Erratic behavior of Cessna 182 and web pages

[1franciscodep]

For the past 8 days I noticed an irregular behavior on the A2A Cessna 182 very erratic response to input controls.
> Trying to access the Community and to A2A simulations web pages I encountered "Error 525 SSL handshake failed"]every time I tried the pages.
I removed the app and re installed in the same folder I had. After the install was successful I encountered the following: "Checking for update-Invalid or missing updates configuration file. The first line of the .INI file should be ";aiu;". the content of the server does not match the updates configuration file URL"

Hello Francisco,

As you may have seen from various other forum posts, our website has been seeing very heavy levels of traffic since we made the Accu-Sim P-40 available as a free download a few days ago. This has caused the "Checking for update-Invalid or missing updates configuration file (...)" message you're seeing.

However, if you re-run the update tool, generally it should work. In the worst case, you made need to try a few times.

There's no need to worry about any phishing attack or similar though: it's purely a result of heavy traffic.

For the issue you mention with the "erratic response to input controls" it may be worth checking that your control mapping hasn't been messed up. DO you use any third-party software such as FSUIPC5 for this purpose?

Thanks,
Nick
