    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.

    1. 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.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. 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.

SSW RedPanda applied to radar ground mapping

SSW RedPanda based over WebSimConnect foundation ( http://websimconnect.webs.com/ ) has been applied to obtain a nice radar in ground mapping mode.
Into below video you can see the NASARR 21G radar that fits SSW AERITALIA-LOCKHEED F-104S.
Radar make use of SRTM terrain maps and reflectivity radar maps to obtain a realistic picture of the terrain front the aircraft.
Radar returns are depicted harder or softer pending on type of terrain: building, towns, towns and industrial area will have ah harder return, fields and countryside softer or null as showed into video.
Radar shadows are computed based on plane altitude and antenna tilt.
Video shows an approach to LIPR (Rimini/Miramare) at approx 3500'
Coast line, Rimini and Riccione towns are clearly visible and separated from other softer areas.
We believe this radar will be a good aid to navigate low level and to isolate targets.

SSW NASARR21-G radar on Ground Map Mode

Below video shows how antenna tilt and receveir gain are used to make an effective use of NASARR-21G to navigate at low altitude.
Use of reflective maps makes the radar depiction of terrain realistic as never seen before.
Most of the work has been done, next steps will be CM mode (Countour Map), TA (Terrain Avoidance) and MTI (Moving Target Indicator),
after that radar is complete and will fit both SSW AERITALIA-LOCKHEED F-104S and LOCKHEED FRF-104G (NASARR-15A) that will be distributed soon.
cheers
