    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.

Dash 7 Teaser

It's Alive!!!

From the Pilot's FB page, posted today, roughly 1300 GMT:

After many months of continued development and refinement of the basic Dash 7 delivered to PILOT'S by SWS, PILOT'S is very pleased to announce that the release of the Dash 7 for MSFS is now imminent. If all goes according to plan and there are no major last minute hiccups, the Dash 7 will be available at the PILOT'S Web Store this coming weekend.

The Dash 7 will feature various real world liveries as well as optional equipment, such as the Working Title GNS 530. A specific model with built-in support for the GTNXi will also be available upon release.


With valuable input and assistance from Air Tindi, the current largest active operator of real world Dash 7 aircraft, custom sounds and unique elements and features have also been built into the PILOT'S Dash 7. One such unique feature is the nose wheel gear doors slowly opening after the engines are shut down with the subsequent hydraulic pressure drop.


Make sure you monitor www.pilots.shop from the coming Friday not to miss the release. If you do not yet have an account, please create one.

I hope it will be as good as their Boeing Clipper and half as good as the promo music. LOL

It'll need to be 100 times better than the music. Same old generic 'O Fortuna' clone - has nobody any imagination any more ? ;-)

Aside from that, I'm looking forward to the Dash 7; it's been a long time coming.
 
I originally planned to start Christmas shopping in 3-4 weeks.

Well, don't think I will be able to stick w that.
 
Definitely needs to be better than the Clipper. SWS actually modeled this as far as I know, and PILOTS put in the avionics and is publishing it. Should be a decent addon hopefully!
 
The release announcement reply from this thread has been split to a fresh thread. Please continue there.

(It's easier to have a new thread than to try to scroll down an existing one for purchase info...)
