    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.

It will be available here.
Still have a few things to do. The package will include four folders.
1. New spinning prop textures that affect all repaints.
2. New COMP files that affect all repaints.
3. The Sun-Moon repaint depicted above.
4. New interior seat textures that affect all repaints.
I am also debating adding a second repaint, exactly as above but in Red.

Stay tuned.

Well, it looks like beautiful work, and she'd look pretty in red, too. Thanks. The new prop and interior will be much appreciated as well.

Two years have passed and after fixing the flight performance of both the Cessna A37B and the T37B .... I am off to do the impossible rework the flight dynamics of the MU-2.
Down the road I might/will need a few brave people to test the outcome.
As time permits I will keep you informed.

Count me in. I had a lot of experience with the old Flysimware version.

Hopefully this time we will include all the performances issues the MU-2 was notorious for..like heavy torque effect, which causes the plane to roll towards the left, and the need to continuously trim her out (like in real life). All this is already there..just having to smooth things out a bit more.. probably a couple of weeks before I will need those few brave souls.

I am getting close to releasing a MU-2K performance beta. Sorry for the late update, but have been reverse engineering the flight_model, Engines.cfg files. I opted to leave the Systems.cfg out and use the one developed by Inibuilt.
It has been a formidable effort, but now a fuel working system is available. Still need to tune up ground performance and add better Stol performance. Working on tuning back torque effect, and smoothing out flight performance...I now have max TAS of 310-317kts.
BTW all flight tuning is being done with all assist turned off to provide real world performance.
There is still a bit to go, but hopefully will have some to show with in the next two weeks.
I also hope to clean up the older textures and provide a new one as well.
More to come short.

Guys rest assured she will be a handful as stated by a friend who own the newer version. The MU-2K was a bit harder to manually handle..and that is my intention.
While in 2020 the copilot will help, In 2024 once off the ground if you want to rest you will have to engage autopilot.
 
I am finishing the documentation..and need to fine tune the torque effect. With that said I expect to get the file to the people that agreed to test her by no later than next week.
 
Will have the MU-2 ready for Beta testing tomorrow afternoon central time USA after I finish documentation. If you are still interested in a short beta testing please send me a email to jimsgoldman(at)gmail.com so I can send you a link.
Best
Jim

Since this is a public forum and known-good emails are like gold to harvesters, I've broken your email link. You might consider using PM's for beta distribution. Just a suggestion...
 
I flew it today with the Garret sounds from the Azurpoly OV-10 Bronco. Very immersive and my dog loves it.
Now we only need the modified flight model.
