    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.

Powerlines free addon and collisions

Daube

Hi all,

As most of you might know by now, there is an excellent, highly recommended freeware addon that adds a big part of all the electric pylons in Europe, and also visible powerlines between pylons, like in XP11 for example.
These lines are built in from OpenStreetMap data if I'm not mistaken, so they are pretty accurate.

However, for some reason with many planes (including the DC Design F15 or the default F-18), I can't fly under these lines without crashing into an invisible object. This includes flying in a valley/canyon with the powerline passing like 100m above my plane.
The author of the addon has added collision boxes to these lines, and said the collision box of the aircraft might be too big and collide with the ones of the lines.
Do you also have similar experience ?
