    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.

This looks interesting (moving ships w/helipads)

To my mind it seems there is no technical obstacle to GAIST ships having landable decks... it is more a question of resource, in terms of available time and effort on the part of the fantastic volunteers who contribute to it.
 
Henrik has said that he plans to add landable ships to GAIST in the future. Just a matter of available time... One guy and hundreds of ship models.
 
I couldn't find them out of San Diego!
Even V2 uploaded shortly after didn't seem to fix it?
 
Regarding wave and wake effects for ships, I am the one who sent Henrik my work on this subject when I had worked on the Calypso (the boat released in August 2021).
As for landable surfaces on boats, I have some ideas to achieve this but I haven’t had the time to put them into practice yet. I plan to try to do these tests on a French aircraft carrier like the Foch or the Clemenceau (I have very good friends at the RFN).
Then, it will take a lot of work to apply these findings to all the boats that are part of this traffic and that are eligible for this function.

Thanks for your work on those RFN boats. I miss the RFN Crusader and the associated carriers the most in my transition from P3D to MSFS. Having any of those jewels in this sim would be a dream come true.
