    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.

Thanks so much for this, @DaveWG! Absolutely brilliant work, and what a package!

For the folks having throttle problems, a recent sim update broke some throttles. The solution that fixes things without requiring you to change joystick profiles depending on planes is to map both "Throttle" and "Throttle 1" (and "Throttle 2" through "...4") to your joystick throttle axis. (Assuming you only have a single throttle access.) You can have multiple things mapped to a single axis, so this solves the problem even for planes that haven't yet been updated to fix the issue.
 
And now make a right turn, lower flaps and gear and land in Alpnach ;)
I love how many pilots fly this piece of art in and out of the reduit airfields in Switzerland. Yesterday I intercepted another Hunter above the Vierwaldstättersee and we flew together back to Altenrhein, where IRL Hunters were being maintained and even today there's still one Hunter based there and operated by the FMA. two years ago there were 3 Hunters (HB-RVP/ex J-4205, HB-RVV/ex J-4206 and HB-RVU/ex J-4086) based and active but the VU has been sold and the VV has been taken out of active duty last year.
Really looking forwards to the Hunterfest in St Stephan in August, I hope to get some decent shots of the Papyrus for a high fidelty repaint.
