    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

An FSX Movie for the Air Tanker AKA Firebomber fans...

This is for the air tanker buffs. :encouragement: I know for a fact we have several here.

As is usual for my videos, it was rendered in FS Recorder. So instead of putting music on it to mask the silence, this time I grafted on audio from real P-3 video clips I have.

The inspiration for making the video is the WIP base scenery Tankerguy72 is making for Hemet-Ryan. For those of us that have been there in real life (we grew up there) it is like stepping into the real thing.

In the video, you fly on a full sortie out of Hemet-Ryan Air Attack on an Initial Attack dispatch to Avery Canyon Road just south of Hemet. It is a real life high fire threat area, and has several homes in the canyon with only one escape route. As I go on scene, you may notice from the Megascenery there are homes in immediate danger on each flank, so I elect to drop on both flanks as the focus of this first sortie instead of in front of the head. We then return to the pits at the tanker base and shut down engine #2 for another load of Phoschek before the movie ends.
