    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.

C310- but why?

Alabeo has announced their next project, and it will be Cessna C310. I don't know why they choosed that one.
 
Depends on what model they plan to do. There were some who were disappointed that the MilViz version wasn't the early short-nose version (B model) which was consider to be the iconic 310. Personal preference I guess.
 
i like the idea,i like carenado and alabeo planes,ill take any,i wish they would do a twin otter and a beaver.
 
Indeed why a C310, spent many hours in the 310R for real over the years, hated them, at full load they were like riding a greasy pig, give me a Baron any day!.
 
Alabeo: STOP! That's right STOP the silliness of making another ugly long nosed C310. We already have the MilViz payware one and there is a freeware version. We also have a very nice early -B straight tail/tuna tank version from Rob Richardson.

This is the one that we want:

Preferably not a C310 at all IMHO. But Carenado/Alabeo have a history of very often doing the aircraft that they have direct access to, so it may well be that they have access to a Cessna 310R.
Asking for a specific type is probably a waste of time.
I do like the visual quality of whatever they do, though, so I may get it, even though I really like the Milviz version.

The reason for the Milviz C310R is that is what Ken Stallings owned, so that's what we based our model on... :encouragement:
 
I to also prefer the look of the short nose versions of the 310 but there were actually practical aerodynamic reasons for the long nose. The short nose versions B - Q were less stable and had the glide rate of a rock. The long nose R was a much smoother and more stable ride. I've talk to pilots who have flown both and they agree.
 
I have a 310. Don't need another. I like my Milviz 310. Could care less that Alabeo is wasting time on redundancy. And though I really can't see the nose from the cockpit, that short nose is fugly.

What would really be good news is that someone is working on a brand new Turbo Otter.
 
Makes no sense whatsoever. The MilViz 310R is excellent and quite realistic in handling, I seriously doubt that a Carenado/Alabeo 310 is going to be significantly better and I seriously doubt it will have a better flight model or systems modeling.
