    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.

A nice on line experience

Last evening we flew on line with a bunch of friends over Scotland. We were flying openly, not in a closed group.

I was flying the default Cirrus. On approach to Inverness I was approached by an unknown simmer flying a Spitfire. He was not from our group and I had labels off so I could not identify him. He stayed in formation with me after the touch and go flying on both sides for a few minutes. After that he peeled off and left.

A nice sim experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Very sporty!

Hey Dimus, that's really cool. I have not done much multiplayer in MSFS, but during Alpha testing I did join a few group flights and flyins, and they were good fun. Even just playing the sim day to day I always have multiplayer turned on, so if someone is flying in the same area I will see them, and I often do. I was at YBBN and WSSS the other night and it was very busy with real people at both airports. On one occasion I was testing an airport in an A320, just loading at gates and testing the functions, and I started getting buzzed by a Cessna, he kept swooping down and just flying over the top of me really close. It turned out it was another tester I know just having a bit of fun.
 
That is cool, but how did his Spitfire look like a Spitfire from your perspective? Do you have to have the same aircraft installed in your own game?

Indeed I have the Spitfire too so I was able to see him as a Spitfire. If I did not have it then the sim would replace it with a default GA probably.
