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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

A quick video while we are getting closer and closer to the Beta version (taken in P3Dv3):

That second picture is really cool 
Concerning the first picture, could you remind me what kind of weapons are you planning to support ? I'm especially interested in the laser-guided bombs, since they remind me the good old EF2000 (DiD) days It was in 1995, a sim in which we could aim and drop a laser bomb from a virtual cockpit ! (and I think it was also possible in TFX, from two years before if I'm not mistaken...). Looking forward to do that again in P3D, 20 years later

EF2000 by DID was awesome (and so was their F22 simulator and TFX) - I've spent countless hours with ther games (including F-29)!
So far the Typhoon supports GBU-10 and GBU-12 (both will have USN colors, as they come from Tacpack) LGBs, as well as AGM-88 and GBU-31 (they are both part of the Typhoon weaponry although afaik no air force uses them with this aircraft). Storm Shadow will be present as visual loadout only (non functional).
Also, the aicraft will support AIM-9, AIM-132, IRIS-T, AIM-120 and Meteor A-A missiles (although at present AIM-132 and IRIS-T don't work due to a bug).

Dino, please ensure the aircraft can be started from cold&dark without running into troubles with typical problems such as missing avionic switches etc... The kind of problems created by the usual cold&dark default flights in which we switch everything off, including generators, avionics, radios etc... Since some planes don't have these switches, having to press CTRL+E after starting the plane is sometimes a bit frustrating

First time I see such fuel tanks on a Eurofighter.
Reminds me of the F-16
Its a Typhoon Evo
. You can notice JADM also.

Yes, I have decided to include some optional features from the "Eurofighter 2020" feature list, including JDAM, AGM-88 and CFTs. Storm Shadow will be present, too - but won't work with Tacpack (at least for the moment).
The Eurofighter consortium is indeed working on CFTs although AFAIK there is no customer order. More info here:
https://theaviationist.com/2014/04/22/eurofighter-typhoon-cft/
As for the "cold and dark" potential issues, I have to admit I often neglect these in my planes - I will have a look... as Bjoern noted, it is quite easy to implement some code that makes sure that non-existent switches are Always "on".
...then, Beta testing will strart soon - so we'll know if I screwed up something big.

...in reality these are just the first 50 pages of the manual. It will most likely exceed the 100 pages.
