    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.

'Le Mans 1970'.

Downloaded and installed, now to decide which car I'm going to drive first..!
The 512M, 312P, Matra 650, GT40, Porsche 908, 910, 914, 911 or even the mighty 917...? :jump:
 
The JW Porsche 908/3!!!!
:applause:
A little dissapointed to be honest, the handling idiosyncracies of the cars is too exagerated (the 911s are just way off!) and the modelling is a mixed bag, but it's worth the D/L and some tweaking.

Slightly disappointed here as well, but you have to keep in mind this is a conversion of an old mod for one of the EA F1 sims that were released in 2000-2002. The sounds are great, and the number of different cars is amazing (But where did that Chapperal go?) . The cars are as fragile as the real things were, but like you said Wombat, the physics might need some tweaking. I tried the 917K at Le Mans 1970 and the car just lifted off over the hump at the end of the Mulsanne straight!

The Ferrari 312P was a lot of fun to drift around the Toban GP track, and the Healey wasn't bad around the long 'Brianza' track. By default the cars seem to understeer a lot though. The AI seemed to struggle with the hairpin at the end of the Le Mans straight, all of them running off the track there. The 908/3 is a nice addition compared to the previous versions of this mod, and others like the Alfa 33/3 and Matra M605 are still very much favourites of mine. Hearing that Matra V12 howl brings me right back to the days of GP Legends.
