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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Have you tried other boats and not had the issue?
Edit:I just did a few laps on the Ranger. I cannot replicate this issue. I have my crash tolerance set to about 65-70%. What is your crash tolerance set to?

How many ping-pong balls are enclosed inside the deck to make it float ?????

I would try to set it down just a bit. 100% seems a little overly realistic when it comes to carrier landings and ops. The undercarriages of Naval aircraft are lot more sturdy than it leads you to believe in the sim.
Nice start! I wish someone would take up making an entire Essex class. The Oriskany is top notch and I love it. BUT I wish that there were more ships represented in the class. Like the USS Lexington, Shangri La, and others.
Will follow your advice Warren. Like Cees, I have always had it and the other settings "full right" and think I suffer too many trap crashes than I deserve! Switching crash detection off completely on the other hand takes too much of the suspense and excitement of a safe landing . .

There is a small set of straight deck Essex class originally by Collin G., and modded for FSX by Lazarus. The Valley Forge and Boxer are in the Library and you can change textures and numbers to get both WWII and Korea boats of your choice - there are more textures at CG's Shipyard's for this.
Had hoped one could morph Gary's O-boat into other angle deck Essex class CV's with just texture changes but he said the hull numbers are baked into the model. Would welcome some of the SEA angle decked veterans like Intrepid, Hancock, Bonnie Dick and Shangri La that saw action before they were decomissioned.

I have taken quite a few older CFS2 models and converted them to carriers in FSX for my own personal use.
I am talking the SCB-125 upgraded versions of the Essex class.
