    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.

Couple of shots from AC

Guess we can final answer the question the guys from Top Gear never could: Which one is the fastest round a racing track?

The LaFerrari:



McLaren P1:



Or the 918?:

Complete opposites, but both fun to do in AC:




I have to ask the question Ferry.............where did you find the 507?
One of the most overlooked 'Modern Classics' and just a very pretty car.
The most frustrating part of AC is sorting the really good mods from the average ones.
:encouragement:
 
Alain Prost compared it to a truck and it cost him his job, but I had a blast driving his 643:







 
Shame it never went as well as it looked Ferry!
Could have been worse, if Prost had retained his position he would have found himself driving the appalling F92A!

:encouragement:

And a thought on AC, for what ever reason, they do make it difficult to get any support.
The number of hoops one must jump through to get to the right people on their 'Official' forum is a but much, or maybe that's just me.
 
I've finally got everything sorted except for the final tidying up on my new system, loaded up AC and have become really frustrated at the lack of decent skins for the GT40.
I've looked at several sites including that extremely annoying Facebook one (Bloody 'Deposit-files'!!) and the GT40 is subject some really ugly paints or some just plain boring ones.
Any ideas please Team?
:encouragement:
 
Sorry Wombat, I don't have any repaints for the GT40 installed.

Magnificent beasts and where to drive them:

935/78 at Spa:





962 at Vallelunga:



 
Thanks Ferry, I'll keep looking.
At least most of the 962 models have plenty of skins, even if a lot of them are 956 models IRL.
Be nice if someone could come up the BBS 'basket weave' rims, the factory cars look good with their Speediness but some of the privateers look a bit naff.
Hope the coming year is going to be less stressful for you two, auto-immune illness's are so very difficult to live with.
Regards, John L.

wombat, there is a Gt40 on this site for free download, that has a few racing schemes in it. One is the #6 from the '66 Lemans race, the Gulf one. It has a few more racing skins, just not familiar with them though. Worth a look I suppose, not may repaints for it that I could find. If you want to paint it yourself, (just the body) it comes with its own PSD file included. Just scroll down until you see it.
