  • 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.

Nice update Ian, thanks.

I have flown round Red and Shivering Sands towers on a few times (I'll dig out the pics), also out to Sealand (but out of range of their AA defenses! lol).

The towers are suffering a huge amount of steel reinforced concrete rot, lots of rusticles, with a thick coating of sea bird sh*t on top! So the new tex looks better than they really are, but I know you've done them as in WWII use.

We would fly from Essex, and from Southend (old RAF Rochford) airport, which is a little closer to most of them than Manston. Mind you I have always used Ian's RAF Manston in Fs9 or CFS2 a lot, all versions are good.

Also Gray-Eagle unfortunately you won't see them on Google Maps, they now use a generic sea tex instead of photo tiles in a lot of areas, which is a shame.

Cheers
