    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.

First pictures of the PMDG DC-6 for MSFS!

Straight passenger, or will a freighter version be part of the package? Hoping for an Everts Air scheme.

Freighter (DC-6A) included. If I recall correctly, PMDG offered at least one Everts paint for the FSX and P3D versions. I'd expect the same here. I'm sure the painters will come through with more.
 
One of the advantages of belonging to this community, is the amazing talent pool of artists that gather at the virtual water cooler.... there will soon be several Everts' liveries... the "Blue Canoe" Evert's Fuel version is my personal favorite..

Now, IMAGINE THIS in the NEW SIM!

I believe he was referring to the part of the story where I wrote- Henning the FE considered the aeroplane HIS and only allowed the Prima Donna Pilots up front with big watches to “borrow” the aircraft for short periods of time. Henning was instrumental in surveying the original this simulation is based on.

Aha, Ok! Sure i know about Henning, also that many a flight engineer considers the plane his and that pilots better 'watch out' not to upset him and his plane. That;s why they wear those big watches no doubt. :)


It was a subtle reference to the story, I appreciated

@Jan -

Thanks! Glad to be hanging out in your neighborhood. I'm still around - left the Avsim and A2A forums but I stop by here and post on the MSFS forum as well.

We did indeed have great times. And I'll always be grateful to you for pulling me into yours and Manfred's project. Fantastic experience - and I hope I was able to contribute even if it was only in a fringe kind of way.

Speaking of fantastic experiences - that DC-6 can't get here soon enough.

Am already planning flights...

Hi Alan,

Yes, this is truly a dream come true of the 'hard to believe' kind, isn't it. The PMDG 6 was sort of a wonder already in FSX/P3D but what we're about to get our dirty hands on now will no doubt prove to be the undisputed pinnacle of propliner simulation we've ever had the nerve to dream about ! :biggrin-new:

Certainly waiting for AH's 3 too of course. Awfully quiet on the A2A front, isn't it. I still remember the guessing game that led us to their amazing Connie. That was great fun! Will they do it again, that's the question.

Still unclear if we'll ever get to gather up in Manfred's hangar about anything MSFS related (last time we talked he even had no hangar, but times and things can change (ask Bob Dylan) and always look on the bright side of life (ask Monty Python). That's my motto. :wink:

Once things DO change indeed i'll know where to find you, Alan, and thanks very much for your friendship !

cheers,
jan

It has been - and continues to be - my pleasure!

I do stop by the beta forum every couple of days, just to see if there's anything going on. I got the impression from Manfred that he was stepping back and leaving it to the rest of us - which, if so, is understandable, given how complex all things MSFS are turning out to be.

If things to pick up, I'd hope to find out there - but of course you can feel free to track me down here as well.

At least we've got our six incoming.

And Capt. Randazzo keeps dropping hints about how he knows a guy who owns a DC-3...

Now, wouldn't it be a fine thing to have a pair of PMDG Douglas propliners?

I can... and will... dream on...
 
Alan- we are devolving into a society that utters voluminous rubbish in hashtags. Fortunately, I missed THAT boat.

Glad you're enjoying the Six... soon you will have her in your hands, our fantastic SOH artists will get out their brushes, and the aviation world will be just like it was in the Fifties again ;)

Santa Barbara to Jackson Hole this morning, and the light was soft and lovely

Notice the now operational sliding interlock that allows for field barometric setting (30" MAP) on 1 & 2 but not on 3 & 4. Once the left side is tested, just slide it over to the other side for the right side tests.

Ripping out of SBA at 50/2800 before power comes back to METO (Everts uses a max dry of 50" unless needed for performance)
