    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.

The AVROs are extremely detailed. For instance check the welds on the exhaust....

Is this available for us mere mortals? Or is it still beta?

Huub, the first time I've seen this picture was the cover page of an Airfix magazine, long years ago...

I think it was the picture Airfix used for the introduction of the B-26 model. They had a picture of the real aircraft and of the model placed above each other at the same background. The repaint by JanKees looks more like the real thing than too glossy Airfix model did :biggrin-new:

Thanks for bringing back these memories,

FINALLY!! got my Avro's from Nigel

After FS crash issues.. then dropbox problems.. and thanks to Nigel for kindly resending me the files... I have the beta Avros... FINALLY!!!

Loving this airplane.. and have been informed by the man himself today that if I like this.. well.. the finished product will please me... (I'm putting his words mildly... LOL)

HAD to play around with the textures... it's my 'thing'.... and what a joy to fly. Pulling on my "real world" biplane flying experience, flying this little beauty was no issue at all.. Handles as I expect she should.. and will embarrass you with some unwildly bounces if you don't get the touchdown just right... AS IT SHOULD as a trainer!!

So, here we are, high above the UK countryside, on a typical summer day.... REAL WORLD flying doesn't get any better than this!

Avro 621 over Morocco.

An hour southwest of Cassablanca at 4000' flying my Avro 621 Trainer from Lossiemouth to the Canaries.. (one ore fuel stop should do it) and maybe then further south along the African coast.

Better weather than I started this 'adventure' in four days ago!

Many stops along the way as she only has a 275 mile range!

Hey.. if you are going to help test an airplane.. take it for a REAL spin! LOL

Whole sky to myself too. :)

I'm aiming for a circumnavigation of the greater Sahara, then back up the Suez Canal, to Cairo or maybe across Iraq to Habbaniya.
