    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.

Is there something I can change in the .cfg files of downloaded liveries to make them appear first in the list?

Easiest way is just to swap the Pictures in Livery ( if they have the same names ) , or fiddle with their numbers .... should work .

Yes there is:

In the aircraft.cfg for each livery, search for the "ui_manufacturer =" line and add an asterisk after the = like this:

Default aircraft Before:

ui_manufacturer = "TT:AIRCRAFT.UI_MANUFACTURER" ; e.g. Boeing, Cessna

Default aircraft After:

ui_manufacturer = *"TT:AIRCRAFT.UI_MANUFACTURER" ; e.g. Boeing, Cessna

Add-on or Modded aircraft Before:

ui_manufacturer = "Diamond Aircraft" ; e.g. Boeing, Cessna

Add-on or Modded aircraft After:

ui_manufacturer = *"Diamond Aircraft" ; e.g. Boeing, Cessna

Thanks! I'll give that a try. It'll be nice not to have to search for my favorite paintjobs every time.
