    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.

I am within days of completing (and publishing) my Flight Simulation book entitled "The Pilot Makers of WW2 in Flight Simulator". I would love to recommend the DSD Avro Anson within its pages, but I need some clarification as to its status.

1. Did a recent MSFS update break the animation/operation of the landing gear? Yes, I know it was slow (in real life and The Sim), but it used to work and now it is not, at least for me. Can someone else check to see if it is still working for them in FS2020 and FS2024 please?

2. Five months ago there was a reported dispute regarding the distribution of the DSD conversion. Has this been verified as legitimate? Is the matter settled? And will the free availability of the Anson remain, or is it still in danger of disappearing from sight?

I look forward to some clarification. The Anson deserves to live on in our simulated skies.

UPDATE:-

Answer found to question 1. - I had been using my Bravo throttles for gear up and down. I temporarily unhooked it, and tried to use the standard "G" keystroke, or a binding for toggle gear. The Anson does not respond to that. It needs the separate gear up and gear down prompts.

I still would like to know the answer to question 2.
