  • 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.

I'm having almost as much fun taking screenshots as I am driving! :wiggle:

Like my tech guy said after this race:"Most sports use one ball, this sport takes two."

The Gymkhana is fun, but I'm no good at it though..
 
The first update is available which lets you buy additional cars through the Windows live marketplace; the Sierra RS500 is the first one IIRC. There will be special Colin McRae cars on sale, with proceeds going to charity.

Meanwhile I am slowly improving my gymkhana skills, I even managed to score over 250,000 points once. On some tracks I'm happy if I can get over 150,000 though.. The narrow radius donuts and spins are the hardest parts for me.

i just gave up on the gymkhana stuff, lowered the difficultaty to easy, i just wanna rally! :mixedsmi:
 
Agreed Stiz, the rally(cross) parts are the best and bring back memories of the old CmR series, but IMHO the stages are a bit too open and too fast. I like 'em narrow and more technical.
 
The Sierra RS500 is available as a free add-on through MS Live Marketplace, and today a new car pack was announced. Maybe this will unlock the Stratos?

Meanwhile I've been driving around using my new videocard; Dx11 and full detail now! :wiggle:
