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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Autopilots
- Thread starter jimjones
- Start date
Those planes use touch screen Garmins. This video is a good primer:
The real King Air has Collins avionics, but MS/Asobo have just cobbled in a G3X with multiple screens. All three have the same Split option, but you have to lower your view a little to see that button on the center display.
It's worth noting that the latest patch pretty much broke the autopilots for any kind of IFR flying.
For whatever reason, Asobo decided to "smooth" the autopilots out by making them massively shallow out the bank angle when they get within about 30 degrees of the desired heading or course, so turns now take long enough that the ATC (which is already questionable for IFR flying) is utterly baffled, and instrument approaches basically require hand-flying if you're doing anything but a stupidly long final on an ILS.
