    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.

Something fishy with my install?

Hello

I just did a complete reinstall of the game since there were some odd things occuring that I believed might stem from me having a Swedish OS. So this time I had switched to English (US) when I installed and also when running the game, every time. I uninstalled via Control Panel/Uninstall program. I'm using Vista 32-bit Swedish with Pack 1.

First campaign flight was with Jasta 5 on March 6 1917 where we fell upon eight Pups of RNAS 3 with our flight of five. We got 4 of them and all my wingmen were shot down, though none of them was declared injured, missing or killed afterwards. In the middle of it a flight from RFC 48 entered the fight. Problem was, they were flying Camels. I don't think Camels should be available to anyone in March and certainly not to 48 since they are a Brisfit squadron. There is a slight possibility that it wasn't 48 though, I didn't take notes.

This kind of thing has happened several times before where I've run into Camels in March. Also, it might (I have no clue) affect wingmen status? I believe the issue might be with the dates, since in Swedish we write 6/3 for sixth of March.
I am, however at a loss at how to correct this issue. Could it be that since I did not manually remove all files in the OFF folder, this issue survived the reinstall? Any suggestions welcomed!
 
The Camel general became available in front line service about June 1917. I know that in P2 planes sometimes showed up early and I'm sure there may be some of that still lingering in P3. I'm pretty sure OBD is still working on data base issues and these kind of things may well get cleared up in the next update.

Also please note that in OFF dates are always Day/Month/Year.

That's the way it runs in America, still can't get used to the British way, ie . . 26/2/09 :wavey:

Yeah in V1.26/V1.3 all dates are now formatted as: 26 February 1916.... to avoid confusion!
