The FlightSimX Forum is back in business, folks.
The site move and upgrade is now almost complete. If you notice anything odd on the site or the forum, please let me know.
Thanks for your patience this weekend.
Mark - FlightSimX

Hi folks and thanks for bearing with me during the site move. Wordpress decided to release a new version of the application I use to maintain this site over the weekend, too, so I took the opportunity to upgrade during the move.
Hopefully things will start to settle down now. I’ve still got an issue with the Forum which I’m working on. Don’t worry, I have backups of everything, so it’ll only be a matter of time before it’s back

This weekend, I’ll be moving FlightSimX to it’s new host. There’s nothing you need to do, everything will be where you expect it to be when it’s all done.
From past experience of moving hosts, you can expect the site to be a little erratic for 24 to 48 hours, but it’s not normally anywhere near that long.
Over the past week, there’s been no less than 14 hours of downtime and that’s simply unacceptable. I apologise if the site’s been down when you’ve come to get your daily dose of Flight Sim news. This move should put all of those problems behind us and allow the site to grow even further.
I’ll post again when everything’s complete.
Update: 29th March - the site has now moved to the new host. It’ll probably be a few hours before it settles down completely.
