    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.

the $10 holiday sale yielded the nice b52 buff and the high-quality tristar. buff's vc mod's out of the way so here comes the tristar vc mod.

main change was to improve the night lighting in the VC as the flood lighting effect was too bright for use at night.

Textures edited:1) VC flood lights toned down so as to not be blinding
2) Gauge surrouds is black
3) enhanced color saturation of gauge limit arcs
4) guage glass with purple tint to resemble anti-reflective coating
6) external model glass tint darkened a shade or two
7) tire contact surface lighter gray

should appear in the lib soon.
 
Nice work. I picked up the CS 777 in the sale and enjoying it but there is something terribly wrong with the night lighting. Others have posted the same complaint on their forum but no one has an answer. Don't know if you have that aircraft and could have a look.
