  • 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.

The wake is fine on Ark Royal. Not noticed it off-centre before.

You get more of an off-centre effect on conventional carriers with angled flight decks. There's always a temptation to fly down the wake which is the wrong place to be!:biggrin-new:

No such problem with Ark V;)

To be fair in the case of the I class you are supposed to fly parallel to the wake on approach, its just that when you get alongside you find the ship is sailing a few degrees off to port from the direction she is pointing.
 
One of the numerous Air Shows in the 80s. Small airfields those days invite attractive guests, also military as for example static (Chinook) or flying displays (Harrier).

 
Sorry, just a few more while drying my tears of memories....

Dave, this is ETSB Hahnweide in southern germany, a small glider airfield nearby Stuttgart. As usual, lots of small airfields hosted airshows once a year. Mostly helicopters - and for sure - the Harrier, because of the way to use short or no runways.
I added some library objects and a few models of the coming RAF Gutersloh scenery to get an Air Show feeling.
It's fun to fly at small Air Shows, because you have no complicate starting procedures, short distances to fly and you can do flights with lots of different aircraft and helicopters...
 
Having a bit of fun messing with a B29...
