  • 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.

FANGIO - Enjoy!

Skinny tires, a shift lever, a beautiful car and one of the worlds best drivers. Lots to like. Compare to modern day F1 speeds, tracks and dangerous obstacles it was no wonder we lost so many drivers back then.

Way back when (almost 20 years) I remember a racing game for the PC (which I couldn't play as I didn't have a computer). Don't remember the title but the tagline in the ad was "In 1968 rules were enacted in F1 to make racing safer. Welcome to 1967." Had a photo of an F1 car cresting a hill with all four tires in the air and it looked like it was an awful lot of fun! I feel lucky to live in Oshkosh with EAA and also less than an hour away from Road America where I can see these wonderful machines occasionally.

That game was Papyrus' "Grand Prix Legends"
I spent many hours playing it....:mixed-smiley-010:
 
Two of my favorites of all time, the Maserati 250F and the immortal Fangio.
:applause:
Quite some time ago I paid around A$10:00 each for three CDs, 'Fangio', Pikes Peak 'Cloud Dance' and 'Rendezvous', which was expensive at the time but so worth it!
Nice reminder Ed.
 
Have a close look at the long shot around 2.10 on the video, a perfectly executed drift. Brilliant. :biggrin-new:

I wonder if it will work on today's machines or if GOG Galaxy will bring it out? I would like to try it! ( I would also like to have Aces High, MiG Alley again. That was my first flight sim.)
