Being a maintainer of a web server of my own, I think that it a good thing, to have services like that. And you can be assured, if Let's encrypt should go away some day, that there are so many people, to found a new similar service.

Anyway, many hosters offer some kind of encryption for their customers. Some for free, some for fee... I mean, it's not only, that others can't read, what comes through your connection. It's also a big security issue in terms of drive-by attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks and so forth. I, for one, think that I don't want my visitors being vulnerable to such attacks, because of my setup of the server.

As I understand it, the 90-day limit is there to ensure, that old CA's and old or faulty certificates can't get abused for long. After 90 days everything is reset. It's just a small cronjob in practise.

But I don't want to persuade anyone to do anything. That's anyone's own decision. I just thought, it might be good to trigger some thinking. :mrgreen:


Thanks Chris.
I' m not an expert with all this online stuff. Another concern I have is, if all my pics here wont show up any more after I set the server to SSL. Do I have to change then all the paths of my postings here and for the download links afterwards to https:// or will the server redirect this automatically?
Not even sure if I can edit posts that are years old here?

And another pic, just to become not to much off topic

You can configure your webserver to redirect to https:// for http:// requests. That will leave your links stable.
Or you can configure it to serve both, https:// and http://

Also, the browsers will try to reach the content via https first.

I did a flight today between Sacramento (KSMF) and Las Vegas (KLAS) and passed over some pretty beautiful places during cruise.

The Sierra Nevadas

Some deserts when flying over Nevada.

The flight itself was pretty successful, the STAR took me over some pretty high mountains and I did an RNAV approach on the way into Vegas.

Kind Regards,

Just finished a beautiful flight from Juneau to Anchorage in the 707. Overcast and icy below about 10,000', but totally clear above.

I'm off at college so I've stopped making liveries (for the time being, at least), but I'm continuing to ensure compatibility for the ones I've already published.

Toying around with my freshly arrived warthog throttle: damned!! That makes escorting AI planes easy.

I have certainly scared too much the Airline pilot

We seem to have some problems with the AI traffic in air, as well :)

cheers,

Any joystick is mandatory for the flight simulator.

So right. Let me just add for the ones using mouse and keyboard, as I was doing a while ago, that it is certainly the most difficult! Guys, if you fly anything with mouse and keyboard, it will become trivial with joystick, rudder & throttle. It is just a lot more expensive :-/

PS: I bought all of them over 2 years then! ;)

since AI craft are not set ""hot"", they fly through anything... they have no concept of mountains once they are flying their auto-generated flight plan... they drive through each other and even you when taxiing... the moral of the story is do not follow AI craft everywhere they go unless you are in the UFO (which is also not ""hot"" and flies anywhere, too) ;)

Good to know, but I thought they were having a flight plan from one airport to another one?

PS: This one was indeed behaving like it was on approach, but there are no airport there, even behind that mountain, close or far.

they do fly from one airport to another... it was probably on descent... i've seen them start descending into KSFO and go through the mountains there before getting out over the bay and turning right for approach and landing... they always descent to 2000 and stay there while coming around to approach and land... i used to chase them in the UFO all the time ;)

Code: Select all
they always descent to 2000 and stay there while coming around to approach and land..


That makes sense, airports behind they were :)
