Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Manfred Jahn's freeware in MSFS ?

Yup! Just removed the posting of it over at the "other" site. It's not fair to Manfred, Milton, and the other great developers.
Appreciate that! I'm actually hoping that I can convince the team to let me help them convert it to native!

Gman has been doing the conversion for P3Dv5 by Manfred's permission so it's possible.
Pirated portover already available
Oops, just seen this, too. The first pirated copy already. Looking awful, and has bugs, hopefully lots.
Haven't given permission, of course, nor did they bother to ask or notify. Uploader is anonymous. Am trying to get them to remove it from their server but get an 'undeliverable' from their contact form.
Edit: Okay, they did acknowledge my mail and removed the upload. Wouldn't be surprised if it came up elsewhere though.

I just saw another MFS C-47 download on "simviaion.com".
Uploader is called Zach Gloss.

Hi Manfred, I'm really glad you're on this. Charlie over at Avsim has done away with the thread promoting msaddons.org. This morning I sent them an email informing them that they were offering pirated software with no permissions, etc.
Your C-47 is a work of digital art and a joy to fly and operate.
I was just wondering if you were considering doing some work on your C-47 to bring it in to MSFS?
I've been flying your wonderful C-47 for a year or so and can't imagine MSFS without it.

Yeah, I'm waiting for original developers to update their wares. I don't need someone else's half-a$$ed unapproved attempt. All that's required is a little patience. Planes are being worked on. It would have helped if MS had had their "Stuff" together and had the SDK ready to go upon release, or even prior to truly give the developers some time to be prepared.
Having said that, given how many years I waited for releases that didn't show up until P3D, I can wait a little while longer to get all of the planes I want in MSFS. Also, I do hope HS is able to make a version of the KO F-1 for us. I went back to P3D earlier this week, just to fly that bird.
Which, yeah, if your favorite plane isn't in MSFS yet and you need to fly it, then go get a fix in FSX/P3D in your favorite bird, until the original builders, if they're still around or you have their permission, allow it.

Hi Manfred!
Nice to see you again. I will ask the Russian community to remove the illegal version and wait for the author's version of this beautiful aircraft.
No longer on simviation
Hi Oleg, thanks for spotting yet another illicit upload, that's number three and counting. Wow. Please let us know if you were able to get them to remove it.
The one on Simviation is gone now, but it had 500 downloads already if I saw that correctly, even though I think they doctor their numbers. Strangely they also deleted the forum thread in which I asked Mr Gloss to comment.

Manfred, just in case you didn't see it earlier, I'd pay a buck or two (or thirty!) to get your L1649 in the new sim! 
That can be done easily enough by anyone at this stage however there are several things that are INOP using that method.
