    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.

Feature Discovery Series Episode 15: Helicopters

Helicopters and gliders, plus all the new freeware aircraft coming on 11th November - MSFS is the simulator I've always wanted.
 
Watched that yesterday. Looks like they did a proper job judging only on that video. The only thing that worries me a bit is that they focused so much on a piston heli with clutch.
But the way they simulate the air through the rotor gives me hope. Really looking forward to trying this.
The Airland FS behavior was quite ok but I had a lot of lagging issues with that. Only once tried one of the fake heli-aircraft and was really not convinced by that.
I am not a real heli pilot but I have some experience by now with RC helis.
