    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.

Looks really nice! Do you have idea who did it? Asobo or any 3th part dev?

After this little "field discovery" this summer at the Junkers Hangar I really thought this might be a worthy addition for MSFS.

BTW: this old crate was most likely part of the the Rimowa project.

Great news and concerning the developer it will be on level with the Ju52. Looking forward to this one.

Here are two of the newly-manufactured examples flying today (both photographed last month - in Switzerland, and at Oshkosh):



 
Pit that they did it again :( - why they cant learning it I dont know ....

1/ again no era pilot but dude with baseball cap
2/ again this very poor animation of propeller

it spoils the total effect. Ehhhh .... :dejection:
 
Downloaded yesterday and only had a short flight.

Yep, those propdiscs look "as usual":banghead: and for a vintage crate it seems to handle a bit too agile and effortlessly. But that´s just from a very short impression. Overal it looks good and I am very pleased to have it. (Propably would give an arm and a leg for a flight in the Rimowa replica:)

On a sidenote: Also installed the germany update and took a first look at Düsseldorf (my nek of the woolds) and I am rather disappointed with the 3D bridges there. Not as blocky as usual, but completely deprived of an structural suspension bridge detail. Missing cablestructure etc. The bridges within 3D-Cities are - at least for me - one of the weakest points with MSFS scenery. They should put some more work into it and provide modelled bridges in those areas.

Update: the vintage version is realy nice and handles more believable. The radial powered replica feels rather fast and nimble.

The modeling of the interior aircraft structure is superb.

When will Microsoft / Asobo find out that the World didn't start around 1950 and the pilots weren't wearing a baseball cap earlier? :biggrin-new:
Model is really nice ... but no era pilot of course. :(

For a $15 airplane, I think I can overlook that.

Yes, it would be nice to see some pilot figures that are more representative of different eras, and different countries too. Perhaps Asobo will make 3rd-party pilots possible at some point.
