    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.

Very Good

Great job, Klaus. I think I wrote once before but now that you have them just about complete I wanted to comment again. When I was aboard USS America, CVA-66 in the Tonkin Gulf in 1968 the USS Wright was also there. Our lookouts would report a target on the horizon and we would mark it unknown until it was visibly recognized. They more than once reported it as an aircraft carrier and as the surface picture supervisor the first time I informed them it couldn't be a carrier because I knew where all our carriers were. Then we would wonder about perhaps another country's carrier until finally we could visibly see its actual identity and mark it down as a Communications Ship.
 
Thank you very much Klaus. The levels of detail throughout your ships is simply amazing to me and almost beyond words. You've covered everything short of some sailor on deck screaming "Wilson!" lol
