    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.

Albatross! Albatross! I haven't got any ice cream, just got this Albatross!

Hi Mike. Thanks for suggesting an overlooked NAV1/GPS setting to allow the HU-16 autopilot to activate and use the NAV features to capture an ILS and an approach. I repeated a test, assuring the NAV1/GPS switch activated NAV. The rest of my autopilot actions used the small grouping of autopilot settings located just above the Radio Altimeter. Hovering over the AP, HDG, NAV, APR, REV and APT keys display in banners the action and ON or OFF condition. Pressing the AP displays the red ROL and AP. Pressing the HDG key displays the red HDG and AP. Pressing the NAV displays the red ROL and AP and a brief NAV1 which disappears. The end result is that I can't get NAV to work for an ILS capture or approach. Since it works for you it must be my system. Thanks again for your suggestion. I appreciate your response.

Sincerely,
Jim

If it still doesn't work for you after that, then maybe something has been fixed in SU3. A huge update for the Albatross will come with or shortly after that one goes public.

SU3 is out, and I've just been reading through the release notes. Blimey, Mike - that is a long list for the Albatross! Well done, and a huge thank you.

Grumman Albatross HU-16/G111 Thread

Grumman Albatross 2.2.1 Update release notes Greetings everyone. Now that SU3 is out, the second major update for the Albatrosses has finally arrived! My apologies for the repeated delays, but Asobo made some very useful improvements in Sim Update 3 beta which just had to be taken advantage of...

There's some more good stuff to come soon with SU4 as well, but that will be a much smaller update.

Cheers.
 
Pleased to let Mike know that SU3 resolved the HU-16 Nav and Apr issue as he suggested. Works great too. Thanks Mike.
