Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

A utility that downloads MODIS active fire data from the NASA FIRMS website to create fires in Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.

Even better: LORBY-SI - FIREFIGHTER X FSX P3D
FireFighter X is a completely stand-alone addon for “Microsoft Flight Simulator X ®” and “Lockheed Martin Prepar3d V2/V3®”, running alongside your sim. It generates fires dynamically and enables you to put them out. Just start your flight at the airport of your choice, using any aircraft in your hangar. Adjust the retardant amount in FFX to suit your aircraft (mind the weight!), choose water or red chemicals as agent and you are good to go!
Fires will start small. But with a bit of wind, they will grow and spread, so don't take too long finishing your coffee. Fly over the fires, calculate your speed and the ideal drop approach, position and altitude - hit the trigger - watch the fires turn to ash and steam (provided you hit them). Or drop large amounts of the red retardant as barriers, box the fire in and just let it burn itself out. Running out of water? Scoop water from nearby water bodies. This is possible with every aircraft too - but only advisable with flying boats.
