    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.

First check if you have the fx_wake_a_cruiser effect in your effect.xml
If so you can reposition the bow wave by adjusting the distance in the effect.xml
 
Try using these lines: <Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_wake_​g_cruiser" MinVel="2" MaxVel="100"/>
 
Or use this, replace the Effect Type with this one:
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_wake_bismarck" MinVel="2" MaxVel="100"/>

Add the following lines to your effects.xml:
<dr_wake_bismarck_front_foam_wave ClassName="ParticleEffect" EmitterShape="sphere" EmitterRadius="1" EmitterLifetime="0" EmitterPosX="0" EmitterPosY="0" EmitterPosZ="125" ZBias="0.01" EmissionAngleHoriz="0" EmissionAngleVert="1" EmissionSpread="25" EmissionRate="25" EmissionRateVar="0" InitialDelay="0" InitialCount="0" MinDistance="30" MaxDistance="2000" StopMethod="0" ZSort="1" UprightSprite="0" RandomStartRotation="1" RandomRotationDirection="1" Lifetime="3" LifetimeVar=".1" Speed="5" SpeedVar="2" MaxSpeed="600" MaxSpeedVar="0.0" Accel="-15" AccelVar="0.0" AccelTime="1.1" Gravity="0" Drag="0.0" DragDelay="0.0" InheritVelocity="0.0" Size="7" SizeVar="1" MaxSize="6" MaxSizeVar="0" GrowRate="0" GrowRateVar="0" RotationRate="10" RotationRateVar="0" FadeInTime=".2" InitialColor="255 255 255" InitialAlpha="150" Color="255 255 255" Alpha="150" FadeOutTime=".5" FinalColor="255 255 255" FinalAlpha="0" Texture="cloudpuff.DDS" BlendMode="QuadSprite"/>
<fx_wake_bismarck ClassName="GroupEffect" Effect0="dr_wake_CA_1" Effect1="dr_wake_CA_2" Effect2="dr_wake_CA_3" Effect3="dr_wake_CA_4" Effect4="dr_wake_a_cruiser_mid_1" Effect5="dr_wake_a_cruiser_tail" Effect6="dr_wake_G_cruiser_front_1" Effect7="dr_wake_bismarck_front_foam_wave"/>
