  • 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.

Very nice.
Why do people often not post descriptions of their images on this Forum?
Would be nice to see what sim, and whether the scenery is enhanced add-on or standard, and the location detail where relevant.
For example, what Carrier is it; does the flight deck crew come with the ship, or the aircraft; is the Carrier inbuilt or add-on, etc
Thanks for reading, Mike

The carrier (actually many of them around the world -- some static and some moving) is from the Miltech Supercarrier Pro addon. It is well worth the money. The carriers have excellent systems and detail. You can even start in the hangar deck (with a teleport feature), taxi to the elevators, ride up to the flight deck, taxi to a catapult, and launch (with deck crew animations). It's loads of fun.

The first shot is the carrier in the Gulf of Alaska, the second shot is on the route to Anchorage, the third shot is the carrier just north of Key West, Florida, and the last shot is over the Wasatch Mountains just south of Salt Lake City (default scenery).

I agree that some captioning would be nice in this thread. I'll try and remember to do it from now on.
 
Picked up a late taxi charter out of St. Pete heading to Nassau.

I've always loved the late sun remnants at altitude!


On Final to Nassau.
 
OK - why has Flickr decided to not allow 4K shares???

Edit - apparently that's only available to "Pro" members now. I guess I'm off to find another host...
 
Flickr has a limit too, but it's large. But it's their recent change to allowing only paid members to share hi-rez that irks me.
 
Hey, collensr, I was just two Air Force bases north of you (counting Nellis).

Inspired by Priller's post above, I recently purchased the very nice Shrike F-86F. Here's its maiden flight (in my WIP custom colors) from Hill AFB, over the Great Salt Lake and the Bonneville Salt Flats, to Wendover,
