    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.

He're a shot showing the environmental reflections created by AnKor's development shaders we're testing. There are clouds and sky reflected off the tail and you can see a stripe of the ocean along the side. The sea surface is reflecting the visible clouds now as well.

A static shot does not do this justice as the dynamic changes in the reflections as you turn and bank are really quite mesmerizing to watch.

Albatross D Va (200), Jasta 71, 1918 near Calais
OFF BHAH with SweetFX and AnKor's shaders.

Every time I see a shot of an update for these shaders it looks outstanding!

There is a lot of subtlety in the shading now. Look closely at the shading of the parts of the Defiant that are in shadow and see that they are dimly reflecting ambient light, which intensifies as the viewing angle becomes more acute. They look great live as they change as the aircraft maneuvers. Then get a look at the B-24, showing the reflections of the actual clouds, scenery, and water the aircraft surfaces are facing same as in Andy's shots of the Albatross and P-38. So much going on in each shot, Ankor is really making our sim beautiful.

I've been fine tuning my sky textures and weather xmls to optimize how the look with AnKor's latest test shaders.
