    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.

FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

Robin translated the manuals for the Tuploev ANT-6 from Russian to Englsih. Three versions of this aircraft has recently released at Avsim.su. I guess that nobody has donwloaded thes planes or use them i a approbriated environment. Therefore I show it here, landing on Rudolf Island, far up of the Arctic Circle:

What is special about this situation is that the static objects (flag and drums) do not slide away, as is otherwise common with FS9 in these latitudes.

I don't know whether anyone has noted yet, but Avsimrus.com and avsim.su are out of the air. I think for more than a week already.

So Bernard, take good care of your Tupolev as you can't download a new one when you break this one.

Don't you just love it when a (long term) plan comes together? :wiggle:

I was reading about operations in the Gulf and HM-14 (Vanguards) were mentioned.
HM-14 is homeported in Norfolk but deploys everywhere.
They conduct anti-mine ops using the MH-53.
Didn't I have an MH-53 somewhere? :unsure:
Maybe I could even dig up some textures for HM-14 because Strait of Hormuz, mines, current events, that could be a thing. :geek:
As it turned out, I already have the Virtavia MH-53 installed. I even have textures for HM-14 and the Vanguard callsign.

:p

BTW, check out those skid marks outside the landing zone. A hornet just landed and there must be a pretty stiff cross wind. :ROFLMAO:

I wanted to verify that HM-14 still used the dark blue paint and things just went a little screwy. :dizzy:

According to this photo, HM-14 disbanded in 2022 and this was their final flight.
The paint looks like something closer to Dark Gunship Gray.
Oh well, close enough I guess?
I'm flying an F/A-18 Charlie off the USS Teddy Roosevelt, so I'll allow it.
