    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.

Buddy tanking from a Bucc :)
 
Some further info for those of us that do not know yet about this magnificent addon:
This is a addon for an addon :)
More precisely, this is an payware extension pack for the payware addon called "Airshow Assistant", specifically aimed at the aerial refuelling system. The pack contains additional types of tankers with multiple repaints for each of them.

AirshowAssistant, in its payware variant, offers a functionality to simulate realistically aerial refuelling. You can make a tanker of your choice appear in the air and fly in front of you, then you can try to connect your plane to it to refuel. Note that the physical connection to the tanker is really simulated, also visually: you really catch the basket and you see it attached to your probe, or the extending boom really orientates, extends/retracts, and inserts in your refuelling door. It's not like in FSX/VRS where you just pretend to be close enough to refuel. It's more like DCS, but you get three levels of difficulty, from beginner (tanker will translate to connect magically when you're close enough) to ace (tanker won't move, you have to catch the basket and keep it connected all by yourself).

For me it's the best addon I have purchased for MSFS yet.
 
Same, for that price, it's more than worth it. Has added a whole new level of fun for me to the sim. Breaking the hose off of the refueler and having it dangling from the probe of the F-35 back along the fuselage was the "wow" moment for me. And they just keep making it better. Not to mention the formation and effects capabilities. Good stuff.
