    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.

Military heavies

So I've been away from MSFS for a few years having spent most of my spare time completing my SR-71 package for P3D V5.

Now I'm dipping my toes back into MSFS I was wondering if in the intervening period anyone has built any modern military heavies, C-130, C-141, C-5, C-135 type aircraft? I live near a base that has KC-135 and military cargo aircraft, and flying a Tweet from there just feels wrong no matter how good it is. :ernaehrung004:

So far I'm only aware of the C-17, which is freeware. The current version is nice, but they are about to release a much better one soon, with greatly improved cockpit and instruments, if my understanding is correct. Not sure when, something like "when it's done", I suppose :)

Other than this, I'm not sure there's much military heavies around yet.
CaptainSim released their C130 for MSFS by mistake, they probably intended to release it for MS Flight instead... so avoid that one as much as you can.
I think Milviz (whatever their name is now) is working on a much more appropriate C130 right now, but no idea about a release date.
 
Dean is working on a C-5, I'm sure (ly hoping) it will be out by the end of the year.
Then Blackbird/Milviz's C-130
There's a freeware KC-10 in the works...

That's all I can think of right now but who knows what else is floating in the aether :encouragement:
