    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Nellis to Hill AFB

Decided to take a flight from Nellis to Hill AFB. Met up with a B-58 for about 60 miles and then headed off to Hill. Nellis to Hill is ~300nm. Nellis is just outside Las Vegas NV for those who don't know...(I don't know that there are many here who don't!). Hill AFB is NE of Nellis just north of Salt Lake City UT in a city called Ogden if you're wondering.

~50 miles from Salt Lake valley I'm picking up an IFR flight plan to Hill AFB... Beautiful day though! Love the SW USA....I was also reminded how crappy the ATC is in FS/P3Dv3.23. If there's one thing that could be improved upon and that I would PAY $$$ for, is an all new ATC system. With real voices, and good commands. The crazy directions are enough to make you nuts...I was changing freqs literally every 10 secs during the vectors to the FAP. And changing altitudes up and down, up and down about as much. It was insane. Completely unrealistic and very annoying...real IFR flying is much much easier I must say!

Landing at Hill AFB UT. Home of the First F-16A Squadron and I believe the first F-35A squadron of the USAF (other than training).

Great Screens Rick :encouragement: ATC .. yeah ! I followed instruction a couple times with ATC they sent me miles out from the airport (only landing in Christchurch) then when finally I followed the let down and given permission to land No.1 here was another aircraft directly in front of me and had to go around.
 
Yeah, ATC in FSX sucks...plain and simple. In fact, seems like there would be an E-NOR-MOUS market for this...I'm frankly stunned that the one piece of absolute trash in FSX has never been taken on my any 3rd party dev. Is there really no way to high-jack the ATC system via simconnect and inject a completely new system? I would trade my weather textures (not weather engine) for better ATC....seriously. But I think we could have both honestly.
 
That smoke looks mighty dark there Rick, you may want to have your piston rings and valves checked.
