    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.

Carenado SD360 Released

Future Textures

it works, theres a catch that needs to be flipped prior to reverse thrust (F2 or whatever you command is)

Actually more of a hopeful request, but if you don't ask, you don't get. Jeansy, any chance in the distant future of a texture for S360 VH-MVX in Murray Valley Airlines colours. I have a large framed photo of the aircraft taken during pre-delivery out of Belfast. I think there may be others in Airliners net.
 
Yes, it seems to have all you may need. I think that's the Canadian Civil Aviation approved A.F.M. I'm trying to find some of the old training manuals I had, (assuming the silverfish have not beaten me too it),as they were very good re aircraft systems etc. It's amazing what one forgets over the years. e.g. the single point refuelling was the Left(or Right) sponson, and the hydraulic servicing panel was in the opposite sponson (Left or Right). See what I mean!!! Ho-Hum, time for a cup of tea.


Fuel point right sponson, hyds left sponson, its one of my rw type ratings too :)


Oh and the reverse pitch indication test, was better known as low blade angle and secondary stop test in some manuals. Ground fine was plenty enough for most landings IIRC, reverse could be used taxiing, but you had to hold steering tiller or noseheel geometry would cause a rather abrupt pirouette.


Taking all the seats out at end of day, to make ready for night freight work, then reversing this in the small hours...

Ours ( G- reg) had the lever forward of thrust levers to depress for reverse too btw, you could just about depress it with a dextrous middle finger..
found a photo on t'web ; I've 'arrowed' to reverse interlock lever, ahead of throttles and below emergency hydraulics red handle.

I was trying to remember what was which, to the point of trying to remember which side the fueley parked the tanker-no luck. All the 330's and 360's I flew had the finger-actuated reverse interlock lever-Carenado have it shown in the correct position, but not operational-can't work out why
