    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.

Default '24 C408 Backported to '20 Marketplace

Tom having just got this the other day, I agree by Carenado standards, it's a bit lacking. But at $10 US I'm not gonna complain either. I didn't realize it was a default aircraft for MSFS2024. That makes a lot more sense now. It has the level of detail one would expect for a default aircraft.
 
The cockpit is nice, but on the cargo version, that's all you get unless you go into drone mode. there's no access to the cargo compartment, yet all the textures are still in use, hogging graphics resources for no reason. At least in the '24 walk-around mode you can open the cargo door and see the containers.

And I think I found a bug. When loading up the cargo weight sections in the W/B screen, the CG moves backwards so if you put much of any load in the back, you end up with a CG going way forward.

On the plus side, the pilot doors work, and the G1000 keyboard in the console works to input waypoints on the center MFD.
 
I've opened a bug thread at the official forum. Votes would help if you go there...

 
Get the few bugs sorted out, but for the price and the additional "new" cargo textures that appeared yesterday on the Marketplace, you really can't go wrong !

PS - no issue with C / G so far, although I tend to keep the loads fairly light.

Regards
