    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.

Screenshots

I wish that I could delete it from here to save any further issues, but unfortunately I cannot.

Admins can you delete #4857?
 
Noddy, your screenshot work is superb by all means.

I personally am deeply disappointed because of so many military aircraft meanwhile which are designed obviously only to make money. Military jets are military jets, part of the real world, basta. Just to get them sold with Microsoft's absolution is just a no go to me.
Really looking forward to all upcoming fighters which will be designed seriously as real jets. With weapons and with correct measurements I hope.
Dino is an expert meanwhile for example :applause:

With regard to the FlyingIron Bf 109G-6 in development, with those most recent screenshots showing the modern military pilot - the pilot model looks to be scaled too small. In every modern Bf 109 and Buchon pilot report I've read, going back to the 80s and 90s, the pilot always states that you cannot fly one with a "bone dome" helmet, as you'll be constantly hitting the canopy (especially the top of your head). That is why you will never see a pilot flying one, even today, with a modern military helmet on, simply because it would be so restricting and uncomfortable. The closest I've seen is a Campbell helmet (leather-wrapped hard shell), but you mostly only see pilots flying them today with a basic cloth or leather helmet, or no helmet at all (the pilot of the Erickson Aircraft Collection Bf 109G-10 always just wears a hat and earphones).
 
I wish i already had it but J.Case is right , it is a preview.
I was watching this docu on the History Channel last night called : History's greatest aircraft.
The episode was about the 109 and they also said that the cockpit was very cramped and i think it was Gunther Rall who said that he bumped his head many times.
Visibility was also very crappy.
 
Some shots from today...


First was a little testing, both of the rig and the Porter. I wanted to get more familiar with the older style AP and do some heavy weather benchmarking of sorts with the DLSS 3.1.11 file I just dropped into the sim. Everything seems to be working smoothly. CPU and GPU both working hard, buy staying cool. By all rights, this should have been filed IFR, but what the heck... Inboud KGSO 5R in real weather.

Next two are from a favorite run - Domnicci to Princess Julianna. This time I maxed out the cargo to 2000#. I kept the cruise climb back to only 500'/m to maintain airspeed, but it still reached 12,000' with no issues. First shot is heading up and out, last is waiting to be unloaded.
