    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.

The new HS 748 Propliner is now available from JustFlight and it's a beauty:

If the actual aircraft is a beauty or not can be discussed. :) (these engines are huge)
But I agree that the Justflight version looks very sharp and well done. That Mount Cook livery is really nice.

So has this release been tested and proven before going out on the market? I have learned to wait and sometimes month for bugs to be fixed. I´m on the waiting list for the BAC 1-11 for example.
 
We intend to release a demo of the 1-11 and HS 748 shortly to allow you to 'try before you buy' :encouragement:
 
The demo is a nice addition.
That model looks quite cool I have to say. There are only two things I didn't like so much in the video:
1- the engine start: these props start turning faster than a piston engine... not sure if it's supposed to be that fast...
2- the canopy windows are milky. From the outside, the cockpit is supposed to look very dark, not very clear like in these shots.
For comparison:

Hi ya Daube .. don't forget , your looking at a photo with a lense that will distort colour from a distance and ground heat swell and atmospheric conditions , that dose change the picture hugely.

That video was posted before release and was created using a beta build. The prop animation at startup and shutdown has been slowed down since then.

A new video should be available soon.
 
Thanks for the head-up about the demos. I will wait patiently and try them when they are finished.
I hope you wait with the 1-11 demo untill the autopilot has been fixed.

Very valid remark indeed, it's an element that shouldn't be underestimated. Very often especially in very sunny weather, the camera lenses might produce an exagerated contrast that make the interior of the cockpit almost invisible, you're right.

However, I have spent a fair amount of time near and inside aiports watching real airplanes and I'm quite used to how it should look like.
Such milky windows and clear interiors are not something you can see in real life... excepted by night, with interior flood lights on maybe ;)
 
Since Daube has led us (yet again) straight into Nitpick County:

- Switch sounds?
- Custom variable load/save functionality?
- Working wipers?
- Rain on windshield?
- Engine damage?
- VAS usage?
 
Well, Martyn does hang out here, sooo...

But anyway, cross-checking with the feature list and eliminating wishful thinking, only the item dealing with VAS usage remains.
 
Thanks Martyn. Last time I checked a couple of days ago it hadn't been uploaded. Now I know where to look for them I just roll with the flow.
 
We've just updated the paint kit to address a few issues reported on our forum. You can download the latest version from the same support page.
 
Hello Gentlemen,

I was wondering if someone who is great at aircraft.cfg files could maybe help me out? I seem to be getting no help from Just Flight!

I would like my F-12 key to work as my "top-down view" as per a lot of aircraft I have installed and many JF aircraft too. For some reason my F-12 key for this aircraft comes up with this view (see below)

What would I need to do in my aircraft.cfg file to make F-12 as "top-down view" please and remove this awful view?

Regards,
Tim.
