    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • 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.

@ ZoltB and Cmdr.Mugel: gentlemen, do you have the hotfix/update installed ? Can you shoot a screenshot of Tomcat on the tarmac/deck, canopy open but boardingstep/ladder retracted ? (one of the options from the hotfix but i fail to find it)

Nice screenies, guys ! :encouragement:

Thanks Kenneth. My machine is at the lower end of the scale as far as specs are concerned so I didn't think there was any chance it was going to be anything other than a slide show using those photo textures. To be honest I didn't think the textures I opted for where that bad ( a step up from vanilla FSX and XP11 for sure) but I figured I'd give them a try after you mentioned it. Wow! amazing... like discovering the Sim all over again and performance ok so far. I'm gonna delete all my previous screenshots so I can enjoy starting over.

That's fantastic... So happy for you. - Kenneth
 
In the grand scheme of things imho both the Spifire and Hunter are much more beautiful aeroplanes than the Holy Moly Tomcat... :playful:

Alright ! Thank you ! :encouragement: (i still have trouble getting along with that Jester menu. Although it is much better now that i deactivated cockpit tooltips which, regarding the Jester menu, did nothing else but flicker on and off. Really annoying )
