    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.

Shouldn't a mkI Gloster Gladiator be able to turn inside bf109E?:confused:
...or just about any other mono-winged fighter??
 
I was just flyin' a mission in the Belgian Glad (beautiful skin from Nigel!!) and the bad ol' A.I. flyin' 109e's out-turned me
:)icon34:they had a lot more energy ta start with but...) and, generally speaking, had me fer dinner! (or was it hors deurves?)
...I don't think I even put up enuf of a fight ta be considered a main course!!:isadizzy:
 
:kilroy:Popsaka, get used to using your controls a bit more "creatively". As long as the enemy can get and stay above you, you're in trouble. Entice them to come down to your level.

I had tons of fun dropping the Glad into PTO and tearing those Zeroes a few new holes!:d
 
Originally I used the little MS Sidewinder and I thought: O.K. fine... its short, its quick, great, huh?... Wrong!

Though a bit ungainly at first, the Saitek pro is a whole new ball game... only a bit longer, put you sit up on the end of it so its as if its twice as long! ...and the auto calibration gives it a control and stability the Sidewinder just ain't got!

It makes me want to try one of those full size(and full length) french jobs in a motion pit with the peddles, et all.... that must be as good as it gets!

What I want tho' (that I can afford, that is) is sumpin like the Saitek but w/ force feedback...

Anyone have any suggestions or feelings about this???:fish2:
 
The Saitek must be a monster,:faint:the Sidewinder FFB2 already takes up more desk space than I'd like, but it does have FFB....:d
 
The Saitek's only got a slightly bigger footprint than my Sidewinder Pro*... Its just TALL that' all!

*(NO FF unfortunately)
 
There is NO WAY a 109 can out-turn a Gladiator - or a Spitfire for that matter, assuming adequate levels of energy at the bounce. Back to school...!
