  • 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.

Screenshots!

Was able to install Ankor's shadeders in the install too, and made a big difference. What joy was it to at least be able to play it some so far ! Now just to not get getting shot down. A challenging sim !
 
Was able to fly tonight ! What joy ! Here's a AH/JF Spitfire Mk I vs a Bf 109E-1 . You can see the pilot bailing out ! Success ! CFS3 ETO,( you've probably seen it on the FB group). Shot01-01-25-21-39-21.jpg
 
I didn't make it in time for Christmas, or New Year's, but that doesn't mean some new toys aren't being boxed and wrapped for you guys. Still putting a few last finishing touches on. Sorry for the preponderance of Spitfire pics instead of greater aircraft variety, but it's my usual plane when I'm testing.

WOW! I've played CFS3 many moons ago, and that looks just brilliant. I guess I don't want to know how many hours you spent modding the sim. The terrain, lighting, clouds and shades look better than P3D (modded).

Hopefully quite soon. It is a pretty extensive overhaul of the CFS3 environment, and there are quite a few pieces to gather up into a package, which I am working on now. I am also hoping Andrey can help me solve a couple remaining issues in the mean time.

I still have my install disks for CFS3. If and when this is released, I'm going to reinstall it, just to be able to have this.

Graphically, Cliffs of Dover (Il-2 series) is vastly superior to CFS3, but this seems to be a game changer! And to me, the fun factor of CFS3 is vastly superior to that of CoD.

I agree on CoD vs CFS3. Never could enjoy Cliffs like I wanted to. I think it's the AI. I find CFS3's more believable. But I really appreciate the looks and detail in Cliffs. Through my various projects, I'm trying to bring all the things I like about different sims under one roof in the only sim mod-able enough to achieve it.

Actively working on making that possible! Last night I was making some revisions to the haze color used in some of the different weather files. Even a very slight change in the tint of the haze makes a huge difference in how real the scene feels. In fact, haze is probably the single most influential individual factor for overall appearance, since it is factored onto just about every surface you see to varying degrees.
