Just wanted to drop a quick note to all while I can. Seems we've been having some rather serios name resolution issues the last 4-5 days and a lot of us (me included) have not been able to hit the site. This has been due to several issues such as a massive DOS attack on my host's network, as well as a few other things. I've had some rather serious discussions with my provider today and if things do not turn around in the next few days we will be in for a move soon. I apologize to all for the inconvenience, and hopefully things will settle out in the next few days. Please spread the word as I know people have been asking about what the hell's been going on... ;)

I'm DLing it now and we'll get it posted later tonight.

Unfortunately RL has got in the way the past week or so, but I hope to start working on it this week.

The file has been restored and is now available in the downloads. Thanks RareBear!

Guys, don't worry about it, we won't be shutting down the images, although we will probably not be running 200 images at a time. ;) Mudd, how about we do 10 or so picks a week and then we'll rotate them. That way people get their fix and we don't pass 80Gb in pic traffic in a month? As far as requests go, I also think we can handle that, and the staff can do it as time permits. It was not my intent to shut down the flow of new pics boys and girls, and I apologize if that's how it looked. But since there's so many sites doing pics now, we'll try to just put up stuff you haven't seen everywhere else. That way we don't waste bandwidth on images everyone else has seen 20 shots of already, and you get your weekly dose of LOMAC goodness.

Excellent work as usual Volks!

Just checked it out, the file is missing for some reason, and I can't seem to find it on the net. If anyone has this can they email me the file so I can get the download fixed?

I played it last night and was impressed. They messed with the interface just enough to make it better, the graphics are twice as detailed as the original. All in all based on the demo, I give it a :thumbup:

Sorry, you only get one per day... ;) I've ran several large community websites since, well since the web's been around. I used to run a VGA Planets host site for years, and at one point was the biggest VGAP site on the net. I've done a few smaller business sites as well, but I'm by no means a "professional". As you can tell by the sometimes rough edges on the current site. :D I currently use a open source CMS called Postnuke, although I am in the process of evaluating several other options at this point. I feel we are outgrowing Postnuke and it's just to limiting in regards to how I want to organise and display the content. My host is a great company called TurboWeb at www.turboweb.net. They have some great prices and have been really good to work with. I highly recommend them. The domain I purchased before I moved to Turboweb, but they do it all there. Damn, sounded like a commercial... None, it's all me, baby. Actually that's not true, Fates has helped out with some of our graphics needs like the top header logo and such. I've been lucky the last few months in gathering some great staff here so I can start focusing on the technical aspects of the site, while they help with the content. We've had some great new additions such as MrMudd and a few others that will be announced in the next week that will really add some depth to our content. Not to mention some great forum staff and my good buddy Fates helping out with whatever is needed. Sorry, got off track there for a minute. So to answer this one, I did the design and CMS install, but Turboweb will do a CMS and forum install as part of their package. What?! You have Biohaz, why would you need to do your own LOMAC site? ;) Seriously, if you have any other questions just feel free to ask.

Click on the image size you want in the gallery and the full-size image will load. Then just right click and save to desktop, well if you are using Windows that is. ;)

Moses, it's a great offer but the practicality of it wouldn't work well. I'm going to work on the bandwidth thing over the next few months as we start ramping up the site more, so it should be a non-issue soon. I do appreciate the offer however, thanks! :D

Mohawk time...

Demo was released today?! Gotta go grab it now... ;)

Alright guys, I can tell this baby's gonna degenerate, so let's move on, nothing more to see here...

Man, I really need to get that review posted. ;) Yes, it really is that much better. You won't go back to a hat switch once you get used to it. As for price, they run about $100, but it's worth every penny.

Snap, it's fully adjustable. You dont really have to turn your head much, and you can adjust it to your liking. I have mine set to a dead zone, then the farther I turn the faster it moves. It sounds weird, but is very intuitive.

Column5, you made my whole day... :D

Someone just informed me that our good buddy GT stated that I was in fact not banned from his site, and that no one has been banned. Hmm, I wonder what this means then... Yet more "truthful" statements from such an "honest" individual. But of course, I probably just doctored the image. You know, me being a thug and all... :roll: Galen, you always seem to bring a smile to my face, and I bet that REALLY annoys you, doesn't it. Anyway, I've made my point, I suppose we should get back to the real world.

BP, I didn't ask you to leave bud, just that while the first few times the joke was funny, it's starting to wear a little thin. Maybe I came off a little harsher then I meant too, if so I apologize. That's what I get for posting before my morning coffee... We are all more then a little discouraged with the patch situation. I for one have not touched the sim in months, and don't plan to until the patch comes out. And to be honest, I'm not sure if I will much after LOMAC comes out anyway. So I personally am not as dedicated to the game as some other members are. But I have plenty of people here that are dedicated and know full well the patch situation.

BP, thanks for letting us know when a month goes by. :roll: We are all disappointed in the delay, and while I don't mind people voicing their "displeasure" in the patch delay, your comments don't add anything to the discussion. Basically, you drop by once a month and stir the pot a little. At least throw some constructive posts in the mix once in awhile... ;)

Don't want to spill the beans too much since the review is coming, but I have to admit, I will never go back to flight sims without it. You'll have to wait for the rest of the review... ;)

Damn, he sure told me... ;)

BTW CT, I just about blew my drink all over my monitor when I saw that image... :D

Snap, TrackIR won't lead to motion sickness, it just lets you 'look around'. Are you thinking of the eDimension goggles? BTW Mudd, I have a TrackIR review almost ready to post, it's on my todo list this week.

hehe, for someone who doesn't ban users from his forum, he sure locked me out in a hurry. :D Anybody want to check on the thread and see what fine things he had to say in return to my post? http://www.flightsimhq.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=196
