    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.

Since leaving my beloved Annuschka behind, I have not taken a trip to St. Bart's. This morning, I was testing a replacement FDE for the MilViz Beaver and was so impressed, that I decided to do my usual Juliana, Bart's, Saba, Juliana rotation in her. The view down the hill was glorious.....

The view looking at whence I came, breathtaking....

It may well be time to bid Prepar3D v3 adieu.....

Here's Saba, with it's head poking into the clouds....

Believe it or not, the plan is to land on that postage stamp- carrier quals are a GREAT pre-requisite ;)

Ok, pick up the couple by the smart car..... and we're headed back to Juliana and a beer.... I think we earned it after that approach!
 
Maho Beach just becoming recognizable in the haze....

There's a Mojito with my name on it, at the Sunset Bar, just over the nose..... by the surfboard...

I normally park just under 300T over at Cargo 2, just below the tower cab. Today, I'm happy to park over here!

If you don't have this part of the world on your sim rig.... it's worth the price of admission- just superb!

Great pics as always!

Do tell - what's this replacement FDE for the Beaver? Where did you get it? I know MV is working on an update but did not think it was out yet?
 
Ah hah! Well Carl, it seems you and I share similar tastes in simulated flight; if you're impressed enough with the new Beaver FDE to replace your beloved Annaschuka, I'd say that bodes very well. Thanks for posting!
 
Actually, I do not test for MilViz or for Fly Tampa.... just a customer. I enjoyed the flight enough to share- that's all. A friend is helping me tweak a bit so that I can live with my decision to fully replace v3... in fact I uninstalled it today... so I really need a small airframe to love....

Thanks for the kind words Andrew.

Best- Carl
 
Wrong again.

Sorry Carl,I was confusing your testing for PMDG with my wait for the new Milviz STOL model etc.

I agree about the scenery,my favourite playground.

Cheers Chris

No worries Chris... my heart belongs to the 744, but I do love change, occasionally.

Truth be told, I enjoy flight- period. Real or simulated, large or small, I enjoy it all.

Sue-

Martin has step-by-step directions for each airport. They all work in v4 BEAUTIFULLY. I will update with his new installers, but for now they work with add-on.xmls just fine....

HTH- C
