    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.

I just checked and the contrail color and brightness adjusts the same way the clouds do to different lighting conditions like sunrise, sunset, moonlight etc.
This should provide for some pretty dramatic screen captures once people have had time to add the effect to their aircraft.
 
The discussion thread on Cockpit lights inspired me to create a scenerysheet01.+nlight.dds with the widows of all the buildings lit with RGB - 224, 218, 150 to create this shot:

Having this many lights showing does not appear to have any measurable impact on the FPS.

That's a brilliant find Andy, most impressed! This also means that runway lighting should be attainable by adding such a texture to the airfields.

Any chance that you could post that file please?
 
just have to say

It is screen shots like the Manchester and P61 that keep me making planes. I know that there are fewer and fewer folks enjoying this old game, but I realized long ago, I do this because it puts a smile on my face - call it ego or what but darn, she does look good. Oh James see I actually put windows on her this time......
