  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

G'day everyone, Alex here from FlyingIron Sims.

The legendary B-17 is taking shape beautifully, and we’re thrilled with the progress our team has made on the exterior modeling so far. This iconic World War II bomber is coming along very nicely, with incredible attention to detail being paid to every rivet and panel. Over the coming months, we’ll continue providing work-in-progress images and development updates to keep you in the loop. For now, enjoy these stunning renders that showcase the aircraft’s authenticity and give you a glimpse of what’s to come!

Dang it !..... Actually I had hopes for "..over the coming weeks..." . Gonna be tough but Good Things are coming to those who wait, right !? :coffee:

She looks the bee's knees already ! Wonderful news ! Thank you very much, Alex ! 👍:cool:
 
Beauty! I was lucky enough to get a flight on the Collings Foundation's Nine-O-Nine back in the 90's and it was an amazing experience. Looking forward to this one!

I got to do that, too, up at Ross McDonald airport in Heber, Utah. It was well worth the $. The Fortress is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built, IMO. Happy to see a nice-looking version of it coming to the sim. Great renders.
 
Looks great, this one is really missing from the sim!

Patience is not easy in this case, but I am very certain that it will be well worth it.

A long way to go, but based on Flying Iron's track record, this will be breathtaking. Imagine all the repaints that will come for it - the mind boggles. Flight simming has never been better.

Agreed 100% ! 👍

[ Whisper Mode On] hold on there, Paul, dunno bout you but when i see these awesome B-17 renders i just can't help expecting kind of a similar Crew Experience as we did very much enjoy with the amazing A2A B-17 in FSX/P3D. Remember ?.... I will of course not talk about such things in the open, i wouldn't dream of rubbing Flying Iron up the wrong way, not with this extreme beauty in the pipeline anyway. Just saying.... ;-) [Whisper Mode Off]
 
I'm hoping for this paint scheme. As a small boy, she was the first Fort I ever encountered. ;)

A selfish early request for this livery, if the developers are watching! A personal connection, having flown in it ten years ago in the bomb-aimer's seat, (when I was younger and er.... fatter!).

As did I. It was the second ever Airfix model I bought. The first was the Albatross D.V.

You've gotta marvel at the artwork on that box. Evocative. Roy Cross was a genius. Imagine what he could do now, especially in Sims! :)
