    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.

Both are different planes!

Another great success! I admit when flying each I don't detect much difference but I think the nose of the Mk2 has a slightly more pleasing shape than the turned up one on the Mk1.
 
All I can say is “wow”. A quality add on that put a number of payware releases to shame. Congratulations on a truly magnificent aircraft. Will be flying this a lot.

Beautiful flying machine, but I can't get the "Volts" light to go out on the warning panel. I've got the generator on and am following the startup checklist. Am I missing a switch somewhere?

Thomas,

Just made my first flight in the Mark 2. Super job ! Only noticed one little 'bug'. The strobes on the wing are visible in the cabin in the wing root area.
No biggie, just don't look up there on a night flight. It'll ruin your night vision.:biggrin-new:

Off to make another flight with the float model ! Thanks for another great plane !
 
Thomas,
As others have noted, there are payware planes that don't come close to the quality of your planes. Many thanks for such a generous contribution to the community.

I was pleasantly surprised by the manageable ground handling characteristics. I was prepared for the typical FSX turboprop compromise of either "taxi at 60 knots and/or ride the brakes until they're red hot"...but the Ground Idle switch on the Soloys definitely works as advertised!
 
Totally blows away the payware stuff. Bravo. I don't think I need to buy another Cessna again. LOL
