    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.

Aircraft Profiles for FireFighter X

Finally bought this and played with it for a few minutes last night. Very easy to use and adds a whole new level of "flying with a purpose" to FSX/P3D! I had a fire spawn in a very tricky canyon which made for some challenging passes in a P-3A...

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to post Aircraft profiles in for various tankers. However, I'm going to start with questions rather than answers.

P-3A - Can anyone recommend an accurate Tank Qty (gallons), Drop Qty (gallons per drop), and Drop Time (seconds)? I saw online a total tank capacity of 3000 gal, but I'm not sure if multiple drops were typically made with one full tank, and what the gallons/sec would be for each drop.

S-2 - I believe the tank capacity is 1200 gallons, and I believe they can make 4 separate drops. Any idea on the rate?
 
The P3 and S2T have a constant flow tanks so actually they can drop however much they'd like at a time. The main thing they adjust for is coverage level.

P3s could carry 3000 but I think they flew with 2750 gal. S2Ts are at 1200 gallons. You might want to check out some videos on YouTube and time some drops. But they can very because if you did a low coverage level drop it'd last a bit longer than full coverage.

That add on is the best add on for flight sim in my opinion. I fly it almost everyday.
