    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 just bought it.....I do wish they had provided the more "pointed" and narrower spinner as an optional selection. One can only hope the developer continues to update the Beaver as they do the Phantom. -d

I would agree that is a stop point for me. I have never seen a Beaver in Oz with a spinner like that. Which leads to my next question for all those who bought or are buying the product - Is there a no spinner version? I could not see one in the publicity pictures. Again most of the Beavers in Oz had no spinner at all.
 
Here are some nice images.

Nice images Nick. Helps reinforce my point about the spinner, there is a significant different in the overall size and length. The last one is IDO, did an hour and half in it once upon a time, and if I am not mistaken that would be Gladstone, can't miss the chimney stacks strategically place downwind (hills on the other side), not the place to be on a dark and stormy night on a bad weather circuit after completing an instrument approach. Then again when I think of it I cannot recall a Beaver in OZ every being operated IFR (legally).

Yes, you can opt for no spinner if you wish. I've seen both the rounder nose and the pointy nose spinners used in Real Life TM

LOL,yes "we" are...

there is a DHC-2 MK.1 that flies in and out of the Auburn Airport several times a week,or did,recently its down in the Bay Area. N299EE. from South Lake Seaplanes out of Glenbrook,NV (Lake Tahoe) my point to this,it flies directly over my house...kills me to hear these radial engined planes and not be able to get outside to see them in time.
 
Another Spinner thought

OK, I've been a flight simmer ever since the Chuck Yeager flight sim days. This morning I purchased the MilViz Beaver and all in all like it very much. I am not too particular. But all this talk about spinners makes me wish the two bladed prop also had the option of a spinner. The spinner modeled is exactly what is on a lot of R985 powered aircraft with the two bladed prop.

How's that for my only complaint! I am now waiting for repaints...........it'd take me about two months to do one myself!

Cheers

Barry
 
one more spinner thought oops, maybe

OOPS! I just looked up a little on the forum and see a photo of a two blade model with and without the spinner.............what command does that?

Hello,

I've submitted an email to register at the Milviz support forums (this is my first Milviz product), but in the meantime I thought I'd ask here: has anyone had an issue running the updater? When I try to run it (anti-virus disabled, running as admin, Windows 7) I get an error about "integrity check failed". Tried deleting and re-downloading, same issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks...

There is a fix to the updater coming with the next version.
 
Hi Guys!
For those who installed the Beaver with the latest installer(v1.170528) do you have the same problem as I have(Ok it's P3D but maybe it's the same thing in FSX). All the versions are installed in the "Airplanes" folder but...
attachment.php

as you ca see the Toundra, skis and floats version don't show. I tried to report to MilViz but I can't reach the site for a DNS problem.

Cheers

Pat

Nope not at all, (well some are) it is just in this part of the world, and there were a lot of beavers about once, spinners were for some reason not used or taken off. I have never seen a Beaver in this country (OZ) with the large spinner thats all. They used to use them for spraying and super spreading (There were about 20 operating in my district alone for probably 20 years or so), later they went on to be converted back and most ended up as amphibians. So the large spinner seemed very odd thats all. But now they have a no spinner option, well, I am a simple soul, it now looks right.
