    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.

X-Cub Perf. Mod v1.5 Ghost Fuel Tank

I was doing a flight in the X-Cub with the v1.5 performance mod, and pulled up my fuel to see if I needed to switch tanks. What I found is attached.

Needless to say, I was a little curious as to what the heck was going on. So after I landed, I opened up the flight model cfg file in both the stock package and the mod, and sure enough, there was a third tank with coordinates that would have put 25 gallons of fuel right in the passenger’s lap. I double-checked the Carbon Crafters sales configuration page, and there is no option for a third tank. I then copied the parameters from all the other unused tanks in the cfg file and applied them to the Left Aux line, checked the sim, and all is well again. While I was there, I also increased the steering angle from 30° to 70°, which will make ground maneuvering MUCH nicer.

I just re-read their page, and they state that it's a bladder tank to extend the range. Maybe I'm wrong, but unless I see it on the Cub Crafters page as an option and the tank selector gets modified, I'm sticking with two tanks. Version 1.6.6 still has it.
