    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.

VS Stearman Panel Lights

Just got the VS PT17 Stearman today and I am a little confused about the panel lights.

What does the volumertic cockpit light switch do? My guess it is a rheostat control that raises/lowers brightness of lights in gauges
Item #16: Not sure I have located it as per illustration.

The map light seems to cast direct beam on some of the gauges, is that the only way to brighten the gauge lights?

Yes Sir, What you see in your picture is the Cockpit lighting for the VS Model. If you click on the light itself.... it is dim, bright or Off and you can move it around slightly
