    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.

No external tanks on CS C-130s in FSX

I haven't flown this bird in FSX for a while but recently I downloaded and installed the new fictional NASA texture for the CS C-130, installing it through the ACE utility in the CS folder in FSX. For some reason the ACE utility will show the aircraft as having external tanks, and will allow a configuration of the aircraft as in FS9, but the external fuel tanks will not show in FSX. In addition, in the ACE utility there is no screen allowing adjustment of the aircraft's fuel load to allow different payloads. Has anyone else had this problem with this utility or aircraft?

I don't have that particular paint, but my external tanks load up both for the "E" and "J" models and are visually present. However, I no longer have a fuel management screen in the ACE. I have to adjust fuel through the FSX fuel manager as the initial fuel load is 100% all tanks.
