  • 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.

    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.

Oh wow, that refueling screenshot brings back memories. I was fortunate to take a press flight on a KC-135 out of RAF Mildenhall in 1983. I got to see what this screenshot depicts, as we refueled five or six German F-4F's on their way to Goose Bay. Back then I was using slide film, and many shots were over-exposed. How I wish I had been using today's digital cameras! Several years later, I met one of the F-4F pilots at the London airshow (London, Ontario, Canada). He later confirmed that my KC-135 had filled up his F-4. He sent pictures of the event. How cool to see it from the other side, knowing I was in the tanker at the time! By the way, he was flying Tornadoes regularly but still preferred the Phantom from a pilot's perspective.

And now, I need to try to do what you did here. Flight control replay? - And which tanker model? Great screenshot...

I would happily share one of my actual pictures here if the admins allow it (since not simulated!)..

Hi Kenneth,

this shot was simply done. Used Flight Control Replay to display my repaints in formation, flying at 28.000 ft with overcast real weather. Left is F-4F GAF 37+26 , middle is SEA F-4E Spangdahlem 71-1079 and right is RS European One wraparound 69-0264. The KC-135 boom was real photo and I put it on screen with photopaint.
