    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.

Importance of livery in seing each others

Another kink in the MP of MSFS;


Again, this test was performed with the Airbus H135 but the basics would be the same for any a/c.

Short preliminary report on liveries during MP sorties:
1- All a/c using the same livery = all players seeing the same livery;
2- All a/c using d/l included liveries = will see other a/c in one "dominating" livery while individual player will see their choosen one.
3- All a/c using non-included liveries = will see other a/c as GA low-wing a/c (if textures not on your PC) or a/c with "dominating" livery (if you have the texture) and player will see their choosen one,
4- a/c with some other type a/c = the other type a/c will be seen if they are (model + texture) in your game hangar (community or official) but their liveries may be altered. Otherwise, you will see GA "fall-back to" a/c;
5- If you enter on a saved flight with one a/c, but with your main mount not being the same a/c, you will see other a/c in number 2 or 3 and the "dominant" liverie is anybody guess.

So far, "fall-back to" a/c have been Piper (which is not in my Hangar BTW) and Daher.

P.S.- If anyone is interested in trying this experiment with GA a/c and knows of a cozy place with plenty of lined-up parking space, just send me a pm.
