    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.

GKS B-52H On Marketplace

The good and bad. First, the modeling is excellent. The sounds are good. The systems are reasonably modeled for sim usage. The crab-gear wheel animation works but the physics to crab-walk taxi the model are not modeled as far as I can tell. Now the bad (just the things I spotted). There is no engine smoke when there should be a lot with power-on. The pitch moments seem reasonably accurate for a heavy jet, the roll rate is too high and the feel too touchy considering there are no ailerons, the roll is by spoiler only. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this by user interface because the model is through Marketplace and the flight dynamics are hard-coded. Maybe GKS will fix it?

The developer has started a semi-official thread for this release at the "official" forum.

 
There was an update today but now it seems worse than before. Elevator still ineffective at 150kts and below. The roll rate is still too high. Also, the flap and parachute handles rock back and forth uncommanded. I hope they get it squared away but I think any performance and effects work will end up being 3rd party.
