  • 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.

Screenshots

Did a run from Greensboro to Indinapolis KEYE to pick up some track exec's to head back down to Concord to meet with some race team staff members. Took it up to FL300 - rare air for a twin prop, but the King handled himself well. We even laid down some contrails - first time for me doing that in something that wasn't pure hairdyer.


Lucas Oil Stadium looks to be well-represented in the sim...


Landing at Eagle Creek means lower landing fees and less traffic for my clients to deal with. We'll head back tomorrow...

Nice F27, shame it is the rather obscure -500 stretched model rather than the more common earlier models:

Thanks Stéph. The scenery is something I'm building in Blender using Developer mode, trying to build up a deserted RCAF base I found in a field near my home of Hagersville ON. It would have been former RCAF Station No.16 S.F.T.S. The dual-hangars are my first attempt with Blender making a model, from a box. It's heady stuff. I'm trying to learn about LODs right now. They look fantastic, but too many polygons, and draw calls etc. etc. There is still much to figure out.

And, I think I finally got my two monitors lined up pretty close. The sim is nearly impossible to make seamless in screen shots. So I had to try and fix it of course, took forever. These sweet screenshots were the result of a lot of trial and error in "Experimental" mode. Mental being the operative word there...
Also, Bomber_12th inspired me to experiment with weather and lighting.
