    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.

Does anyone know the style of writing or font name for the calligraphy..?
I imagine it translates to "Royal Jet"...?
This is a jet service in Dubai..
 
I had a quick look with Google translate and according to Mr Google "Royal Jet"is written differently in Arabic than in this logo.

Cheers,

Mr Google may have a funny accent, but his Arabic is much better than mine :biggrin-new:.

it not translated. it say "Royal Jet" same as the English pronounce (on left of logo). and Arabic written style are from Right to left (opposite western style)
 
What you need to look for is artwork, not a font. Arabic is like any other letter system and there are hundreds of variations of the basic letters.
Google "Royal Jet" and find the best artwork (big and sharp) to trace or reuse. Just my two cents worth.
 
here you have better versions, the arabic font are painted as logo of the company, you will need to use a software to repaint it in higher resolution, there no font similar to write

In case anyone's interested, the arabic script is just the literal phonetic transcription of the words 'Royal Jet'. An Arabic reader reading the Arabic letters out loud would still say "Royal Jet" in English. Voila, some leftover knowledge from my days in Kuwait! :)

Edit: Sorry, didn't see that kalong saw that first!
