  • 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.

AH DHC-1 Chipmunk Chippy has landed 6/24

Note to YoYo - next time use even more smilie faces

Note to self - stop trying to suggest release dates based on Hallmark holidays (or even real ones)

Note to AH - Thanks for building a Chippie for MSFS
 
And you started in on your 1:48 spitfire that your dad bought you, with a slightly shaky hand on the tube of glue hoping that you wouldnt ruin the plastic canopy with glue run off, in the knowledge that this would take a few more days or even a week but you didnt care...

The hours as a kid invested in modeling. So many good memories.

Always fighting the glue run off!
 
Hope someone will do a Portuguese Air Force skin...posing back in 1965, pilot took me for a spin, first time, he wanted to have fun as for me had to be helped leaving airplane. No joy as I remember. Next flights, no aerobatics, no problems.

Also, because audio's been a topic of conversation with AH and I was really impressed with the WWise sound here, recorded from a real Gypsy engine, I decided to toss together a quick video with sound inside and outside the plane so that people could hear for themselves what a great job Baz and team did here.


Really impressed so far; only got about a half-hour of flying in tonight, but it feels good and seems to maneuver very closely to what I've seen real Chipmunks do at airshows. And the cockpit looks great.

Not on my preferred download site yet.

Just flight.
Hopefully will be there after work.
 
Really great sound. Old times we started engine by hand, rotating propeller, magnets free, contact and a strong push. Had to be very careful. No explosive cartridge start...Going to buy this one, of course and hope someone will do a Portuguese skin.
 
The weekend is safe:applause:

One of the first - if not the first - addon I ever purchased for flightsim, that is FS2000 and it came in a box on CD, was this: Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and it off course featured the Chipmunk.

Ever since that day this aircraft is high on my list. Great to have it back in MSFS quality!!!
