    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.

I don't think this is valid for marketplace purchases, but for those who bought from Milviz directly, the rather significant beta update (a long time coming) is now available to try out.

UI overhaul - revised to be compatible with modern tooltips/interactions.
-Gunsight is now collimated
-FDE tweaks & changes to address concerns
-Carrier compatible tailhook added
-Sound set update
-Numerous minor changes and fixes.
-Exterior lighting rework
-Interior / exterior model separation
-Minor UI & tooltip adjustments
-Tailhook position adjustments.
-CHT behavior change - cowl flaps are needed with aircraft at idle on ground, where they have about 25 - 30C influence. Cooling effect of high speed can't be avoided, however. Engine now doesn't blow up until above 260C, now takes longer to do so.
-Compass changes to correct provide compass pointer behavior as per Kollsman Mark 10 Compass info: Thin needle is a compass needle, card is fixed, double bar pointer changed to retain ADF functionality.
-Parking brake interaction removed from tailhook.
-Canopy rail clipping fixed.
-Increased aileron trim effectiveness.
-Installer recognizes Windows 11 and now had a "browse" button to choose your install location.
