    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.

Just Flight Tornado GR1 for MSFS

Was very impressed with the JF Hawk, pretty disappointed in Dino's F-35 and Su-31, so this one is an easy decision for me.

Unless SimSkunkWorks bring their Tornado over after they finish their SF.260... :dizzy:
 
This is an easy one for me, Dino's. Totally impressed with his F-35, given the limited info available on it and I've loved everything thing they've done, given the limitations of MSFS so far. Having said that, there's always room for two. If JF ever brings the F3, my favorite Tornado, to MSFS, I'll be sure to get it.
 
Whilst I agree, I think having the competition pushes the developers to make the models better with better systems etc. Not a bad thing.
 
In theory you are correct.
In reality, there is no competition at all.
JustFlight will just release its Tornado first, and they will make most of the sales.
Dino will release it later, and it won't matter if it's good or not, most of the sales will be already gone.

Competition would be a nice thing if editors would all sell at the same time.
In our sim world, at least for MSFS, competition means just destruction.
The example of Dino is a good one:
- he wouldn't get much from his Tomcat, because most of the potential customers already bought the one from Deano.
- he wouldn't get much sales from his Eurofighter, because most of the potential customers already bought the one that is in the market.
- not sure if he would like to bring his G-91 from DCS to MSFS... maybe he won't because SSW already has a very nice one sold to the potential customers.
- etc...

Of course, in the case of the Eurofighter, the "other" model is said to be of terrible quality, so customers who bought it may eventually want to buy Dino's one as well when it appears.
But what if the "currently available" model is already quite nice ? Who will spend the money AGAIN for another model ?
I may be a little bit pessimistic here, but I feel like it would be much better for our developers if they wouldn't conflict, at least in this initial phase...
 
I'm a huge Justflight fan, but for jets, I prefer get in and fly aircraft. So I'll wait for Dino's.

I think Dino's will be mostly Italian variants ... I need the RAF so will go with JF :)
So hopefully both will get plenty of sales...
 
The Tornado is no F-35 or F-14, I would imagine the market for a Tornado is enthusiasts and enthusiasts will buy both if they are both good. I love my Warbirdsim P-51 collection just as much as I do my A2A Mustang and I am glad I have both because they offer different experiences. What a shame it would have been if either developer had looked at the others offering and said "I think I'll do something else".
