  • 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.

Happiness is..

Getting a hunch and then checking your old school San Diego/North Island scenery and finding that every bleeping texture is DXT1. :banghead:
I just finished converting my 50th texture to DXT3 and I'm not even 1/3rd finished. :dizzy:
 
S,
You do realise there are a lot of progs that will automate the conversion process for you ie good ol' ModelConverterX (8 16 or 24 bit) does batch image conversion, and Imagetool.org does it online et al.

Huub, Hag these posts made me smile, both very true..ha ha!

For me when something you've been working on finally looks just right in the sims.

Cheers

Even better, finding all of those DXT1 textures and converting them to DXT3 only to remember that I installed some weird scenery where the textures have to be DXT1. :dizzy:
No problem, I've had this scenery since I first installed FS2004 and I had an old back-up HD sitting near by. :p

LOL, this is something I've been meaning to fix. :unsure:
Many, many moons ago, I registered here as Bob S. Things came up, mostly I had some real world hassles to deal with and the old format of SOH was mostly geared towards CFS, so I wound up coming back years later and I couldn't log in. So, I re-applied as Sbob and the rest is history. :wiggle:

Now, do I really want to change it back? I don't mind using Sbob and it even made one joke better (".. and Sbob's your Uncle") so I'm not sure how much I want to bug you Mods about it. :LOL:
 
Ok so Bob's-you're-uncle it is.........;)

What's in a name, especially on forums!

B (if feeling lazy) or Bob it is then (y)

Cheers
