  • 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.

Next in line for FSX Native conversion well in progress.

We have wheels, floats, amphibs, and skis in both passenger and cargo configurations.

Here are some shots of the wheel and floats versions WIP.

LOL Pete.

Yup, these are great hand-flyers, torque-y engines, no bad habits, even the water friendly versions.

Love how after take off initial climb-out, you can just pull the throttle back a bit, coarsen the prop pitch and you can feel the torque lurching you ahead. :)

Great sounds and liveries by the Man himself, Nigel, and some great paints by Matt Wynn.
 
Great Milton. I'm a big fan of your Avia series.:encouragement:

Yes, as I recall, it was because of you that this series was done due to a pic you posted of the Avia 51 that really impressed me.

The whole Avia series will be converted in due time.
 
Down to the last model to convert, the amphib cargo version.
Lots of models involved in the four packages so a bit time consuming.

Ah, thanks ... conversion is completed. Now time to go over all the details to see what needs to be corrected. Things are looking good.

Unfortunately, I have no bump/spec maps to enhance appearances but I have included neutralized bumps/specs and the materials support and capability to add them.
 
I have completed testing and now am packaging the Avia 56 series to upload, by day's end hopefully.

Deleted, after a long day putting up X-mas decorations with SWMBO I can't seem to test anything correctly.
