  • 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 think it's known as Ground Hog Day???:biggrin-new:
BTW Paul, were you one of the PBI at Philip Island just over a week ago?
Hardy souls indeed.

Yes...1.2 right [Doohan Corner] ....I rated it 3rd worst ever....after the '92 Superbikes [13 hours of rain straight] and the 2002 Superbikes [when Corser canned the second heat]...;)

Racing a 737 to the runway. That buggar was fast, but once you get a 727 going, it will not stop and I enjoyed being first on the runway. Take that, Southwest (allegedly an airline employing race car drivers as pilots in reality)!

Lovely sunset departure afterward. Since I was flying the -100 series with the bog standard -7A engines and was rather high on the gross weight scale, the initial climbout went at a leisurely pace.

From the "nasty surprises" bin: MIT threw an engine fire at me while intercepting the glideslope. Still managned a 150 ft/min landing though, despite all the extra torque. Repairing the dead engine was five times more expensive than the net gain from the flight. *Grr*
 
AH B-17 somewhere over North Carolina.

Speaking of canards, I've been mucking about with one of Piglet's "specials".

Personal ride:

Cazzie did one based on a McLaren race car scheme, so I went with a Lotus in a JPS type scheme.

And a generic civil register type:

The process of doing several paints to sort out a Paint Kit for upload sometimes reveals quirks.....and here's a great one...

Fuse/wing root intersection pinches some graphics...but only on one side....from part of the wing.
Means I have to revise the paint to avoid the anomaly....;p

Resolved more details...so this rather 'unlikely' one works....it's just about the size of an Aircraft Carrier so it's not really going to be 'in the navy' anytime soon...;)
