    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.

Modifying night missions

I cant see hardly anything in night missions with my monitor brightness fully up. How do I change the mission to day time in ETO. I remember doing it a few years back but I've forgotten.

Also is there anyway of switching theater era in ETO without coming out of the game

One trick is to turn off the room lighting and shut the curtains, it really helps ....but the family and neighbours might think you're mad!
 
Ok that's refreshed my memory, thanks. I only use my PC during the day but have the curtains drawn. Are carrots any good for memory ?
 
I have successfully changed some of the missions in ETO to daytime, I opened the xml file in notepad and changed the time. But with one or two when I click the briefing, wont run and a box comes up Runtime error R6026 pure virtual function call. I modified missions in the main missions folder as well as those in missions 1936, 1943 and 1945 folders.
 
The missions that wont run above are the Ulster Missions in the BOB theatre. When I click the briefing the game freezes. I have checked the time that I have changed and I think I have done it right. Any ideas.
