  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

I'd have to agree too many Huey's, Bells. I went MI17 as the EC725 Caracal wasn't in the mix.
 
I agree, I have 3 UH1 types.

A "Hip" will compliment my collection nicely.

But the 430 is in lead at this stage.
 
just, the bell 430 is a 222 on skids :banghead:

we need something different than the usual bells that we have had for the past 10 yrs

Ive seen posts that the gazelle mob are making a mi 17, after my experiences with their previous release, I will keep clear of that

plus theres 1000000s of mi 17 schemes
 
Oh my word yes.. I agree with that.. ALL of that:encouragement: Perhaps if all members here are kind enough to go and vote for the Mi17.. we'll be in with a chance:ernaehrung004:

Other Thoughts

Would love to see someone do a detailed AH-1G Model Cobra (Vietnam Era) and/or an YAH-56 Cheyenne Prototype (for something really different!).

Would purchase both immediately.
 
Had hoped for some form of expansion pack for the H-60, I do agree regarding the Huey and thought the Mi-17 would be different, plus there is room for Tacpack. Maybe they can model missing bolts and safety wire, to really make the user second guess flying her.

I agree 100% about the G model Cobra. Don't really care about the -56 personally. But, I've wanted a G model cobra for a while now.
 
Humm, a couple of weeks ago, milviz asked a question at the hovercontrol site , and asked for a vote on how many people would like to see a newer version of the ch53 stallion, a lot of people voted yes. They had also asked a simmiler question a few months past if anyone would be interested in a new cobra. Everyone said yes but they said no tacpac or anything complicated . And that was it. I'm hip to a new ch53 with better visuals and realism. We flew those a lot in the Corps. Only rode in a 46 once. The 53 is huge and powerful and loud. Just like the jar heads liked it. It was motivating when those birds came in to pick u up. You knew no one was gonna mess with you lol. Besides it's a beautiful Helo .

Everyone wanted a Cobra, but not tacpacked ??
And nothing complicated ?
Heck, why don't they simply fly the freeware Cobra and let the TacPack lovers finally get a decent modern military attack copter ? I would have loved to see Milviz model a TacPack Cobra... and then moving over to an Apache ! But I'm just day-dreaming, I guess... :very_drunk:

Can't get any newer than the CH-53K King Stallion that the Marines/Sikorsky are testing now. Three times the capability of the older CH-53E!

Have you checked the price tag dangling from the scissor link on the gear? Something like $140 mil per copy.
 
I wanted to vote for something I would like to fly but all they seam to have is helicopters, which I never learned the trick of flying.
