Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Well,
In defense of F1...remember when drivers had to choose from the A, B, or C compound and make them last the entire race..:ques:

Yeah but...those tires were meant to run a full race distance. These modern tires intentionally degrade after 5 laps.

Under normal circumstances I'd rather stick pins into my eyeballs than agree with Herman but just this once he makes a really good point.
However, it is not Pirelli who are the problem, they construct the rubber to a specification, the problem [as always] is the bloody Poison Dwarf and his Show Business entourage.
Bunch of Bloody Muppets!!

True but the effect was still the same. If you pushed too hard early on, you'd have no tires left for the end.

I believe the main problem [aside from the Poison Dwarf] is the way the edge falls off the rubber.
It should be more progressive, allowing a driver a couple of laps to manage the stops, but as it stands they're good one minute and useless the next.
IMNSHO, it really should be three compounds only, Dry, Damp and Wet.
