    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.

Fouga is out

Okay, I remarked uptopic that I wasn't interested enough in this particular plane to buy a payware version when the excellent (for freeware) Restauravia version exists.

Then it went on sale this week on the Marketplace for $12.49. I had $10 in credit from Bing Rewards, so what the heck, for $2.49...

WOW. What a beautifully rendered model. The cockpit looks nice but the exterior detail's just wonderful. Sound's really nice.

As this is written (April 10, 2022) it's $12.49 on the MS Marketplace, and you can download an add-on from the Azurpoly website to enable weapons on the Marketplace model. Killer deal!
 
17 ozzie $ on Orbx for those who've been bitten by the marketplace.

How much better is the cockpit than the freeware version? Particularly in VR :)

Also, how do I find out how much Bing reward I have? Do I just try to pay using it?
 
I deleted the freeware one a while back, but everything here is a level of detail up. More importantly, the handling just feels more... Real. I haven't flown a Fouga-class plane IRL, but the handling just feels legit.

To see your Bing Rewards level, just go to rewards.bing.com. Between Bing searches and doing the weekly challenges on Xbox, I've gotten all the Asobo planes for free, and a couple of others as well. Paid $2.49 for the Fouga thanks to my $10 credit. :)

Thanks, I signed up but I think it will be a while before I have enough points to buy anything, no worries, next time :)
