  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Handley Page Hampden Version 2 Update

No idea what's going on at PC Aviator. No response to my email from almost a week ago, and sales that were supposed to end July 11th are still running. Maybe everyone's on holiday...?
 
I have to say that I'm disappointed in PC Aviator.

I've emailed them twice regarding the Upgrade since I bought the Hampden on 6 July. And have yet to receive a reply on that subject.

Yet they obviously have my details, as there has been no shortage of emails (7 to date!) from them promoting various products and deals.
 
Still awaiting a response from FlightSim Store. I got an ad email from them the other day showing their new products and the Hampden was advertised. I thought "Yes, now the update should be available". I went to my downloads and downloaded the installer, and it was still the old version. I then looked at the product they were advertising as the "new" Virtavia Handley Page Hampden for FSX and saw the installer size was different to my existing version.

They have taken the upgraded version and are advertising it as a new product, and it is twice the price of the original 2004/FSX version, which is still also available. From what I read earlier in this post, the new version is not a new FSX model at all and is a reworking of the same 2004 model.
 
It is FsX native, but the basic model is still the old Fs9 version. If you can't obtain the free update from your vendor, contact Phil at Virtavia (tech.support -at- virtavia.com) with your purchase information.
 
I took Ferry's advice and emailed Phil at tech support Virtavia. Got an answer back within a couple of hours, with a link to the upgrade.
Gotta luv the service! :)

So if anyone is still waiting for their vendor to get back to them, don't bother. Contact Virtavia. That's where the Service is.

Good to know Pips, I've been distracted with the new C47 release, but waiting to hear from PCAviator now nearly a month after Virtavia released the upgrade . . . hmmm (?!)
 
I added some additional external views to supplement the default views.
