  • 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.

Emerald - Pietenpol Air Camper

The YT reviews are hitting the screens - would have bought the Rara Avis Jodel but that's Marketplace only...so this will make a good alternative ...... It's being sold on their own site as well- https://emeraldscenerydesign.com/products/.


Although I hate MP only addons I will be somewhat forced to buy it there because the website version doesn't support career mode ;(

- Career support for First Flight, Ferry Flight, Flightseeing, and Light Cargo missions (Marketplace copy only).
 
Looks fantastic. This brings back hazy memories of Bill Lyon's Pietenpol included in one of his packages back in the FS9 days. Between this and the GF Taylorcraft and the much improved FF 707, there's quite a lot for vintage aircraft fans to be happy about lately!

Did it have Tundra Tires IRL?
T43
I would say it depends who built it

A nice plane for pottering about with a bit of a challenge, prefer it to the Taylorcraft I have just trialled -much more fun, but a lot of Gotfriends stuff is a little 'over hyped' in my opinion....... Don't know why this hasn't been stickied like all the other new releases?

I'm really enjoying both this and the Taylorcraft. Not gonna need any news planes for a while.

Awesome shot there @DennyA! Glad to hear that you all seem to be enjoying the Piet.

I just wrapped up the first update yesterday and sent it off to the beta team, so you all should be getting a good size update here in the near future. Lots of fixes and QoL improvements!
Nice to see the devs following this here!
