    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.

Aircraft Config File Question

Is there a way to change the color of the font or highlight an entry in the Aircraft Config File ? Example: If you have an aircraft with a large number of repaints can you "highlight" the last aircraft entry with a different color font or just highlighting like you would say with a "yellow highlighter" to make it easier to find when scrolling through the entries to add another aircraft entry. I insert a break-line under the last aircraft entry
(break-line= //################## "about 3 or 4 lines long" ), but with my old eyes it is still hard to see when scrolling through nothing but black and white fine print.
 
Don't think so T. The .cfg files are just plain text. You could open it in Word and highlight stuff, but that would make the file unreadable by the sim. What I do for my degraded eyeballs is crank up the font size on Notepad...
 
Use a different text editor. Notepad2, for example, has scaleable fonts and basic highlighting.
 
I normally just leave a large gap between the last aircraft entry and the rest of the cfg entries.

Pete.
