    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Underwater?

Looking at the description of the Academic version it states that it spans from deep underwater to space.

So where are the submarines? :D

Yes, you do have the ability (with the Bathymetry option) to go deep and explore the ocean floor with either the Submarine (Ohio Class) or the Neptune Submersible.
 
Hmm I only have the Neptune small submarine robot, but no Ohio class.... But I have the 2.4 only. Is that part of 2.5 ?

Anyways, if I remember correctly, only a very small place is actually modelled underwater by default, and there's nothing beautifull to see over there.
 
Yes it is!

Wow, I hadn't seen that sneak in there! I'm surprised LM didn't make more of a song-and-dance about it!

It's like Daube said, it's not like there's amazing things to explore and find on the bottom. Mostly I think there are a few missions that place you in a specific area so you can locate a sunken ship I believe, but to just take it into a Lake or into the Ocean somewhere. . .you won't see much.
 
As far as I gather there is only one "underwater" scenery area (mesh bathymetry ) and one driveable sub in the default sim. Have not tried it yet though due to lack of interest.

Cheers,
Mark
