    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.

MAAM HH-52 Seaguard Project?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of the MAAM simulator projects were officially killed off some time ago.
 
The MAAM DC-3 (actually an R4D-6) was first modeled for FS2000, upgraded for FS2002 and then extensively reworked and made payware for FS2004. It has since been further ported over to FSX. It is a really nice model, but is a bit dated. While still offered for sale, it has limited technical support.

Manfred Jahn's C-47 v3.14 is Native FSX and works fine in P3D v4. It is a worthy successor to the MAAM R4D-6, and is freeware.

Try it, it's here in the SOH Library, as well as about everywhere else. There are even two very nice MAAM R4D-6 repaints available for Manfred's C-47 v3. It is also very well supported as a current ongoing project! I have all versions of the MAAM R4D-6 and also fly Manfred's C-47.

That aside, I also would appreciate an FSX version of the Sikorsky HH-52A.

I do not remember reading about this. Does anyone have information about what happened to this project? It really looked promising!!

It certainly was !

The more if you take into account that it was the very first digital model work by the developer, Ron Hagen, who became a good friend. But azflyboy is right, when we closed doors, Ron's HH-52 project came to a halt as well.

Mind you, he contacted us (Maam-Sim) just because MAAM has a HH-52 Seaguard in its collection. Later on Ron decided to join us so it would become an original Maam-Sim product. Somewhere around that time Hansi, who was going to do the programming, also disappeared so the future of Ron's HH-52 project started to looked bleak already.

IIRC Ron had a traveling job, we were in contact very much off and on and i did not hear from him again after Maam-Sim closed doors. Keep a sharp look out, it may just so happen that Ron found another programmer and might still be working on his beloved HH-52 pet project.

cheers,
jan
