    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.

Yes... with the incredible Super DC-3 in the books, it's time for MJ and Team to do a complete A1-Reset of the Howard 500.

The Milton project was great... but time has fractured the plane into many versions, and not all are compatible with FSX and DX10.


So I beg and Plead with the MJ team... Please... PLEASE... Start a Howard 500 project.


Why the 500? Simple. The single greatest GA aircraft of all time. 300+ knots, style, and giant ROUND engines.


Thank you for your consideration.

Hawk, I agree. It would be great to see a Howard 500 done properly for the latest sims. My original project started in 2004 and was released in 2005. Although there have been "refreshes", those patches did little to enhance the base product. So, I'm in support of anyone who loves the aircraft enough to take it on. I do have lots of reference material and data from the former pilot and restorer on the aircraft (, but unfortunately, no good 3-views,) that I would gladly share.
 
Hanging out with Capt. Harley who had flown N137U for seven years! He's building a 1/5 scale 186" wingspan model of the Howard he flew.

Notice the glue bottle (similar to a restaurant ketchup bottle) and paper towel on the floor for size comparison.
