    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.

Captainsim 767

Captainsim has removed the paintkit for their 767-300 and say its the freeware livery designers own fault.
Their explaination is :

[FONT=&quot]1. ALL of them use a model hack which:
– Damages the exterior nose section (the ugly cockpit roof bumps appears, broken pilots’ windows area, missing windshield glass and frames).
– FPS drop 30-50% guaranteed.
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]2. Most of them are made from outdated P3D 4K liveries which gives you four times less detalization compared to official CS 8K liveries.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3. Some of them painted over official CS 8K liveries compressed dds files which gives you very questionable quality.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4. Most of the so called 8K free liveries are in fact a stretched older 4K which just wastes your PC resources providing zero visual improvement.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5. Most of them use the wrong engine type (PW for GE) and/or door layout.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6. Most of them have technical and factual errors (wrong colors, logos, missing items, layouts, reg numbers, antennas, winglets, you name it).[/FONT]

imho that the most ridiculous thing i ever heard.
How can you say such things if you deliver a 767 with 747 avionics ?
 
What an absolute joke Captainsim has become. I don't know what's more embarrassing though, their outright disdain for their own community and customers or the people who defend them and continue to support them. FSLabs is still in business though, so I guess it's not really surprising.
 
They were once a good company, no more. Not going to bash, just not going to give them my cash anymore.
