    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.

Gordon, I'm going to give you 4.99 out of 5 stars for your efforts on both of these models.
Can't let you get a swelled head from 5 out of 5. :) :redfire:

As this was the first time I've tackled an aircraft conversion, I'll be quite pleased and honored with the score. Thank you sir. :very_drunk:
 
GMAN,

Excellent work on this! One question - now that I (and assume many others) use Fire Fighter X for simulating fire fighting, the retardant drop gage that comes with this is no longer necessary, and I'm actually wondering if it will conflict with Fire Fighter X as both try to simulate weight changes during retardant drops.

Does someone know the best way to disable the gage? If I just comment it out of the panel cfg, will that stop it from operating completely, or could it still be doing something in the background?

Thanks!
