    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.

Thought I heard recently, once SU15 was released, we may see a new Carenado creation arrive in the sim shortly after ??

Cheers :cool:
 
I'd love their c185, the Mentor or, better still, the 1900D. All of those are pretty famous. Maybe one will be the "famous flyer" in early June. (y)
 
It would be great to have the T-34 in MSFS, especially the beautiful "Free Spirit" aircraft owned and operated for years by Julie Clark. Way back in August 2000, I flew in that aircraft with Julie as we did some basic aerobatics with another T-34. This was to research one of the very last productions of The VIP Group, a multimedia tribute to Julie. The T-34 was absolutely beautiful, and so was the pilot.

Interesting and adventurous story. I have 4.7 hours in a T-34. When I was in pilot training the local aeroclub had one. I was able to fly it a few times. It was a fun airplane. We were not supposed to do aerobatics (no parachutes and no longer rated), but...
 
If it helps Carenado to decide, I too would like a T-34. First (and only) T-34 ride was in 1974 flown by the U.S. Navy recruiter (LT; O3). That one hour aerobatic ride hooked me on aviation and in many ways resulted in an aviation focused career (not to mention retiring from the US Navy Reserve). Julie Clark used to live 15 miles south on I-35 (Sky Harbor Residential Airpark, Webster, MN) of where I sit at this very moment. I spoke with her several years ago at the Palm Springs Air Museum (a T-34 fly in) and she said she lives exclusively in California. She was a unique spirit.

All-in-all, I'd go for a T-34

P.S. Now I'm just an old guy, enjoying the great home simulators that are available to us.
 
+1 on the T-34. I can't believe they did not re-vamp this one. It was one of the first really stellar Flight Sim add-ons back in the day.
 
I flew simulated air combat in a T-34 with Sky Warriors outside Atlanta in the mid-90's, before they had the terrible accident a year later when the wing spar snapped and they lost two people. It was an amazing experience -- lasers and detectors on the planes, and the target plane would smoke if you hit it.
 
did julie clark pass away? she lived, or had a house at cameron park for a long while. one of those places where you land, then taxi right to your home. cool little community.
 
My vote is for the T-34 also, remember it being one of the most detailed planes at the time, did Carenado do that one back then? Was it FS2000?

She is still around, but retired from display flying some years ago. She did a nice job in that Beech, I never saw better in that type. I think I still have the old Mentor working in FS9, it was nice. An MSFS one would have to be all new, I'm sure, but would be welcome.
