  • 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.

:jump: Dear Milton and Avia team... another fine gem from the masters. This wonderful creation took me out of my comfort zone and put me on my toes. One gets used to the luxury of flaps and buckets of power up front. It's like getting nipped by a strange dog. You stop and say to yourself, " I should have expected that. That was stupid on my part." You brought back the feel of real stick, rudder and power. I just mentioned in another thread, try this on Falcon409's N30 with a slight crosswind. You WILL pay attention..if you don't want to bend it. Great job on FDE, textures and most definitely the sound. Not sure that Jake was as powerful as it sounds, but it does sound BIG. Thanks again to all of you for bringing this jewel to life......Great Job! Terry
 
This is definitely a great flyer; floater too. ;)

I always thought Nigel's metal finish on "Fishing Buddies" was one of the best ever in FS9. Thanks for paying it forward Milton!
 
Thanks for converting these, Milton.

There's a few models and a few schemes I never knew about from the FS9 days - so a really nice surprise!

Thanks for the comments and encouragement. :)

I just sent off the tundra, ski, and float base cargo version variants to Andre so he can get his texture magic going. :)

I still have other variants yet to be completed.

Making good headway. :)

EDIT: LOL I see I posted this message in the wrong thread; was referring to the Fleet 50K here. Sorry. LOL

Tundra ..... YAY :jump:

It just keeps getting better ….. round engine, tailwheel, cargo …. and fat tyres :applause:

Uhhhh, yes ... that would be these here 'uns.

BTW, this is a very forgiving aircraft whether on tires, floats or skis. It just handles what you throw at her, save the tailwheel.
She'll be great in the bush or outback.

EDIT: If you are confused by this post, I apologize. I posted the earlier comment thinking I was in the Fleet 50 K thread.

Dear All, dear Uncle Milton

Bit strange question

There is an FSX native Avia 57 Float.
Is there an wheeled version too FSX Native ?
At least I cannot find it

Very best regards

Roland

( after last FSX crash had to move to P3DV 4.4 which only accepts FSX Native ( and there not all))

Hello Roland, very nice to see you again. :wavey:

The Avia 57 is on the list to be converted to FSX native after my current Works In Process project.
Should be available around the end of March.

Thanks for your interest.
