    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.

Looks great and wow does it go! Only bug I've seen is that the animation for the engines is swapped. Start #1 and all the needles for the instruments on the left engine work, but the right engine starts spinning. (Also it turns right when powering up #1 which is also correct.) Is there an easy fix that I don't know about (And I don't know a lot!) or does it have to be done on your end? Oh, hitting the second exit key in the air will let you fly in formation with the fuel bowser!:costumed-smiley-034 Not really a bug, but fun!

Okay, I see something. The animation of the props coincides with the switches in the VC. Left hand animation works with L.H. switch but then the RPM and MP needles for the right engine are indicating. If you use the keyboard, starting #1 runs the left hand gauge but animates the prop on the right. What could be crossed up?

Well spotted Josh, I can fix that :)

Cool beans. Might want to wait a bit to see if any other gremlins show themselves. I rarely use auto pilot or even VOR equipment as I mainly stick to VFR around Wisconsin but someone else who uses those systems might find something. Seems common on new releases but that's why a second, third or fourth set of eyes is great. You did a fantastic job with a great subject. Now all I need is a better graphics card so it displays in my sim like it does in your photos!

what a terrific model! Wouldn't it be nice to have repaints of the old Ito model for it?!
