• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AVSIM Down

AVSIM has been up and down all day in the UK and it seems to be down - 503 service Unavailable
 
AVSIM file library and forum system are accessible and working OK in the Chicago area of USA at this time. :coffee:
 
The site suddenly crashed today generating 503 errors (an overflow issue) and continues to stay in that state. I was able to gain access most of the day but can no longer. We are not quite sure what caused the current problem(s) but our technician will be checking out the servers to find and fix the problem. Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE:
Chase has successfully fixed the 503 errors temporarily until repairs of the server can be made. He put it in Performance Mode which gives us access to most things on the site.
 
It's now ruinning but with some features missing. Presumably those are a consequece of Performance Mode
 
Avsim is offline while a team of IT specialists are working on the servers, an unexpected problem occurred after restarting the Mars server, “Apache" did not start. When the server was restarted the first time, this didn’t happen. Basically this means the server is on and operational, but the web interface program isn’t started up. Apache handles the requests and serves the info. The work is expected to be completed over the Weekend.

The planned work was undertaken with the outage limited to a few minutes but as is the way of such endeavours the unexpected happens, the forum is offline; the library (library.avsim.net) is operational but not serving files.

Brian will be on the ground tomorrow at the data center at 11:00AM. with two spare PCI Express video cards on hand to install on our servers.

We thank You for your patience and will post updates as available.
 
That's not the "real" AVSIM though, just the Russian site that "borrowed the name" without permission. :censored:

Like the regular Avsim, it's the go-to site for anything eastern bloc for MSFS though.
And they mostly seem to take their things seriously.
