SORRY FOLKS,
THE AAC WEBSITE NO LONGER EXISTS

[alliedaircorps]

~S~All,
Today, I updated the AAC Pilots Flight Roster to reflect the Promotion of Limy to 1st Lt.
Congratulations, Sir, and Well Done.

It has also come to my attention that the ZRCanyon Scenery offered at our Site was an Auto Installer that may not have worked properly.
With that in mind, the Canyon Scenery has been changed to a standard scenery package. Install it as you would any scenery.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

lots of work to be done on the web site,

greetings All,
here's a little web site status update;

today, i started updating the AAC web site
and quickly found that i had irreparably
screwed up the opening page.
needless to say, i am less than ecstatic.

besides making changes to the opening page,
which are not correctable,
i can no longer edit link colors,
there are no longer attachments,
which are the pictures and logos,
and we are now limited to 10 pages,
unless we want to pay,
which i do not.

apparently, the web site host,
FreeWebs has changed to WEBS
and has changed their system.
the main problem is, simply,
our page template no longer exists.
i have tried to modify our Template,
but stopped when a pop-up said,
Warning; that our template is not compatible
and i will not be able to return to the old one.
i immediately backed off,
concerned that we would lose what we have.

so, what to do?
1) i can try to back up all of the site data,
then, modify the template and hope it works.

2) start a whole new web site from scratch
and use the data from the old one,
then, when finished, delete the old one.

3) leave the site as it is
and try to make due with what we have.

for now, i am leaning towards
leaving it as it is
and giving it some thought.

for one, i don't like the idea of
cutting from 15 pages to 10,
but i'm sure i can consolidate.

i think i'll start by copying the pages to my machine.
dang!!! this is going to be fun.

well, that's just about enough for one weekend.
there's still a lot of work to be done,
but that should cover us for a while.

please, go over and have a look.
any comments, suggestions,
or constructive criticism
will be taken with a grain of salt
and be much appreciated.

btw, the old link to the site
will redirect you to the new one;
OR NOT

~S~ Sir ?

This is a major update of the website.

No problems to navigate in it but I found myself as Axis Kommander (German ?) with CPT rank and that was a surprise.

In our poll last year i think Bluezulu was selected ................

It seems that all regular AAC pilots have moved up one step regarding rank.

Suggestion: Set Johnny as Axis Kommander and let Axis pilots have same rank and when flying missions the active Kommander
will be assigned for the specific mission

hello Scandfox,
many thanks for your input.
i will attempt to answer your questions;

first, "~S~ Sir ?"
you can call me anything you want,
just don't call me late for dinner!
i am still active within the AAC,
just, for the time being,
not as an active pilot.
there is more than enough for me to do behind the scenes.

as for your promotion and new assignment,
Surprised?? good.
that will teach you to go off wine tasting.

Axis Kommander is a silly little thing
we came up with years ago.
if the axis pilots want it changed to Commander,
please let me know and it will be done.

you may have noticed that
i removed myself as Axis Kommander.
as i see it, this was long past due.
with that in mind, i feel the same about
Johnny as Axis Kommander or even Vice K.
simply put, neither of us have been around to lead.

i may be mistaken, but after the vote was taken
selecting Bluezulu as Axis Kommander,
he decided that he did not want the position,
so we just left things as they were.
as i said, i may be mistaken.

the decision to assign Scandfox AK
was made this weekend by the AAC Staff.
if Scandfox does not want the position,
or if the Axis pilots would prefer someone
other than Scandfox as their leader,
might i suggest that another vote be taken
and the results be presented to the Staff.

honestly, i like the idea of pilots taking turns
designing and leading missions.
it gives everyone an opportunity to see
the amount of work it takes to pull off one of these things,
not to mention, it helps develop leadership skills.
But, i still think someone needs to be
the over all Axis leader.

other than that, rank within the AAC
is based on longevity, and especially,
leadership demonstrated during missions.
in my case, it appears to be for things
done in the far distant past,
and honestly, my rank is merely honorary.
to which i say,
Thank you, i am Honored.
