    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.

Does the Il-62 have a cloaking device?!.

Hello all. I have a graphics quandary. I just installed Project Tupolev's Il-62 that I had been watching progress for a few years. I run my VC on a 60" monitor with a 35" off to the side for external and tower views. The problem I have is that while the exterior of the plane displays fine in any external view when you are close in, it disappears at about what would be a quarter mile in real life except for lights and smoke and then reappears when you go back close to the tower. (The VC remains fine and funtional.) Is there a setting for distance where the textures will render? My other planes have always done the same thing but at better than ten miles from the tower when they're barely a speck anyway.
