  • 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.

Thank you for that, Ted! I was wondering what the specific name of that device was. Boy, would that be a helpful tool to have! I had remembered one of the development team members mentioning that they completely scanned each of the real cockpits of the aircraft they have modeled in the sim, allowing them to bring a new level of accuracy in these new flight sim aircraft.

Yeah, although I truly doubt many developers would be able to afford a $27k Euro '3d scanner' for their own projects. I've heard though that there are places that will rent them, but have no idea what the cost might be. :dizzy:
 
Yeah, the price point of course is way over the top (I'd be lucky to ever make that amount selling an addon aircraft anyway), but I wouldn't mind borrowing it just for a day, to run over to my local airport and scan the cockpit/interior of the B-25 based there. :)

Sometimes you can rent equipment like that.
