    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.

John-

I keep searching for something with an FDE in the realm of the Sibwings An-2... Is the Wilga (Aerosoft?) a GREAT flyer? The VC looks good!

Ta!

I like it, and would say that it's a medium-plus flight model with some pro's and con's listed below. It's a fun aircraft to jump from small airfields, but a little below the An-2 in fidelity.

+ Aerodynamic values in the .air are in the 'plausible' range, so it doesn't suffer too much from overdamped 'flight on rails' that hampers some MSFS models
+ Good innate pitch-power response on approach (good approach behavior is high level importance for me).

- Model seems overly docile in most secondary flight responses (p-factor, adverse yaw, etc), but maybe the real aircraft is that way
- Inadequate trim on approach, so the nose is constantly dropping unless you fly fast (easy to fix fix!).

~ No (apparent) post-stall behavior, so normal flight is where you should stay
 
Blind Bat and Yellowbird

Yellowbird, Blind Bat. Flares away. We are egressing to the left to resume left orbit. You are cleared hot onto target. Egress to the right and resume right orbit. Bail Out heading 090.

Blind Bat, Yellowbird, We have the flares. Rolling hot onto target now. Will egress to the right and resume right orbit. Bail Out heading 090.

I'm still messing with the 2048 res Paint Kit for the XB-70 which is probably less than useful since there were only 2 planes....and about 2 variations of scheme for each....
...but 'tis fun fiddling all the same...;)
What is a late paint of the first one [after the midair of the second]...;)
