    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.

B-58 Hustler WIP

Excellent! The first model airplane I ever built was a 1/72 scale Hustler. Back then, it looked so "space-age" futuristic. It's always been one of my favorites. Nice to know I might get to fly a really good model in the sim.
 
Not a huge fan of jets, but this one ticks all of the boxes for me. Such a beautiful design.
 
Hope they get the shape of the wing tips right, they curve down at the tips when viewed from behind, also the outer nacelle pod pylons need the trailing edge to be changed and the large pod needs a bit of a shape up, but it's work in progress, and I'm sure it'll get sorted. Glad to see someone building a new Hustler for MSFS, I enjoyed making that for FSX.

TBH all the proportions looks incorrect. Maybe it's the camera angles. I don't want to ignite any firestorms about being nit picky etc, but I think it's ok to say it. I'm not being nit picky. The entire proportions of the exterior look just strange to me. Doesn't mean it's not going to be a fun addon though. It's nice to actually see something big, pointy and fast.

Curved wing to the tips appear to be missing in those screen shots. I does look a little bulky in the screens. But really too early to tell anything final.

Yes, could be. I'll tell you what it reminds me of. You ever read Calvin and Hobbes (the cartoon strip)? Bill Watterson was a fabulous artist, and was very good at taking complex shapes and reducing them to a simpler form. That B-58 reminds me of something he would draw. It has a slight cartoonish feel to it. I can't put my finger on it.
