    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.

MilTech Simulations next helicopter announcement for 20/24

Sorry for now it will only be glass for all 3 models (not sure if they are doing separate R/S and Jayhawk T cockpits).

Typical, isn't it. It'll give or take half a year to develop a steam gauge cockpit like that of the UH-60 at the Paris Air Show shown above. A glass-cockpit version takes maybe a couple of weeks. That's why we see a LOT of those boring monitors in our precious flying machines instead of those mucho more appealing, interesting and charming looking steam gauges. Takes a LOT of dedication, heart and eagerness and ipso facto a LOT of time to go the ol' steam gauge way. Throw in a couple monitors and Bob's your uncle. Everybody is looking at one already !

Saves a LOT of time and effort and young Xbox simmers have never even heard of steam gauges anyway so Glass-Cockpits it will be !

(certainly not denying that a glass-cockpit probabely is the next best thing since sliced bread for real world aviation but i still think it's kind of an 'easy way out' for FS developers. Not sure but is there even *one* default MSFS2024 aircraft that doesn't have a glass cockpit ?... And, truth be told, i hate 'em ! ;) )

From his comment i get the impression that Keith *does* want that glass-cockpit in his Black Hawk and *not* that steam gauge cockpit as shown in his photo... ( would be a no-brainer for me.. ;) )
 
Agree, re-read his comment and I spent my time staring at that instrument panel, so it would be fine with me. Glass is the way.

Absolutely NOT! :)
Steam all the way for me...apologies if my wording was confusing...
This is the cockpit I do my real-life flying in and that's as modern as I want :)
