    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.

Beech D18S Cargo Wheeled Version

Thank you for the heads-up, Tom, and thank you Milton for all of your hard work on these - both originally, and now in the conversions.
 
This cargo version of the fantastic D18S is already a favorite of mine. Besides the great flying characteristics, the sound is some of the best I have every heard. Thanks Milton and team for a great addition to the hanger.
 
Delighted

Took her for a ride around Puerto Rico first. Later around the Bolivian Andes and what a pleasure she is to fly! The soundset is indeed one of the very best, I might be getting too romantic but those engines really sound as if while being conscious of their own age they were still struggling hard to keep themselves running and flying

Thanks for a great job!
 
Thank you; keep in mind this is a beta so please report any issues found.

There are a few minor ones already reported.

ATC ID on the Globe texture fltsim section

Missing texture= texture name on one CAFNM entry; should be texture=CAFNM

Standby freq should be activated for Nav1 and comm1

Panel.cfg has a few minor errors regarding tail wheel lock on console.

All these have been corrected and will be reflected in the final release.

Thanks

I agree; Nigel did a great job on those sounds.
 
Stupid question probably but I guess this updated and native version makes the MSDC version by Bjoern redundant now. The D18S textures I had (except some earlier Logan ones have gone across nicely without a glitch. graphics are nice and the sound I like and flies smoothly.

FWIW Couple of points for me:

Tailwheel Lock switch on pedestal indicates but does not operate with mouse.
Flap Lever switch on pedestal indicates with mouse but does not operate with mouse.
Option to get rid of the yoke by clicking on seat is no longer present.

D18S Feedback

Flies very nicely for me and, as others have said, great sounds.

Only problem is I'm getting a message... "This gauge was created for FS98 or earlier and is no longer supported: FPDA_Gear_Wind"....
 
The issues mentioned have all been addressed. I will be uploading the final version today sometime.

BF,

Redundant, no, some good paints out there, right? and some added features and panel changes? David did a nice job on that.

The reason I decided to convert my original was to preserve all the original mapping and liveries that were done for it. It has its flaws but its not bad for 12 years old.

Yoke visibility: click the air vent on the floor by pilot's left leg, not the seat (that was David's version I think).

Regarding the flap lever - works fine here in both cargo and passenger versions so not sure what you are up against there. It takes a pretty long mouse drag to move it.

Just uploaded a slimmed down version of my paint kit for the Beech. It's set up for passenger, cargo and/or amphibs.
 
Morning all
It's probably just me but I flew the wheeled version of the D-18 recently released and found that I could not cause the autopilot to maintain a heading. Don't recall having this problem in the amphib version. Wondering if anyone else may have experienced this.
Thanks
Warren
