    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.

Does anyone have the Cockspur Citation Mustang? (Hey it was like $3 on marketplace a while back) I like the model and cockpit but this thing is a gas hog! 10 minutes on the ground while I programed the flight plan after start, 5 minute taxi and by the time I went through 20K I'd burned half the Jet A (Started with 90% tanks and never went more than 75-80% power in the climb) Looking online it seems to be burning 20+% more than it should. In FSX/P3d I'd just start playing with the cfg settings like induced drag and fuel flow scalar. But 2020 is still a black art to me. On the flip side, I also got their Phenom 100 and it's much closer to the numbers. Decent model and cockpit. Nice, simple easy to fly and you don't need an engineering degree to figure out the swicholigy. Same for the Mustang other than the black hole fuel pumps...
 
I think I have it, but never really paid attention to burn rates. If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've only done a couple of short hops in it.
