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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Probably something that could happen, given the remote control technology in use today Ed.
Having said that, any Situational Awareness that drivers have today (despite their limited visibility) will vanish.
In reality, as Madame Wombat pointed out, even if a driver's helmet were fixed in place and the cockpit enclosed, the Impact Forces would still cause exactly the same catastrophic brain trauma as suffered by Bianchi.
That highly vulnerable mass which controls us humans is just floating inside a solid shell, the whiplash effect jist bounces it around.
As Sofie reminded me, Senna was not killed by the suspension arm that penetrated his helmet, the PM report showed that he suffered massive fatal internal injuries before the rod delivered the coup de grace (her words BTW).
Briefly, his heart, lungs and other vital organs had been literally torn apart by the impact, in her Professional Opinion (and being 50% 'Italian') the 'penetration of the brain injury' was a convenient cause of death acceptable to the Italian Legal System, which thrives on Litigation.
Being a very pragmatic person, Sofie believes the only person responsible for Bainchi's acident is Bianchi, which I do rather agree with.
