  • 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.

    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.

Those flames look so real.

What those Unigine demos do, is make us realise how dated the FsX engine really is.
 
Indeed, the difference of "age", in terms of techology, is really visible, to say the least.
 
I wish someone WOULD make a serious sim with this engine. These tech demos show what would be possible.

The problem seems to be making it work on a world-wide scale. The NexGen flight sim project tried to do it (may still be trying), but rumour had it that Unigine wouldn't (or couldn't) provide support for the whole world. That, and the fact that the license has been quoted as costing as much as $50,000! You'd have to sell a lot of software to recover that sort of investment.

Wow! When going thru that smoke, I almost wanted to cough. :encouragement:


I went to page were you can get a free demo, but they ask, What project are you working on.

The one with the ships and bow and stern waves were amazing, The water action is truly awesome. Reminds me of the days when I was at sea looking at bow and stern waves.
