Hello

I think you are aware, but just in case: Couldn't connect to database server
Thanks and good luck fixing it.

Hmmmmm, airports, aircraft and packages are all working for me. Maybe Joe fixed it already.

Sorry about that, I managed to get the server rebooted.

I have been offline since yesterday when my flight sim computer died on me.

Sorry to hear that your simming computer died on you

Regards,

Thx Scott.

The same thing happened to it last year, I use a laptop so I can be out with the family when I fly rather than back in my cave on a desktop computer, the problem with laptops is because they are one integrated piece of hardware you can just swap out a part and fix it. In this case it's a power supply problem. The circuitry in the external power supply detects some sort of fault in the laptop and turns itself off. I was actually working on an update to the FSA client when the laptop just went dead when the battery completely drained

I sent it back into Dell last year for the exact same problem and now it's doing it again, plus some of the fans were making not very nice sounds so I am thinking this five year old computer is not worth it right now so its time to get something to replace it.
