    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.

An old name is being revived

vipgroup

vipgroup

SOH-CM-2024
Many of you remember the VIP days. It started off as Visually Incredible Panels more than 30 years ago, and it morphed into The VIP Group as the operation grew. Well, it has now been quarter of a century since the last VIP product. Since then, Flight Simulation has been my daily hobby as I have turned to other ventures for business. I have been a newspaper journalist, the owner of an online news agency, and author of more than ten books.... And those letters VIP were but a memory... Until now.

I have started work on a new Flight Simulation book, and am reviving the term VIP as part of the title of this first volume in what might become a series. It gives me goosebumps to be using that term again, bringing back fond memories, and inspiring hope for the future as a brand.

I cannot yet share any further details except to say it will be a physical book, not digital, and perfect-bound paperback or possibly coil bound, although that latter option is expensive to print. I sincerely hope that I can bring something unique to the community, something which will educate, inform, and provide lots of simming fun, with maybe a community aspect too.

It will take months to bring this together even with me working full days on it. BUT, all being well, as the year progresses, the sun will rise on the term VIP again.... And here come the goosebumps once more.....

Regards
Kenneth
