Have a look and post comments here please.

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie at cfs2 (as anyone who has seen my stalled plane splash into the Pacific for the umpteenth time in te zone wil tell you) so I can't really help people with their gaming problems (technical problems, not gambling  ;D) but I am a web developer by profession so I can pass comment here for you.
Looks good. My only comments on the existing site is that load time is often a bit slow whatever my connection speed but that is probably your host and largely beyond your control. If that is improved I will be a very happy person.
Comment on your new pages.
The background olive colour makes some of the text colours hard to read, especially on low colour monitors. I would recommend keeping all text white on such a background (not as colourful but easier read).
Good luck with the design.
Oh, and great site with a lot of great stuff.
Thanks

Hadn'y given much thought to the text colours when I made the new pages...hust ported the links off the old ones.

You're right though...white is much easier to read, or maybe black. You have to have a minimum contrast level to see things properly.

Hi SilverFox.   I like the look of the Simviation Main Page and that you can navigate right from there. Still the familiarity we have all come to recognize as Simviation, but with a new demension.
The Combat page looks pretty good other than all the different colored texts in there. Most were easy to read but my gut reaction was that it looks less professional. Really not sure if it is the color or the size of the text in there, but it kept catching my eye for the wrong reason. The layout on it though, is very nice. Keep up the good work.
