    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 had it for a short while until I hangared it because the panel was the same in every loadout. Spray controls on a passenger plane???
 
For me it's a serious immersion breaker. For instance, the Black Square Caravan series omits the smoking and seatbelt lights and switches in the cargo models. Sometimes it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference for me.
 
The fact that I’m sitting in an office chair controlling a plane with no sense of movement and no danger of death, using a HOTAS system connected by USB to a too-expensive PC and looking at big old monitor is enough to make me forgiving of little details like that. It’s not like “OMG, I thought I was in a real plane till I noticed those switches!” :)
 
It seems to me that we all are a little whacky for indulging in flight simming in the first place, hehe :)
I am also accused of being an ADHD / ADD case, but since I would not take overly offence regarding some 3rd level switches I now have a good example to counter the accusations.
Deal breakers for me are flight model problems or serious AC system errors. And crappy textures inside and out.
