    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.

Long Range Biz Jet...

A couple of weeks ago, a freeware "Long Range Biz Jet) was released at .TO. Now it's been out, a few paint jobs are appearing as well. It's called a long range jet because it has some large oval cabin windows and some other "distinctive" things. It also comes in both 650 and 750 "Sizes"... (Hint-Hint)
 
Ooooooohhhhhhh?? G - something you say??

Hmmmm.... no pics of the cockpit and no ratings so far. Think I'll pass for now.
 
Well, it's free, so that only thing you're losing is time if you don't like it. If it's the one I just found, there are two not-so-great flight deck shots that look like something out of FS2002, but with surface reflections. The exterior modeling is only a little more detailed.

But again, it's free, so if absolutely everything else is out of your budget, it might be a viable alternative.
 
I stayed with the freeware port of the Iris Global (mainly wanted an E-11), it's functional and looking at the pics of this one about the same.
 
Yeah, it's on a par with the Global. A few more switches in the cockpit and it has no visible pilots. The auto throttle/speed control doesn't really work. Exterior looks nice though... I prefer the Global...
