  • 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.

Heinkels emerge from the paint shop

The animation for the seat was a nightmare to work out. So many rods, levers and swivels. The complete rudder pedal unit with all its complexities must raise up and down also and of course, the column and yoke which is chain driven. Making it go up and down wasn't too bad but getting it all to stay level as it rises was another story...

I find it interesting that although virtually all the nose is glazed, there is so much stuff in there that one's forward vision is quite obscured. And if you have a busy nose gunner/bomb-aimer darting about in front of you it must have been even worse. I have an English RAF manual written on the Heinkel (for RAF pilot prison escapees in case they wanted to steal one to get home!) that reckons that the raised position might want to be used for most flying conditions, even at 200 mph. Obviously written by somebody with a lot of bi-plane experience! :engel016:
 
The definition of coming soon is exactly that. Coming - as in appearing or releasing, soon - as in shortly. If your idea of shortly is different to ours then that is something that you'll need to manage.
