  • 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.

For each aircraft that i want modeled, I collect always the most of documentation I find.
For the Canso, I have find and also buy (AviaLogs)1.56 Go of documentations (Handbook, Manual, Specifications, Walk-around, Flight Operation Instructions).

By taking for example the document : PFB-June-2020-Handbook2.pdf (PACIFIC FLYING BOATS LTD.CANSO FLIGHT OPERATIONS HANDBOOK), I can read this. The hydraulic pump is well on the right engine and the procedure is clearly explicit: the right engine is started first (pump).

The conventions of Microsoft or US Conventions mean that when using the CTRL+E commands, the start is always done by engine 1 first which does not correspond to reality.
That’s why I took this approach to this plane, not wanting to recode the CTRL+E controls (and not knowing it when I started).
As this numbering goes beyond the engines and also touches all the controls propellers, primer, cowl flapts etc ... everything has been numbered in this direction.

Going back is a very big job (quite risky in case of error) that I would not do.

For the further development of Canso, I would write my posts following the official post I had created:
