  • 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.

Agreed, Actually no reason that Trackir or VR couldn't be used. I have a lot of freeware airplanes that have nothing more than eye-candy once I look away from the main panel. . . . .components on the side consoles are nothing more than nice art. . .doesn't concern me at all. If I can view 60 to 70 degrees from center that's plenty.

Sorry Tommy the VR comment wasnt meant for you forgot to put a To All: on the VR part. Your initial comment is almost word for word what the boys here at AH were saying. :encouragement:

To all

I dont know about VR Personally I wouldnt like to be whipping around 70 degrees and suddenly see absolutely nothing. That would drop me out of the immersion pretty quickly.

We have made a locked off camera view. It is in the CFG and you can disable it but it perfectly mirrors what a 2d panel used to do, the older simmers will know what this was. But since the Sim defaults to the VC if you dont want to use it then you never need to. and of course you can delete it if you want.

I think it is a brilliant concept, and I will most certainly try the Pucara.
In the past I have actually deleted aircraft because they would not start with ctrlE, just saying...

Couldn't agree with you more.

And in these times of soaring prices for addon aircraft, this price range is a good idea. Especially since this hobby has a large user base on a fixed income/pension.

I think this initiative is very commendable!

It is a really good idea and one I certainly welcome.
Like Jan I've several brilliant subjects that are either too hard start or take more starting time than flying time.
While I certainly acknowledge the depth and detail of certain subjects available, to a simple suck like me, I just want to go flying.
Looking forward to the upcoming projects Baz!
