    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.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Utilities

Description: This V2 package contains a custom autopilot and two GCA (Ground Controlled Approach) gauges: Approach Pattern Control (APC) and Precision Approach Radar (PAR). You can request Pattern Control from 20 to 30 miles out, and the Approach Controller will set you up for a downwind, dogleg, or straight-in approach, leading to an intercept point from which to start the final descent. At the intercept point, the PAR Controller will take over and talk you down until over the runway. The GCA processes can be run in auto or in manual mode, allowing various realism challenges. The project is highly indebted to Karol Chlebowski's AILA (Airborne Instrument Landing Approach) gauge, adapted by permission of the author, and Doug Dawson's sound DLL gauge.

FS9-specific modifications by Tom Gibson, historical research by Tom Harnish, GCA gauges and manual by Manfred Jahn.

Any older version will have to be removed/uninstalled for this one to work, but otherwise installation is faster and more economical.

Changes from V1 include:

- FS9 compatibility
- some new soundbites: APC to identify planned approach type (straight-in or downwind)
- intercept distance settable from 6 to 12 miles
- better APC > PAR handover
- more detailed AP readouts and functions
- revised PDF Manual
