  • 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.

June 6, 2024 i.e. C-47/CG-4A

There is an excellent freeware D-day scenery by Jeppesen2001 available at TwoToneMurphy's site
You have to register but it's worth it :)
 
Wow, thanks! Hadn't seen that site before and along with some cool files, looks like they have a fun flying community! Registered and will be checking it out in more detail.
 
Thanks for the D-Day scenery link - I see preset weather when loading Normandy but not sure what else is there?
For a change, everything worked as advertised: the C-47 manfully hauled the Waco to a fair altitude



then waggled its wings, and I was able to find the cable release (Above your head!) Wheels were disposed of, click-spot sort of just down from there.



We actually visited Normandy at the end of May, and this had a profound effect on me, I had not fully appreciated the scale of the 1944 operation. I have spent countless hours reading online, Youtube, even watched Saving Private Ryan again.
The mind simply boggles.



Above is over the D-Day landing beaches.

If the D-day scenery is active you will know it, you will hear it before you see it. And you will see it even at night...
Not historically accurate but well worth persevering with. From memory it's Utah beach.
