    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.

Indeed, slow, but steady progress.

Bumps completed for the Howard 500, and the 350 textures are in progress.
The 500 and 350 will be released together.

The 250 will follow the 350 as a separate project.
 
Wow, Milton! Those are some swell looking machines. I can hardly wait to run down some more Citations and Lears...:encouragement:
 
Wellis and I just wrapped up the Howard 350 and with beta testing help from WND. I'll get that uploaded in a few hours.

The Howard 500 is also about done, a few minor tweaks to make, but hope to upload tomorrow.

I just sent the Trigear and an executive custom taildragger to Wellis' paint shop yesterday.

Aaaaaaaand...I just cleared my calendar for the next few days. And ordered a few pizzas. Thanks, Mr. Shupe and team! :loyal:
 
The first flight's in the logbook! Departed HQM with a full boat and enough fuel to go wherever (I'm only equipped with a sixty minute rump, i.e. not real far). 200 knots indicated, 2,500 feet per minute uphill, and hit 4,000 feet on crosswind. Sprinted through a really wide pattern at 250 knots, let down easily and rolled her right onto the fixed distance markers with nary a chirp.

She flies great. She looks great. She sounds great.

She is great! Thanks again, Team! :applause:



Curious question: was the 350 pressurized?

Edit: Four times.
