    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.

SKUNK WORKS Introduces the "vACMI Partner"

GENERALITY
Mission planning and execution of simulated attack sorties is most realistic if the target positions are changed from flight to flight. For example an airfield with dispersed aircraft on the ground is a better target if the aircraft’s position is changed from day to day. This is difficult if fixed scenery files are used.

vACMI Partner is a tool that positions targets on demand by using vACMI target files. It also helps to make those target files (.tgt) and navigation files such as (.ln3) and (.rde) files. Thus different specific targets can be placed at different times by using the vACMI.tgt file.

The first step is to make a .kml file with Google Earth that contains all desired waypoints and target locations; this is then used by the vACMI Partner to make vACMI specific files in an easy way.

For instance the user may want to make a file for a single target containing various target objects. After having populated a .kml file, vACMI Partner helps to make the target file. vaCMI can then make a dynamic scenery of the target itself.

Alternatively the user may want to have up to 6 targets on a single .tgt file. The selected targets are used by vACMI to manage A/G weapons, assessing CEP and to guide smart weapons such as GBU12 and AGM88 to the ground targets.

Starting from a .kml file vACMI Partner can handle vACMI target files, (.tgt), F-104/AV8B INS files (.ln3) and PA200 navigation system files (.rde)

It also can handle directly above files, it can preview and save data to .tgt, .ln3 and .rde formats, editing of data can be done in an easy way before saving data in above formats.
