  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

We've now completed the testing on parachute and pallet drops. FDs are getting refined and liveries and sound underway. Won't be long now.:engel016:

No option for dropping little skid steer vehicles to deal with animated fires, though... :engel016:

Very cool! I assume there will be a Thunderbirds paint? If so, I'm in! (Love collecting Thunderbirds and Blue Angels planes.)
 
Speaking of Boxcars, that might have been me up there in the cockpit of a Troop Carrier at Armed Forces Day Open House, Mitchel Field Long Island, maybe circa 1956. Can't remember how old I was. Maybe 10. Being that we lived not far from the base, the C-119s and T-33s used to fly over the house all the time on final approach. My house was located between Mitchel Field, Grumman Bethpage and Republic Aviation, Farmingdale. What a way to grow up surrounded by aircraft of the fantastic fifties and sixties. I would love to see a paint of the C-119 dressed in colors of the 514th Troop Carrier Wing.

Love this shot. Reminds of the Jumpmaster standing in the door position conducting pre-jump checks and scanning for the LZ (just not in the door, but would make a very authentic placeholder in front of the troop door). Another immediate buy for me. You guys are killing it with the last few releases, not that the previous one's were bad, but you keep raising the bar of excellence.
