or software for sale, you can post your ads and they will be viewed by potentially thousands of AVSIM community members. You can open up the Classified Ads and Bargain Basement system here. -
Well, after some long days, we seem to have licked the issues that arose with the update to the IPB base software. As you can see, most functionality of the previous system is back and more importantly, the site is up to its previous speeds of response. I want to thank almost everyone for your patience and understanding during this bit of a flight diversion. We are now back on course, and things can settle down to the low roar that was AVSIM a week or so ago. -
The AVSIM 2013 Demographic Survey is now online! The demographic survey attempts to take the "heart beat" of the flight simulation community this year. This year, the survey consists of 28 questions, all of which attempt to define our community, it's interests and the specifics of your hobby and the use of flight simulators. We will publish the results provided up to to the FANCON on Saturday, May 4th. The survey will run through December and we will provide updates or snapshots from time to time. Please take the survey today and help us explore your community. -
We have just opened the new AVSIM Video Library. The video library is an aggregator (for lack of a better word), where videos hosteb by YouTube, Yahoo Video, Google Video, etc. The purpose of this library is to provide a showcase for video makers, commercial members, and those wishing to share their flight sim experience in one place. Now, instead of having to search through all the various video servers, users and video makers alike have a one stop place to catalog their creations and provide them to their community. The videos are not hosted by AVSIM, but simply cataloged by the contributors and made available to their community members. A test video in the new Video Library can be found here: Test And important feature of this new video library is that commercial members can place videos of their products and upcoming products in the library for the AVSIM community to view and discuss. Another important feature is that everytime a video is placed in the library, the pertinent information and a link to the video page is opened in the forums. This provides users in the forum notification of the video availability and a place to hold longer discussions about the video or product. We have placed a number of categories in the new library and are looking for suggestions on others. If you have categories that you think should be entered, please respond to the Categories topic in the HANGAR CHAT forum. The new video library can be found by going to the FEATURES tab above and selecting VIDEO LIBRARY. If can also be found at http://forum.avsim.net/videos
