  • 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.

Not just aircraft you know, we had that in surveillance vans. Not so much fun for the ladies though. :biggrin-new: Look away officer.

I've actually wondered about that in the past.

As for the Beverly, I'm definitely looking forward to being able to fly this again, especially with MJ's talent behind it.
 
We had a single "P-tube" in the "Sea King". On a cross country flight out of NAS NORVA one night we had to circle a VOR (FAK) four times so the whole crew could say, "We pi$$ed on a 'flat rock' during the flight".

Originally wanted to do it for P3D PBR only but have decided to do FSX as well.

So......none of these aircraft ever found their way into military surplus sales...? You know.....Alaska....Northern Canada...South America..? I'm certain a few slipped out....I'll check the Encyclopedia Photoshop, under "Buffalo...."

Maybe it's just my Magoo Memory....

I doubt it.
IIRC the economies of operating the Beverley against the US built alternatives ensured that it was not a serious proposition.

The Beverly was only ever operated by the RAF.
 
That looks awesome, Manfred! The Beverley is such a wonderful example of weird transport/weird British design.

I really appreciate your efforts and I'm glad it looks like you're going to "ship" it! I know it'll make a lot of folks happy to get a chance to try flying it.

C'mon, c'mon, boys.

I'm musing realm of fantasy. Something the flightsim excels at.

Hint: Encyclopedia Photoshop?

Sorry, I thought you were asking if it had genuinely been flown by civil operators. As for fantasy 'what-if' liveries, I agree - it's a very good subject.
 
I actually saw what I think was the last ever flight by a Beverley when it flew in to the old Hendon aerodrome and became part of the RAF Museum. I was bunking off school at the time.
 
This is the FSX version with more rivets and panels, plus specs and bumps. Next on the todo, a Middle East camo paint...
