  • 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.

They did also:

"FLASH SALE THIS FRIDAY AUGUST 26TH! (24 hours only). This is your chance to grab any of our aircraft you've been eyeing, for 30% off!"
 
Hmmm... as far as the abbreviation goes (no one is likely to write down Blackbird Simulations all the time..) i hope they carefully thought this over...

Btw, the image doesn't depict a blackbird but a crow.. ( wonder if this all has been betatested sufficiently. Seems like a rush out the door job to me.. :teapot: )

BBS anyone? I think Blackbird is a generic name. There are many "black" birds, the Crow being one.

Milviz has been moving from strictly military aircraft for sometime. The name Milviz or Military Visualizations will still be the name of the commercial/military side of the business.

Btw, personally i have never heard a crow being called a 'blackbird' . Sure, maybe by people who can't even distinguish a seagul from a sparrow.. (like people who are being asked what kind of computer they have and then answer with "a black one" ..:teapot: )

Milviz is a good short, catchy name, no need to abbreviate. And most of all very well known, established and stable. "Never change the name of a winning team"...
 
All the Milviz's/BBS's available on the MSFS Marketplace (including the C310) are also on sale.
