    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.

I wanted to do a flight from Duluth today, home of Cirrus Aviation, but there was solid overcast. Fortunately, though, the cloud deck only reached to just above 7,000 ft, so I went ahead with the flight anyway and here are some screenshots. One of the things I really enjoy about this sim is flying up through overcast, where it starts off so dark and moody underneath, but as you climb through the clouds it starts getting brighter as you near the tops, and then suddenly as you break through the clouds everything becomes so bright and vibrant.

Great series there John! It's quite amazing and impressive just how authentic everything is arrayed in this sim.
 
Also, I didn't think I would enjoy point A to B flying as much since doing a lot of combat simming for the last few years. But, I was wrong. You can really go exploring in this sim.
 
Thank you Rick. Yes, with this sim, unlike any other, A to B flights are no longer just about where you takeoff from and where you're going, and are almost all about what you're going to see on the way.

Just to add a bit more to this thread, here are some additional screenshots I took of the SR22 last night, near Portland, OR.
