    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.

747 Steering

Hi All

I have come late to the Asobo/Salty 747.

I am really struggling with the take-off roll. As soon as I apply power the aircraft sets off to the right and the rudder seems to have no effect. The reason seems to be that my TM HOTAS throttle is only running up the two left hand engines so i have asymetric thrust. Is there a way to set the thrust power across all four engines when my throttle has two tethered power levers?

Thanks

Tom - sorry yes - the throttle assignment on my HOTAS was allocated to Throttles 1 & 2. Because this is obviously a 4-engined aircraft this doesn't work. What was happening was I was only getting power on the left engines causing an uncorrectable (with rudder) swing to the right as full power is selected. By reassigning the throttles simply to "Throttle" rather than "Throttles 1 & 2" the problem goes away.
