  • 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.

Curious...

Also curious - this time about map data. If you spawn at KGSO and fire up the drone, then go straight up a hundred feet or so, you can see a red/white water tower off to the northwest. In the real world, there are roads including an interstate highway, that run around that tower that don't exist in the 2020 sim - see the roads in red in my attachment. But here's the strange part. If you take that drone out to the tower and watch the cars, they're there, driving on invisible roads. And in the case of the ramp from I73 West to 68 South, which is elevated, you'll see cars driving across the tops of the trees. I'd like to know if 2024 finally gets this section right, or if they're still using the same map data from 2020.
