    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.

Nice! But 45$? The price could be a little lower, I see that they dont want to save the wallet of users :biggrin-new: however I have not seen Hellcat from very long time in whatever simulator so it must be purchased by me of course.

btw. do you have any idea what is a carrier? Hellcat without WW2 carrier is like beer without carbon dioxide plus hot drink :encouragement:.

Keep in mind that in US dollars, that about $30. My actual charged amount was $30.49 and from about an hour flying her this AM, she's more than worth that. :)

I see 45 and they arent AU$ I suppose: https://i.imgur.com/ZWpWZEs.jpg. 30 it's very good level. Maybe I'll wait when it will be in the other stores (like Just Flight for example).

Edit. confirmed - 45 but AU, so near 30USD. Good! :wavey:
 
Started on a FAA repaint (D-day), question for the purists among us here :)

What is the best estimate of the colour of the outline of the Squadron code?
Or were there different colours?

would these not be the original colors, from the paint below the stripes?

edit: in the Dutch Profile on Dutchies in the FAA, they show yellow outlines

Jan Kees.. She's a looker alright ! :applause: (great spinning prop image for one thing !)

So no '3D prop' ??....

I have read/heard that the flightmodel was created 'outside' of the MS/Asobo config., i.e. completely independent ? Do you notice anything in that direction ?

Thanks !

Is that your first repaint already ??... Looks great ! :encouragement:

"Only" the tailwheel dynamics are totally newly designed so you have a real free-castering tailwheel.

Bought this model early this morning, looks and flies great! The engine sounds are also excellent. Some of the best money I have spent on a FS2020 model so far.

There's a currency selector at the top-right of the page, so you have a choice of three different Dollars, plus Pounds and Euros.

No its something new, above you can find the screenshot how it was before. It was my idea (I talked with FI on FB) and they improved the website very quickly Today :). Now its very clear for all. :wavey:
 
With just under 3 hours flight time in her so far, she's easily moved way up in my current hanger favorites ranking. She looks fantastic and seems well thought out, making for an interesting aircraft to spend the day in. So much so, I've added FI's P-38 to my maybe buy list based on how much quality went into this F6F.
