  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

I noticed that the canopy doesn't open, if fact, it looks like nothing opens using CTRL + E.

As least for me.......Just checking...
 
Well, usually Cntrl-E is used for a quick & dirty engine start. For opening the canopy / door it's usually Shift-E.

Hi GE,

With the Alabeo Gee Bee, the canopy can only be removed via a pop-up menu.

Press Shift+2, which will provide a window with three options, the last of which will allow you to remove the canopy. By doing it this way, Alabeo made it so that you cannot fly the aircraft with the canopy off, as that wouldn't be possible (at least not recommended) in the real aircraft anyway (the canopy assembly itself actually forms a rather significant amount of the rear upper fuselage).
 
Thanks John for the tip. I'll try that next time.
