    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.

OT: Mutley Hanger previews DTG Flight School!

Cool. Honestly it looks like P3Dv2.5. Having flown v2.5 for more than a year I would say of only shown the screenshots that it was v2.5. Visually they look very much the same. Seriously. Curious about performance boost and what 1000xfsx means exactly? The trees are a huge difference though. They look much better...maybe it's my monitor though. They look like the trees from "Birds of Prey" which were amazingly done.
 
I think it's safe to say that the rebirth of FS is finally upon us. When the full version of DFS is out (hopefully later this year), I am looking very much forward to being able to fly long range flights with any level of scenery without worry of VAS limits & OOM's. Most of my initial aircraft migration/purchase plans will likely involve high end tubeliners and other high end long range aircraft but hopefully, many of the current crop of FSX/P3D models will find a home in the new sim in due time. I will most likely keep FSX for a while to run some of my aircraft which I do not fly on long flights with (fighters, carrier ops, etc) as well as some aircraft which I will still use that will not likely be ported to to DFS/64bit.
