    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.

New and surprisingly good looking from the sim community's greatest distributor of 747 avionics!

SPAD S.XIII – Captain Sim

Damage appears to be toggleable judging by the description provided. Decent price, good looking model, thankfully believable WWI aircraft flight dynamics are fairly easy to achieve, maybe this is the route CS should have taken to start with? 🤔

Looks interesting but I will wait till it shows up in the market. I see they say its part of the 'WW1 Collection', I assume that means this is going to be the first in a series.
 
I saw on their site that it contained a Belgian paint, so I just had to!

So I gave in and got it myself! It's really not terrible, good price point for what's being offered.
What makes me chuckle is that if you toggle the "Misc" function on the clipboard which looks like its enabling the guns you can already kind of see, but have no muzzle, it adds in....
wine bottles?

I knew the SPAD was French but that's French on another level!
 
Meanwhile, Microsoft/Asobo have recently said they have done away with the ban on weapons being displayed on Marketplace aircraft (as long as the weapons don't do anything), both in MSFS 2020 and 2024.
 
Had to get it via the site. Lovely model, flies very well also. I cut the fuel and engine when I set down, one still needs a lot of runway for it to stop. They need to add a World War I pilot though. I used one from the Avatar set.

"I've been hit by a champagne cork and those suckers really hurt!"

Very true, ask Birium Gurmay, the first African to win a major bike race, when he won a stage in the Tour de France. When popping the cork, it hit him in the eye and he had to abandon the Tour. Those things can be critical! :ROFLMAO:

Likewise... the AvAngel review crucially mentions that a wine cork calibre is 20mm.
She measured one co-incidentally to hand.
This represents an upgrade to the original guns.
 
I actually think it's a very nice model. My only criticism is that she's a bit too shiny and I would have loved to see a bit more wear and tear.

Based on the positive comments here, I picked it up. Yes, would love to see more wear and tear, dirty surfaces. Web search reveals dozens of very interesting markings and colors.
 
Nice model, and Interesting read: your intended audience no doubt understood the difference between "flying" and "landing" wires, not ot mention "two-bay" and "single-bay" biplane!
