    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.

Is it possible to add an AP to the Dark Star?

I'm not sure what we can do with MSFS content so I thought I would ask. If the airplane actually existed it would most likely be flown by autopilot above M=2.5 or 3. I can fly it OK, but I have to fly the trim at top speed. I'll also have to see if the flight controls can be coded in such a way that over 2.5 the JS becomes a rate controller. I would tie it to the autopilot such that neutral would keep it level and on heading. Pitch up and pitch down would be Vs rate inputs, such that max deflection would equal max rate for a given speed. Using just the JS in bank would change the AP heading. That would be my ultimate goal anyway. It would also allow for more crisp handling (Better responsiveness) at low speeds, instead of behaving like a cruise ship in the pattern.
