    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 hope that if this second bird exists, that it’s going to represent a different era/model (Super DC-3, anyone?)

NO!!!

Would you really like to fly with a barndoor as vertical stab, ugly gear doors, ugly stubby engine nacelles ?.... Half of the beauty of the DC-3 has been ruined here !

No, really please don't get ideas into the head of the mysterious "new DC-3 to be" developers. Let them do a proper DC-3/C-47 first before even thinking about that ugly Super DC-3. I mean, atm we have no DC-3 at all, right ? A DC-3 doesn't need to be 'Super'. The most beautiful DC-3 is just what it is, a DC-3. Leave 'Super' in the capable hands of Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster and Stan Lee.

Well, IMHO only of course, Denny, but still.. :)
 
Agreed, the Super DC-3 /C-117 was a bit of a hound to look at, but I gradually warmed to it after Manfred Jahn released his freeware one.
