    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.

Update McCoy Water Effects Released

For those who who like to fly amphibians, flying boats and plain old floatplanes, Mr McCoy has released an updated version of his water effects package, this is version 4:

There are a few more choices with this package than the older version and a improved water sound file. I found the MED or medium effect seems to work best for large flying boats such as the Catalina, Martin Mariner etc. Although it did produce and interesting problem with the Aerosoft Catalina, namely artifact breakthrough (same as the flashing beacon problem in some models) of the spray into the cabin and hull, not sure why that is but it did not happen with the others. Either way once you get the right effect for the aeroplane you use it is great. The SM (small) seems best to my eye for the Beaver.
 
[EDIT] I just tested the effects in FSX Steam, and they do in fact work nicely on the default aircraft. Turns out the issue is with my Martin Mars. Still it's a nice upgrade......
