    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.

That whole set is amazing. Wow. -d

Thanks dvj. I also edited the Roughmets in this one as well. Just to my own preference. Nothing too exhaustive. Is there a paint kit for this by any chance? Anyone know?
 
I just uploaded this paint, here and on flightsim.to.
Could you check it out and see what you think of the shine? Too much/not enough/just right?

there's more on the way, but I'll await your comments first
 
a few that are in the pipeline:
Jan, I use to fly the Goose to Catalina when I was a kid. It will be nice to have that paint scheme to fly back to Catalina. Good work and looking forward to the Catalina livery. Tom
 
I've yet to re-download with the latest fixes and I see new repaints are coming online... Has the mirrored wing been fixed (i.e. each wing can be painted independently)?
 
A little more refinement of the Roughmets...around the engines especially.

Looking good. Maybe a touch too matte on the exhaust, but only a smidge. Bloody great work and something I was going to do for the next update. But as mentioned, with proper credit could we use your COMP files?
 
Great Plane!

Just downloaded the Goose...flies great in 1.12.13...
....looks great too....I note: using my XBox controller,
there is a lot of "vibration" using my stock setting (22)
under "Accessibility"...of course, this can be turned off; the
water landing effect is not so realistic (at least to me); and,
sometimes the windshield exhibits a lot of reflection (opacity?)
on a bright, sunny day...

Overall, right now probably the best freeware plane for MSFS
hands down!...can't wait for you to get the instruments working...

Congratulations on a great job!

Happy New Year...

Thanks for the kind words.

Xbox controller vibration is a known issue and well look at that for release.

There are no effects currently due to Sim limitations.

We've also had reports of the glass reflections so we'll be looking at them also.

Only instruments not working is the Radio Stack.

Happy flying.
 
Ah man, I had heard of a Goose conversion, but I didn't realize it was the OZ one! Never flew it much in FSX but I thought it was a pretty darn excellent upgrade for it the few times I did fly. Glad to see you lot take the time to fix it up, gonna be the first aircraft download I make for this sim since launch.

So thank you!
