    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.

'Red Bull Car Illegal?'

Like the other teams, I'd really like to know how they do it.
Watching the RBR car, it rubs the plank in practice, in qualifying, in the race, almost irrespective of fuel load...
 
But Wombat, surely you agree: If anyone can make it work within the rules it has to be Adrian Newey..

:d

Exactly my thoughts Ferry.
The 'Muppets' are all that other lot who are complaining.:173go1:
I could care less if it's legal or not, a 'mechanical' solution beats an 'aero' tweak anytime for me.:applause:
 
One of the options suggested is a 'ratchet' build into the suspension. The team set up the car for the race (Which needs to be done before qualifying), let the FIA inspect it with the amount of fuel in it required to finish the race. Once they take the fuel out for qualifying the ratchet keeps the ride height where it was with a full fuel load. So no mechanically or manually adjusting ride height after qualifying or during the race, which would obviously be illegal.
All speculation though!
