Citation Excel Project

[Jaffa]

Wow guys!  looks great!  

How did you learn gmax?  I would love to help out but have no design skills!

all right guys, we got a problem. Geocities is too strict with the bandwith stuff, and we cant afford to have our site down for an hour. That fly.to service, is it better than geocities? I could try taking some things off our site such as pages and pics but still..


Ok, little update here:

Ive taken off the Projects page. From now on all info on our projects, pics, and etc. will be placed on the forum site. This is to save a bit mroe space in Geocities. Also, i think ill make another geocities account for the extra pages, such as members and links, to save up space on the homepage. Ive made all CC team members administrators at the forum site. Right now im busy tryin to make sure we dont get many data transfer problems. Katahu, sorry but i think i might not be able to send you the textures today either, too darn busy. Maybe tonight though..

Also,  check out the [url]flightsim.com[/url] news on the main page. Thats why i wanna make sure we dont have more site problems..

It's alright Oz. I can wait.

Hey Jlvandam, I'm having some problems trying to export the DVC model to FS2002 (for testing purposes).

Maybe you can try it out and see shere I went wrong.

I hope this DVC won't cause any more problems for this project.

This will probably be my last post on simviation regarding the Citation project.

PS: Jlvandam, post your e-mail address using Private Message.

Ok just e-mail it to jlvandem@hotmail.com Oz if you want to move the site over to www.citationcrew.fly.to you'd have to talk to EriePlane. He's the one who offered it and I'm sure it would give us more bandwith than geocities.

All right my last post here.

The site problem is really getting intolerable. It goes down after at least 2 views. There may be someone who might be willing to help us, youll see the post in our forums. If not we'll have to ask others to help us, i dont know....maybe pete might be willing to lend us 2 or 3 pages. From now on guys take a quick look at the forums for any news or anything.

I think I know what's causing all the problems in the new website.

Have you heard what the news have said this week?

They say that a large number of COMPUTER HACKERS ar making some kind of dumb contest on who can HACK into servers the most and the fastest.

This HACKER problem has grown so big that the news also said that the Homeland Security Department got stirred up.

Maybe that's why you are having problems. So many hackers must have gone through the server that the server itself couldn't handle.

Or maybe I'm just jumping into conclusions here.

Or maybe it's not the hackers. Because everytime I visit the site, the site seems ok. In most cases, all I had to do was REFRESH the page.

[Oz]

no i dont think its a hacker..

The site started havin these problems after the news post appeared on Flightsim.com accouncing our formation and all. So many people must have clicked on the link..Anyways give it about...well.....time...before the the problem stops happening so frequently. A person at the forum site has offered to give us a site (www.com domain) but im still in talks with him since its for a price..but hes willing to give it to us for free (However, we have to have a donation service...using paypal) Well we'll see what the tide will bring in the next couple days...

Just went to the site, gave it a couple minutes, went to it again and it was down...

[jlvandem]

Hey Oz, a .com domain would be awesome, but remember we need to try to keep it as free as possible. If it needs to be paid for though who is going to pay for it? Katahu I've been really busy lately and haven't been able to test out the DVC but I'm sure I'll be able to get to it sometime later today. I'll let you know how it goes on the new forum.

All right, thanks to John D. (Flightgeek) we now have a another operational site. http://citationcrew.geekwithus.com Still a work in progress, he made the shockwave animations though. Hes gonna ararnge stuff differently and although he normally charges for his services, he will do this for free - as long as we dont have toooo much bandwith problems, but then we can ask for a small donation on the site. But heres the best thing though: He actually flew the Citation, and might have sounds for it i guess. So we will name him Beta Tester/Technical Advisor and is now a member of the crew. Those were his terms. He is gonna have a redirector for the site so we can type in citationcrew.org (.com is taken) but not ready yet. Anyways, more info on our main forums

[jlvandem]

This just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait till the Excel is finished.

the .fly.to is only a redirection service for URLs andE-Mail and is available at www.v3.com
f we were to put some banners on a .com site it might pay for itself if we kept the downloads on free webspace
