  • 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.

Those look fantastic -- down to the whitewalls! What an interesting flight experience. I'd never heard of the Passat before.
 
Just wish you would sell through an alternative vendor ........... though do like your output and like to support the small developer doing the unusual stuff. Any news on the Jodel release? Doesn't look much like Tony Hancock in the ornithopter though..........

A great and hilarious movie, especially Gert Fröbe. In those days movies made you laugh out loud. Nowadays......

hertzie.
 
It's actually hard to imagine that the ornithopter ever flew, but it's said to have managed a few meters.
Greetings from the test phase

The "Demoiselle" had been proposed/created by my friend Bernard aka "ABD" for FSX/P3D (2012) and is still available on French-VFR :

French-VFR - Downloads

French-VFR a site about creation on FS2004, FSX, P3D (all versions) and MSFS. You can find tips and trucks on Gmax,Blender and Sketchup.

This one seems to have better textures !

Perhaps, If I have a bit of time available, I would take back and finish the Savoia of Porco Rosso that some people on SOH are asking me for ;)
