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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Wow, that looks for all the world like a two place BD10 with some Hornet thrown in! Could there possibly be a civvie sport jet version in the future as well?

My eldest cousin who's a retired USAF Colonel/F-4E Demo Pilot & former Deputy Inspector General of the USAF has been keeping close tabs on the T-X program. He indicated to me on more than one occasion over the last year that the T-50 has a major leap over the Boeing in terms of progress and furthered development. He noted that while the Boeing T-X and Leonardo T-100 are by no means out of the running, the Air Force clearly likes the T-50 over the other designs and USAF pilots who have flown it give it very high marks. I for one am looking forward to the fly-off competition to see how they stack up against one another. Regarding the Leonardo T-100, the Israelis seem to be very happy with their variant of that aircraft. [h=3][/h]

Here's the official web page if anyone is interested. Boeing T-X
Very impressive! I love their simulator. Wish our's looked like that. I can only imagine what kind of computer equipment is driving their simulator.

[SUB]Bummer, I was hoping someone had released a flight sim version when I saw the topic title!
Shame the T-50 is ahead, given it's a 16-year-old design based itself on the 44-year-old F-16. I wonder if the T-50 has an advantage because it's more "mature," but if that's shortsighted if the T-X has the advantage of being a clean-slate design?
The Leonardo/Raytheon T-100 getting it would be crazy, given that it's based off the same root design as the Russian YAK-130.
Realistically, it's probably more about whether the government decides Lockheed or Boeing needs the military production funding than it is the capability of the actual aircraft. (See: YF-23.)
