    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.

im thinking about Dirt 3,i like the gymkana style stuff,,single car crazyness...but still with sort of a purpose,,i suppose thats why i like rally racing as well....but i have an expencive wheel/throttle/break/clutch,multi speed shifter,,,id like to use the clutch and shifter...

what sim would you guys suggest?....im not into "online " racing against others,,,i dont mind IA racing,,but rally,time trials,gymkana,ect,,,,,thanks Dave
 
You'd enjoy Dirt 3 Dave, just make sure your wheel is supported, as only high end models seem to be.
There were a few bugs in the beginning but they seem to have been sorted out.
I'm hanging out for Rfactor 2 ............. :jump:
 
DiRT3 is fantastic but still more of a game than a sim, however the Gynkhana stuff is well done and rallying is great too. The cars are very well controlable and easy to slide round the corners.

If you want a real sim, wait for rFactor2 like Wombat and myself, or try to find a copy of Race07/GTR Evolution/Race on! from Simbin which are touring car sims. Great 'feeling' with the cars if you have a force feedback wheel!
 
i looked at the Rfactor2 site...looks like it will be cool..love those carts,,has dirt,,rally,,lots of stuff..my worry though..will it be one of those things where you have to work your way up through the "ranks" to unlock cars and tracks?..ive waisted more money on games i thought were sims because of that...i know there were/are cheats...but still....i wanna drive not pretend to be on a team...
