===FlightGear wiki moved to a new server=== | |||
Probably all of you have noticed the fast amount of 503 errors that showed up lately. The reason for this was that we received a lot of visitors each day, more than the server could handle. After three months, the wiki was fianlly moved to a new server on the 10th of March. From now on, there should be no more 503 errors popping up. Please [[Help:Contents|contact the wiki admin]] if they do, or if any other problems arise. | |||

Thanks to Charles Ingels (cbz026), there is another [[Howto: Multiplayer|multiplayer]] server in France! This brings the total number of servers to 13, of which 10 in Europe, two in North-America and one in Asia. | Thanks to Charles Ingels (cbz026), there is another [[Howto: Multiplayer|multiplayer]] server in France!
