    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.

Not sure I'd call it a bug or what but apparently the camera in the cockpit doesn't stay fixed (to the proper head position, I should say) when the cargo door opens and the aircraft kneels. I've spent the last 15-20m trying to figure out why, in the middle of working a new checklist, I was slowly ascending! The camera stays put in the original position while the aircraft kneels around it. Kinda spooky.
 
One of these days, I may learn to fly her, but for now, my donation is in too - Слава Україні!
 
Trim is overly sensitive. Mucho pitch sensitivity. Ground handling seems too quick on turns. Would have liked a more asymetrical main gear up animation. Thrust reverse does not appear to slow the aircraft down. Not all labeling changes to english.
 
yeah it appears the "english labels" options only changes the annunciator lights and the autopilot panel to english.

also yeah the pitch trim is wildly quick for such a large control surface, hopefully they turn down the control speed in the next patch.
Honestly my biggest complaint is how much FPS the plane chews up, but hopefully there will be optimization passes coming soon.
 
Regarding the trim, just tap the assigned butting, do not hold in the button. It is too sensitive but that was how I mitigated the issue.

Tried that early on. There is no trim setting fine enough to keep the aircraft in level flight. The only way seemed to be the autopilot.
